Small Fortunes · Bay Area jade
Invest in something that actually grows.
Locally propagated jade plants with roots, provenance, and a sense of humor. Tiny living investments and a little something to grow with for new homes, fresh starts, and good fortune.
Five mother trees. One $1,000 goal. Every plant moves the story forward.
Propagated, not warehoused
Each jade begins as a cutting from one of five established mother trees.
Honest young plants
Clear sizing, straightforward care guidance, and no promises of overnight wealth.
Local first
Built in San Mateo for Peninsula and Bay Area plant people, beginners, and gift givers.
Broke But Growing
Five trees become a business.
The process stays public: cuttings, roots, failures, first sales, and the running climb toward $1,000.
- 01
Cut from known mother trees
Every Small Fortune starts with the biological assets already on hand—not anonymous wholesale inventory.
- 02
Rooted and grown with patience
Cuttings callus, root, and establish before joining a drop. The market can rush; jade does not.
- 03
Numbered for the story
Selected plants carry a number and mother-tree provenance, turning a small plant into a collectible chapter.
- 04
Sold, tracked, propagated again
Revenue funds soil, pots, markets, and the next generation. More plants create more story—and more plants.
