The Jade or Money Tree Bonsai Plants – Symbolising good luck & prosperity.

The Jade Money Tree, otherwise known as Portulacaria afra, is a fascinating and popular choice for bonsai enthusiasts, especially beginners. Holly, our expert at Bonsai Direct, shares her insights on this unique plant.

“The Jade Money Tree is not just a beautiful bonsai, it’s also steeped in symbolism,” Holly explains. “It’s often associated with good luck, prosperity, and fortune, which is why it’s commonly referred to as the ‘fortune plant’ or ‘money tree’.”

This bonsai is particularly appealing for those seeking a low-maintenance indoor plant. Its succulent-like leaves store water, making it quite forgiving if you occasionally forget to water it. “It’s an ideal choice for busy individuals or those new to bonsai cultivation,” Holly notes.

“The Jade Money Tree thrives in indoor environments and doesn’t require constant attention.” But the Jade Money Tree’s benefits go beyond aesthetics and ease of care. “Did you know that the Portulacaria is known as the magical clean air tree?” Holly asks. “It’s an excellent ‘carbon sponge’, absorbing more carbon from the air than most other plants. This makes it not just a beautiful addition to your home, but also a contributor to cleaner air.”

Interestingly, this plant has some surprising admirers in the wild. “Here’s a fun fact,” Holly shares, “in its natural habitat, the Jade Money Tree is a favourite food for rhinoceroses and elephants!” Of course, your indoor bonsai won’t have to worry about such large visitors.

Whether you’re looking to bring some good fortune into your life, start your bonsai journey, or simply add a touch of green to your indoor space, the Jade Money Tree bonsai is an excellent choice. As Holly puts it, “It’s more than just a plant – it’s a symbol of prosperity, a natural air purifier, and a delightful, easy-to-care-for companion in your home or office.”

Beautiful Bonsai Tree Range

Bonsai expert Holly literally grew up with a pair of bonsai scissors in her hand. As Lloyd’s eldest daughter, Holly has benefitted from growing up on the nursery. Despite being in her early twenties, Holly already has many years of bonsai experience under her belt. She is passionate about the environment and environmental issues and wants to continue the journey her parents have started.
