Symbolism, colours and shapes In Feng Shui, the Money Tree represents wealth and prosperity, and in popular culture it also symbolises harmony and balance. With its bright green leaves, Crassula ovata is eye-catching and filters pollutants from the ambient air. In addition, the richly branched ornamental shrub is easy to care for, which is particularly appreciated by novice gardeners.

Crassula ovata contrasts perfectly with flowering plants and thus avoids overloading the window sill with opulence.

Origin The money tree comes from the smallest and at the same time richest phytodivision on earth: the floral kingdom of the Cape. This region borders directly on the succulent Karoo, a centre of biodiversity with nearly 2,000 different succulent species. To survive in these dry, hot regions, Crassula ovata stores every drop of water in its fleshy leaves.
