Classic Jade (Crassula ovata): A superstar grower when kept indoors as a potted plant. Its shiny leaves sprout from thick branches and can flush red at the edges when exposed to direct sun. It is native to South Africa and Mozambique where it grows en masse on rocky slopes, reaching up to 8 feet tall. Indoor growing, small pots, and pruning will keep C. ovata in a small, bonsai size.
Jade is a forgiving grower and makes a gre.at choice for beginners. Just give it a well-draining soil & bright light. Jade reproduces readily from cuttings, but plants also produce dense clusters of white, star-shaped blossoms in the winter.
Crassula can show tiny white or black dots on their leaves. These are healthy, water-transferring pores called "hydathodes" and not a sign of disease.
