It's definitely a jade plant. If you pick off leaves lower, you can form it into a tree. If you pinch off the branches, it will grow into two more, allowing you to form a tree even more. But keep in mind, it grows relatively slowly. I have had some of my jades for years.

Any leaves or branches you remove will easily grow into a new plant. They are remarkably hearty and need very little water. I have found plant starts that were dried out behind my couch that were still able to green up and grow. A fun and rewarding plant.

I have one of these but leaves keep dropping off, would it be over watering or not enough

We use to call this a rubber plant, and you must keep clean with water as it collects dust, by wiping off with damp cloth and just sprinkle a litter water every day on any plant like a spring shower, no need to drown them.

A very easy to maintain plant. These can often be planted in tiny rocks as a rock garden.

I'd agree that this is a jade plant or sometimes called a money plant because of the belief that it is a lucky plant to keep.

And if you repot it fairly frequently into progressively larger pots, it can grow to be quite tall. It does well in full sunlight but will require more frequent watering.

You have a healthy looking jade plant. I looks good nestled in with other plants. Standing alone in an unusual pot it gives a minimalist look.

It is also one of the plants that can be trained as a bonsai. Have fun with it.

This is a Jade Tree. It is like a succulent. It thrives on lots of filtered light and can survive a little bit of drying out. If you pinch off the new growth leaves, it will put out TWO branches at that point. I pinch mine a lot.

This plant looks like a Jade. They do well indoors in a bright area or on a porch away from direct sunlight. Overwatering is the worse offender to this succulent type of plant and root rot will kill it.

Allow the soil to dry out between watering.

I am WAY late to the party on this one....so if you still need to know, this is a Jade Plant. I raised them for years and years. They like water (so water every other day...but don't soak them...just enough to moisten the soil). They also like sun.

www.google.com/search?q=jade+plant&client=firefox...:

They are often known as good luck plants....and make nice housewarming gifts.

They are SUPER easy to root to start "babies". Just break off a thick stem, put in a narrow pill bottle or other small container and keep water filled and put it in a sunny window. You should get roots in a few weeks. Transplant into a good dirt mixture as soon as the roots are solid and look like they are starting to ball.

This is a Jade Plant. It likes full sun and moderate water, make sure the soil dries out between watering (maybe 2 weeks in the summer, 3-4 in the winter). Do not let it sit in water. If the leaves start to shrivel or fall off its probably being over watered. Red edges mean its getting a lot of direct light, its ok as long as the leaves stay predominantly green.

That's a young jade plant.a succulent. Water sparingly.keep soil well drained.

This is a succulent called a "Jade Plant". Mine lives on my porch in California area 9, and I have seen them used as hedges. It is very easy to start more plants from a piece. Currently, in January, mine is blooming with clusters of small, white flowers. It gets afternoon sun. It has survived an occasional night of 29degrees and afternoons as high as 116.

My daughter has a jade plant that has been so healthy for the past year and suddenly all the leaves are dropping. Does anyone know why this would suddenly happen other than perhaps over-watering?

That looks like a Jade plant. I got one when it was very tiny. I put it in a sunny window, and it's grown incredibly well. It's a pretty easy plant to care for I've found. Sorry, can't give you much more advice. I'm still learning myself. But yes, I'm quite certain/ pretty positive that's a Jade plant.

This is a Jade plant. They are a succulent, which means they are easily killed by too much watering. Let the soil dry out between waterings, and give plenty of bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunshine will turn the fleshy leaves quite red. If you give it the right care, it may reward you with flowers.
