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!

So perfectly soft
Size: King, Style: 2 Dark Gray
My husband was complaining about the mattress, and wants to spend a lot of money on a new one like the ones at the Waldorf. I asked him to give me a chance to try to fix it first. Watched youtube videos about hotel style beds, and landed on the need for a mattress topper. This one is so... very... comfortable. I thought the grid pattern would bother me, but nope. You don't realize how much heat you soak up from your mattress until you get a nice airy layer in between. I almost completely stopped sweating at night, and he's stopped complaining about hurting as much. This is another of those items that I'm scared of washing too much, but it's held up with care and caution. If it starts to get a bit too squished, I just fluff it in the dryer and the padding poofs right back up. The sides are deep and my mattress sinks right into the pocket with no pulling. I have bad back pain and I am certain this has been helping support my back a bit better, so I wake up more refreshed. I'm sorta popping out of bed like I used to years ago. He still plans on a new mattress, but this has saved us money, for now, and when we get the new one, this will layer on top like a dream. I'm glad I took the chance on this, it has really improved our rest, and that's so important.

Cloud like plushness without loss of support
Size: Queen, Style: 1 Green
Cloud like plushness while not losing support. Bought a new high end plush mattress and adjustable bed frame with massage and still wasn’t feeling that cloud like feeling that I like. I don’t like foam toppers because it is too soft and it lacks support. This topper fit perfectly on a 13” tight top mattress over the protector. The topper was exactly what I was looking for. So comfortable, cool, and put me to sleep right away. Massage feature on adjustable base feels the same as it did without the topper, but the bed is just more comfortable and hard to not want to be lazy in it all day now. For the price, this can’t be beat. If you’re looking for a mattress topper to enhance the comfort of what you already have, buy this. You won’t be disappointed!

Very, very soft and cushiony that I can feel even thru the fitted sheet .
Size: King, Style: 1 Green
Very well packaged. Box was very heavy, but once I got thr shrink wrapped package opened, it inflated on its own. It is a perfect fit. Although it isn't thick, it is extremely soft and my back and hip feel better (arthritis and sciatica). I plan on getting a memory foam pad to put underneath, but for now, I am reasonably pleased. The quality was so good, I decided to keep it instead of going thru the trouble of repacking it.

Nice protector cover, quiet and comfy - best for THICK mattresses
Color: 3 Navy Blue, Size: Full
I liked this pad immediately as fabric cover has nice quilting (just slightly puffy), and touch feel and feels substantial enough to hold up over time. I’ve ordered a few different brands of these and they were crappy, insubstantial pads I did not think would hold up to more than a couple washings. My biggest complaint and it’s due to my own lack of experience buying these in the new world of skillions of mattress thickness choices is that (A) the side panels / elastic pockets are HUGE and will never be secure on anything thinner than a 12” (or thicker!) mattress; and (B) I thought I was buying an ENCASEMENT cover pad which this is not. I’m blaming that on Amazon because I specifically input “encasement” in the search and their F’ing search algorithm does whatever the heck it wants and if you’re not paying nit-picky attention you get stuff you don’t want. (Or you waste time sorting out the ones you didn’t want to see in the first place!) That said I am seriously considering keeping this (depending on late arrivals of competing covers) as I’m certain this will be comfortable and as quiet as these waterproof covers get. It’s a nice cover. UPDATE: it’s a couple weeks later and I’m reporting I did keep it and am happy to have done so. It installed more securely than anticipated and is as comfortable as I thought it would be. I’ll try and update again when I have time to resize pics and show how much my cat enjoys it too:) UPDATE#2: in review I noticed that the 1* reviews were on about nasty liquids leaking through - I haven’t had any large scale events to gauge but I can see how those reviews could be valid. I should report out of EVERY type of these “nice” noiseless “waterproof” pads I’ve got I think every one of them probably could have the same fault. In other words though I use and really like this cover I also purposely use an encasement style mattress protector (you know the put it in a bag w/zipper kind and a pain in the a** to do so kind) to avoid the complaints in the 1* camp. These mattresses are just too costly and spongelike to NOT protect them completely so I appreciate their frustration that things leaked for them. In my choice to keep this I did so because a) it most probably is pretty waterproof & is definitely quiet & comfy; b) it’s pretty easily washable; and c) because most of the encasement protectors are of more “crinkly” material than this (at least the ones I’ve seen so far - maybe the super expensive ones have figured out how to be perfectly waterproof without crinkle) and by using this nice top protector I put a layer on top of the crinklier encasement and everything just ends up much better with no noticeable crinkle. Figured I say this to help detail 1* vs. 5* because right!? how can one thing be so great and when you turn around then be so terrible… just sayin. (& I did not change my 5* rating😎)
