Succulent Crassula 'Jade'

Jade Plant 💚🌿 has thick, glossy green leaves and a sturdy branching shape that gives it a classic, tidy look whether it’s styled on a sunny shelf or grown into a more tree-like form over time. It does best in very bright light indoors or outdoors in warm weather, where it stays compact and can handle a little direct sun. This is an easy, low-fuss plant that prefers to dry out fully between waterings rather than stay constantly damp. Pro tip: use a pot with good drainage and resist the urge to water too often ☀️.
