Jade Plant

Brief Description

The Jade Plant (Crassula ovata) is a popular succulent houseplant with thick, woody stems and glossy, oval-shaped leaves that resemble jade stones. The leaves are typically a vibrant green but can develop red tips when exposed to direct sunlight. It has a tree-like appearance, growing upright and branching out.

Care Instructions

Jade plants are relatively easy to care for. They thrive in bright, indirect sunlight, though they can tolerate some direct sun. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot. They prefer well-draining soil, such as a succulent or cactus mix. Fertilize sparingly during the growing season (spring and summer) and protect from frost.
