Crassula Ovata / Jade

The Crassula ovata, commonly known as the Jade Plant, is a timeless succulent beloved for its thick, glossy green leaves and tree-like structure. With its sculptural form and ease of care, the Jade is often seen as a symbol of prosperity and good luck. Its plump, oval-shaped leaves may develop red edges when exposed to bright light, adding depth and contrast to its appearance. A great choice for beginners and collectors alike.

Size and Growth:

Height and Spread: Jade can grow up to 2-3 feet tall and about the same width when mature, making it a perfect compact shrub for pots or garden displays.

Growth Rate: It has a slow to moderate growth rate, ideal for those seeking a manageable houseplant.

Pet-Friendliness:

Toxicity: Unfortunately, Jade is toxic to pets. Keep it out of reach from curious cats and dogs to ensure their safety.

Care Instructions:

Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light or partial sun. It can tolerate full sun outdoors but may develop redder tips as a result.

Watering: Water deeply, but allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.

Soil: Prefers well-draining soil, such as a cactus or succulent mix. Use a pot with drainage holes for optimal health.

Temperature: Enjoys typical indoor temperatures but should be kept away from drafts and extreme cold. Ideal range: 15-29°C

Fertilizer: Feed with a diluted succulent fertilizer during its growing season (spring and summer) every 4-6 weeks. No need to fertilize in winter.

Pruning: Trim as needed to shape or encourage branching.
