Jade, also called the Goodluck Jade plant, is one of the best succulents to grow indoors or in a balcony garden. The thick, fleshy leaves, the sleek stems, and the beautiful flowers it has are all a delight to see. And here are 9 reasons why it is a must-grow.

Unlike some indoor plants that take forever to show any growth, the jade plant grows pretty quickly. It spreads its stems quickly, new leaves start growing, and within weeks it looks fuller than before.

Another big advantage of keeping and growing a Jade is that it is super low-maintenance. You dont need to water it every day or feed it expensive fertilisers to help it grow. And it can stay alive for even weeks without being watered.

Not every home or balcony has access to bright sunlight, and it is even more difficult when it comes to city apartments. But worry not as the Jade plant will continue to grow even in indirect light.

While most people love the jade plant for its thick green leaves, not many know that it also flowers when it matures. When you give the plant enough sunlight, water, and some additional nutrients, when it matures in 3-5 years, it produces small, star-shaped white flowers.

The jade plant has a naturally clean and sculpted look, and with regular pruning, you can make it grow in any form you want. Be it around a trellis or in different shapes, the aesthetics of a Jade plant are undeniable, giving the perfect mix of elegance and natural beauty.

In many cultures, especially in Feng Shui, the Jade plant is considered a symbol of wealth, good luck, and positive energy. It is believed to attract success and abundance when kept near the entrance or in a business space.

Another amazing quality of the Jade plant is that it will continue to grow in both water and soil. And while a Jade growing in soil will grow quicker, the one kept in a water-based pot will have stronger roots.

If you already have a Jade plant but feel like you want more, worry not! Jade is super easy to propagate and will start growing again quickly. Just cut a healthy stem (with leaves) and let it dry for a day. Then place it in soil, and in a few weeks, you will have a new plant.

If you want to grow it indoors and have a considerably small space, Jade will be the perfect option. A small Jade plant can fit on a tiny table, on a windowsill, a corner shelf, or even near the bed lamp.
