Crassula ovata 'Minor'

Crassula ovata 'Minor' is a compact jade plant selection with smaller, fleshy leaves and a dense, branching habit. It has the familiar jade plant habit of thick succulent stems, paired glossy leaves and a miniature tree-like outline as it matures. In strong light, the leaf edges can develop a warmer tint, while the main leaf surface remains rich green.

This plant stores water in its leaves and stems, so its care depends on bright light, drainage and dry intervals between waterings. With time, Crassula ovata 'Minor' forms a sturdy base and naturally branched outline that suits small pots and bonsai-style shaping.

Crassula ovata 'Minor' compact features

  • Compact jade plant selection with smaller rounded leaves
  • Thick, branching succulent stems that age into a tree-like form
  • Glossy green foliage, sometimes with warmer leaf edges in strong light
  • Slow, steady growth in pots
  • Suited to bright windowsills and mineral succulent substrates

Crassula ovata 'Minor' origin and growth habit

Crassula ovata is a succulent shrub from south-eastern Mozambique to the south-eastern Cape region. The species stores water in fleshy leaves and thick stems, traits suited to bright, seasonally dry conditions and fast drainage. 'Minor' is a compact cultivated form of the species, selected for smaller foliage and contained growth.

In indoor cultivation, Crassula ovata 'Minor' keeps a neat scale when light is strong and watering is measured. Older stems become thicker and more woody-looking with age, while new shoots stay fleshy and green before maturing.

Crassula ovata 'Minor' light and dry-cycle care

  • Light: Provide very bright light with direct sun where available. Increase sun exposure gradually after transport or darker winter months.
  • Watering: Water deeply, then let the substrate dry well. Reduce watering in cooler, darker months when growth slows.
  • Substrate: Use a fast-draining succulent mix with a high mineral fraction. Good aeration is essential around the roots.
  • Pot choice: Keep it in a freely draining container. Shallow or moderately snug pots help keep the compact form stable.
  • Temperature: Keep frost-free and ideally above 10 °C. Warm, bright rooms support steady growth.
  • Humidity: Low to average indoor humidity suits Crassula ovata 'Minor'. Keep the foliage dry between cleanings.
  • Feeding: Use a diluted succulent fertiliser while the plant is actively growing. Heavy fertilising can push soft, stretched growth.
  • Pruning: Pinch or prune during active growth to shape the crown and encourage branching.
  • Propagation: Stem cuttings root reliably after callusing. Leaf cuttings can also root, though they develop more slowly.

Crassula ovata 'Minor' troubleshooting checks

  • Wrinkled leaves: Check substrate dryness and root health. Healthy, dry roots can be watered; damaged roots need recovery first.
  • Yellow, soft or translucent leaves: Reduce watering and inspect for compact, wet substrate.
  • Leaning growth: Rotate the pot and increase light gradually.
  • Mealybugs or scale: Inspect leaf pairs, stem joints and the woody base, then isolate the plant for treatment.

Crassula ovata 'Minor' safety notes

Cats and dogs should not be allowed to chew Crassula ovata leaves or stems. Keep Crassula ovata 'Minor' away from pets that chew foliage and place it out of reach of small children.

Guided tour through a difficult work
Format: Paperback
For the non-expert reader of Plato, this is a very good text for working through Timaeus. Actually, it may be useful to expert readers as well, but I wouldn't know about that, being firmly situated in the non-expert camp. Though some scholars may take exception to certain parts of Cornford's translation and interpretation, for those of us trying to get through it for the first time and on our own, this is still an exceptional guide. By the way, for an alternative translation and interpretation, the reader may want to check out Kalkavage's translation (Focus Philosophical Library), it is very good (I would rate it 5 stars also) and has some extremely helpful appendices for understanding references to music, astronomy, and geometry.

Cornford's Plato Cosmology/Timaeus
Format: Paperback
This is an excellent and invaluable reference book for Plato's Timaeus. If you are reading Timaeus you MUST have this book. It contains line-by-line commentary, and also, most valuable, some very helpful illustrations (example: illustration of the human body as Timaeus explained it). I would, however, balance this book with other books that attempt to place Timaeus within the rest of Plato's works. I recommend, for example, Peter Kalkavage's Timaeus. There, he attempts to link Timaeus and Republic.

Plato's dialogue about the physical world
Format: Paperback
The two biggest topics in the Timaeus are astronomy and the elements of bodies, which are constructed using triangles and the tetrahedron, octahedron, icosahedron, and cube. I would like to see a translation of the Timaeus that uses it as a way to introduce all the astronomy that appears in the dialogue. Introducing the astronomy does not mean just talking in words about spheres or the zodiac or the ecliptic, but actually explaining how these were used by astronomers. Cornford has much to say, but to someone who has not learned any Greek astronomy his commentary will be opaque and hard to use. I didn't know the astronomy well enough to readily understand Cornford's explanations. I plan to learn more classical Greek astronomy, perhaps using Evans' , and then read Waterfield's translation of the Timaeus . Before reading this you should have read the Republic and know some classical Greek natural philosophy, mathematics, and astronomy. Although Cornford's commentary makes the dialogue staccato, I am glad for it because I wouldn't otherwise have understood much of what Plato says. The Timaeus and the Parmenides are the two dialogues of Plato that one needs commentary to understand; the Parmenides demands the commentary because so much of what is happening depends on the original language, and the Timaeus demands the commentary because of all the things the reader is supposed to be familiar with. The following is a list of topics I kept while reading the dialogue: theory of Forms 27d-28a, 51a-52a; harmonics 35b-36b; time 37c-38e, 39b-e; vision 45b-46c, 67c-68d; space 52b; surfaces 53c; weight 62d-63e; sound 67a-67c; physiology 70c-79e, 80d-86a; antiperistasis 79e-80c.
