Crassula money treeCrassula,which is popularly called the "money tree", was planted in the Zaporizhzhya Botanical Garden 15 years ago. The tree is in a greenhouse and has now reached a height of 1.3 m. It has very delicate miniature white-pink inflorescences located along the edge of the leaves. This is a real miracle, in indoor conditions the "money tree" does not bloom. This plant is from Africa, and in nature it begins to bloom after the 10th year of life, "said the deputy director of the children's botanical garden Irina Kiychenko. The specialists of the botanical garden have reread a lot of legends about the "money tree". So, if the "money tree", which grows at home, has small leaves - this means small change, and if large - this means large bills. In order for all wishes related to financial well-being to come true, you need to rub a leaf of the "money tree", the employees of the botanical garden are sure, who claim that an unusual event, especially during a crisis, is a good sign for both the garden itself and Zaporozhye. The "dollar tree" and "euro tree" also grow in the botanical garden. Now everyone who takes care of them is eagerly awaiting their flowering. Source: Herald of the Florist
