Introducing the very stunning Crassula arborescens, also known as the Silver Dollar Plant; this is a stunning succulent shrub and a member of the Crassula-Jade plant genus. This multi-branched shrub originates from South Africa and gets its name from its unique round, silver-green leaves that resemble silver dollars. 

Crassula arborescens has several other common names, such as Chinese jade, silver dollar jade, silver jade plant, African rubber plant, Crassula cotyledon, Crassula arborea, and cotyledon arborescens. 

The Crassula arborescens is a slow-growing succulent that can reach heights of up to 10 feet in its natural habitat. However, if you are growing indoors, it tends to stay smaller, usually around 3-4 feet tall. Crassula arborescens is popular for growing as a bonzai tree because the tree stays small indoors. This Crassula arborescens flat, plump, oval-shaped leaves are bluish-grey with a reddish tip. In the full sun, the tip coloration gets more vibrant. Additionally, you will find reddish spots on the upper surface of the leaf. 

The flower of the Crassula arborescens silver dollar plant is a sight to behold, with its star-shaped flowers adding a burst of color to the plant. These vibrant blooms can range from shades of white to pink, creating a stunning display that lasts from spring all the way through summer. 

Crassula arborescens can be propagated easily from cuttings. However, the silver jade plant is toxic to humans and pets if consumed, so it should be kept away from children. 

The Crassula Arborescens or Silver Jade Plant looks stunning indoors and is a perfect gift for family and friends!

Watering Needs 

Crassula arborescens are known for their water-retaining properties, thrive in various climates and require less frequent watering, making them ideal for indoor gardening. This is one of the major reasons why they are considered low-maintenance plants. 

When it comes to watering the Crassula arborescens, this drought-tolerant jade plant is relatively low, as it is adapted to arid environments. The Silver jade plant dislikes water as the leaves store water. The soil should be allowed to dry out completely before the next round of watering. The Crassula plant should never be allowed to sit in water else; the roots will rot.  

As a general guideline, you can water your plant every 2-3 weeks during the growing season, which is typically spring and summer. During winter, the watering frequency should be once a month. However, before watering, always check the soil moisture level. 

When watering, make sure to thoroughly soak the soil until excess water drains out of the bottom of the pot. This aids in the removal of accumulated salts or minerals. 

Light Requirement

The Crassula arborescens thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. It prefers a location with plenty of natural light, but it's important to protect it from intense, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as this can cause sunburn on the leaves. If you're growing the Silver Dollar Jade indoors, place it near a window where it can receive bright, light shade throughout the day. 

If you notice that your Crassula plant is stretching or leaning towards the light source, it may be an indication that it's not receiving enough light. In this case, you can consider providing supplemental artificial light, such as a grow light, to ensure that your Crassula arborescens gets the right amount of light it needs to stay healthy. 

Remember, finding the right balance of light is crucial for the Silver Dollar Jade's growth and overall well-being. So, aim for bright, indirect light and monitor how your plant responds to its lighting conditions. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs

Crassula arborescens prefers the standard cacti potting soil mixed with sand. It loves to thrive in poor soil. Ideally, you want to use our specialized succulent potting mix that contains 5 natural substrates and organic mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your Crassula succulent to thrive. For those DIY people, as an okay alternative, you can create your own potting mix by combining equal portions of perlite, coarse sand, and good natural potting soil. 

When it comes to fertilizing the Crassula arborescens, it doesn't require frequent feeding. During the growing season, which is typically spring, you can fertilize your silver dollar plant with a balanced 5-10-5 NPK slow-release fertilizer. Apply the fertilizer once a year to provide the necessary nutrients for healthy growth. 

Remember, it's important not to over-fertilize your Crassula arborescens, as this can lead to excessive growth and weak, leggy stems. Always follow the instructions on the fertilizer packaging and adjust the frequency and strength of fertilization based on the specific needs of your Crassula plant. 

Hardiness Zone & More 

The Crassula arborescens is native to South Africa and is typically hardy in USDA hardiness zones 9-11. It prefers warm temperatures and can tolerate a range of humidity levels. In terms of temperature, the Crassula arborescens thrives in average to warm temperatures between 65-75°F. It can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures down to 50°F, but it's best to avoid exposing it to freezing temperatures, as it is not frost-tolerant. 

When it comes to humidity, the Crassula arborescens is adaptable and can tolerate a range of humidity levels. It can thrive in both dry and moderately humid environments. However, it's important to avoid excessively high humidity, as it can increase the risk of fungal diseases. 

Overall, providing the Crassula arborescens with a warm and relatively dry environment will help ensure its optimal growth and health. Remember to protect it from extreme temperatures and avoid exposing it to prolonged periods of high humidity. 

Give this succulent a try if you're looking for an easy Crassula arborescence silver dollar plant to care for and for your succulent gardens!

Highly entertained golden retriever!
Color: Green, Size: Large (3.0 in, Pack of 1), Color: Green, Size: Large (3.0 in, Pack of 1)
My golden retriever spends hours chasing this ball. Its erratic bounce pattern keeps him engaged and guessing where to chase the ball. It is durable and stands up to chewing well.

Great quality ball
Color: Green, Size: Medium (2-1/2 in (Pack of 2))
The product is great no issues. It’s very durable. All of this brands products are strong and durable. The only reason I gave it a four star is I think my dogs prefer more the blue round balls. So that being said, I won’t buy these anymore, but they love the blue ones whether they’re the recycled or not. Great company!

Pups Love
Color: Green, Size: Medium (2-1/2 in, (Pack of 1)), Color: Green, Size: Medium (2-1/2 in, (Pack of 1))
As you can see from the photo, my pup absolutely loves it! It’s the perfect size for him and for reference he’s 25 pounds. It’s got a nice weight to it, but it’s soft enough to be able to throw and not worry about damaging the walls. We just started playing with it today, but it seems very durable.
