Last year, I bought a jade plant for Chinese New Year because according to my mother-in-law, it is good for the house. Jade plant is a succulent plant that is also known as a lucky plant, money plant or money tree.
Alas, after a few months, the leaves started dropping one by one. I think I over-water the plant. So after that pot of jade plant died, my mother-in-law gave me another pot which she has been growing at her other son’s home. That one also died and when she was about to come to my house, I tied the stems with red ribbons (as it was a week before Chinese New Year). I was hoping that she didn’t notice it but she did.
Pot 1 from my mother-in-law
The above is Pot 2 from my mother-in-law after the first pot died. The leaves also dropped out one by one and the stems became soft and died.
This is the pot of jade plant that I bought from the market a few weeks ago. It cost RM15. I have been watering it only once a week or when I feel that the soil is dry. I hope this jade plant will grow properly. I have no problems with other green plants but I just can’t seem to grow jade plants and it is driving me insane!
