Crassula ovata (Jade Plant) is a popular, low-maintenance succulent featuring thick, woody stems and glossy, fleshy green leaves often tinged with red. As a slow-growing evergreen shrub native to South Africa, it is commonly kept indoors for its bonsai-like appearance and long lifespan. 

Key Characteristics & Description

• Foliage: The leaves are succulent, oval-shaped (ovate), 1 to 3.5 inches long, and arranged in opposite pairs.
• Structure: It develops a thick, woody trunk with age, resembling a miniature tree or bonsai.
• Color: Leaves are shiny green, sometimes developing red edges when exposed to high sunlight.
• Flowers: Mature plants can produce small, white or pinkish, star-shaped flowers in late winter to early spring.
• Size: As a houseplant, it typically grows 1 to 3 feet tall, but can reach 6 feet in optimal conditions. 

Care Requirements

• Light: Prefers bright, direct light or high-light, south-facing windows.
• Watering: Drought-tolerant; requires infrequent watering. The soil should dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot.
• Soil: Requires well-draining soil, such as a succulent or cactus mix.
• Temperature: Thrives in warm, dry conditions, but tolerates cooler indoor temperatures.
