They are a Crassula also known as the Jade Plant .
They can be used as a houseplant and . Tender though and best grown in pots if you have them outside . There's also a pachira which is a money tree .Lucicey doesn't ring a bell though unless it's some new variety ..but this is a money plant

Maybe lucicey actually means *lucky* ? I have heard of Crassula referred to as *Lucky Trees* They are succulents, very easy to grow and look after - just don't overwater them !

Apparently if you have a Jade/Money Plant, you will never have money worries ... huh !! Anyway they are very hardy, you can take cuttings easily in water and they will root quickly. They like a bright windowsill but not direct sunlight, not too much water, more in summer and very little in winter. You don't always get the flowers though, but very pretty. I have had one for twenty years and it is like a tree now ! I just keep snipping out the top shoots to make it grow thicker. Otherwise it would get spindly. And no the money bit isn't true .. !! Good luck tho.
