Although Crassula ovata – better known as the money tree – has been one of the most popular potted plants in homes around the world for decades, many people don’t even know that this seemingly modest succulent can also bloom. And not just with a single flower for display, but with a veritable fireworks display of tiny, star-shaped white flowers that emit a delicate but recognizable scent. The problem? Most specimens in captivity (read: in our apartments) never do this – not because they can’t, but because we treat them as decoration, not as living beings with the rhythm of nature.
