Possibility of donating a tree from home
If the Crassula is planted correctly and raised with care, it can help its owner achieve financial freedom. Legends say that this plant can be an excellent gift for birthdays or other special occasions.
In order for the fat plant to be beneficial, it is recommended to give a plant that was grown independently. Such a plant will help attract success and prosperity to the new owner. Moreover, such a gift will bring good luck and fill the room with positive energy.
