The Story Behind Our Jade Plants
In 2001, SSC was founded with a single thriving jade plant—a small but resilient symbol of growth. Our Co-founders, Tad and Tara, nurtured that jade plant alongside the budding company, watching it flourish as SSC grew. Over the years, this original "mother plant" has been repotted a remarkable 10 times, each move a testament to its resilience.
By 2016, it had become a staple of our headquarters in Royersford, PA, where Tad and Tara propagated it into 16 new jade plants, each one thriving. And from these plants, hundreds of cuttings have since been shared with friends, family, and coworkers—a living legacy of our journey and a symbol of good energy and connection.
Now, we’re thrilled to share a piece of this legacy with you. Jade plants, often called “money trees,” are known for bringing positive energy and attracting prosperity. As you nurture this plant, may it bring you as much joy, good fortune, and inspiration as ours have brought us.
Jade plants are not for human or animal consumption.

Jade Plant Care Instructions
These plants are still young propagations and may not have developed deep roots yet, and that’s perfectly okay! Don’t worry — with time and care, they’ll establish themselves beautifully.
Sunlight:
Jade plants thrive in indirect light; too much discolors leaves, too little stunts growth.
Water:
Water jade plants every one to two weeks, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water more frequently in the spring and summer, and less frequently in the winter.
Temperature:
Jade plants prefer temperatures between 65°F and 75°F. They can tolerate nighttime temperatures of 50–55°F
Propagation:
As your jade plant grows, its roots will too! Repot young plants every 2–3 years and older ones every 4–5 years to encourage healthy growth. If your plant outgrows its space, try propagation! Simply take a stem cutting and plant it in soil to grow a brand-new jade plant. Share the friendship!
