Crassula ovata, better known as the Jade Plant, is the OG succulent superstar. With plump, glossy leaves and a strong, tree-like form, this one’s a symbol of luck, resilience, and low-effort beauty.

Plant Care
Light:
Loves bright, direct to indirect light. More sun = happier, red-tinged leaves. A sunny windowsill is its happy place.

Watering:
Let the soil dry out completely between waterings. In winter, water even more sparingly. This one stores water in its leaves and really hates wet feet.

Temperature:
Thrives in 18–26°C. Keep above 10°C, and protect from frost if outdoors.

Potting:
Our Savvy Succa mix is ideal — free-draining and gritty to keep roots dry and happy.

Hot tips:
Terracotta pots are perfect for helping excess moisture evaporate. If you want a thicker trunk, prune lightly and give it time — Jade becomes more bonsai-like with age. And yes, it’s super easy to propagate from leaf or stem cuttings!

Pet Friendly: No
