Money Plant

I was certain that Epipremnum aureum better known as the Devil's Ivy had the nickname money plant. I struggled to find a reference to the money plant here. I am changing the redirect of money plant to Epipremnum aureum, and retaining that of money tree to Jade plant. I am from India, and know for sure that what we think of as a money plant is Epipremnum aureum. -Manasl 18:19, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

The Money Plant as far as I have read and know is actually the Pachira aquatica. I have changed the redirect for money tree to that article.

I toned down the language in that "money tree" section. If the jade plant is commonly referred to as the money tree, it's not false to say that it's referred to as the money tree. Steve 00:27, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

I have found no need to prune. The plant propagates by pruning itself in much the way you describe. The last couple of inches of a branch sprout aerial roots then it drops off.

How-to content marker

I believe that the article doesn't provide step-by-step instructions and advice, rather it explains specifics about the plant, so I feel that that warrants removal of the tag. If you disagree, put it back up. I won't revert. HL-SDK (talk) 16:26, 11 July 2008 (UTC) pardon me for not signing

Picture of the day

A flower and buds of a jade plant (Crassula ovata), a succulent plant native to South Africa, but now popular around the world as a houseplant. Jades are evergreen plants, with leaves the color of jade, hence the common name. Under the right conditions, they may produce small white or pink star-like flowers in early spring.Photo: Noodle snacks

Root problems?

Has anyone heard about the roots from jade plants causing problems? All I've ever seen from them are very shallow root systems.

One of the directors of our condo had the gardeners remove all the jade plants in our complex "because the roots cause problems". I can't find anything on the internet about this, so I think that she probably said that just because she didn't like jade plants. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SimplyIrresistible (talk • contribs) 04:10, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
