He said it was a money plant. But I’ve had my fair share of jade plants but this one is different? The leaves are smaller and a different colour?

It was a gift from their colleague last Christmas so they’ve done well to keep it for 9 months.

It’s been overwatered. Stems turning soft and dropping off with its leaves too. Hopefully they make a recovery in their new spot.

    Whatever it is, I don’t think it has a driver’s license to be in that seat 🤨

    It will not be happy on that shelf. It needs much more light- it’s a succulent

    I had (still have) one that looked that sick and I started putting my coffee grounds in the pot or giving it coffee that was left over and cool and it revived itself. A little Miracle Grow can’t hurt either.

    So thoughtful to “belt it in” for safety ❤️

    Rescue isn’t the right word if you place it somewhere without sufficient light.
