Crassula Ovata

Crassula Ovata 

Crassula ovata, commonly known as the Jade Plant, is a popular evergreen succulent valued for its thick, glossy green leaves and easy-care nature. Its neat, branching growth makes it a great choice for bright indoor spaces, patios, balconies and succulent collections.

This plant develops fleshy oval leaves that may show subtle red edging when grown in brighter light. As it matures, it forms a sturdy, tree-like structure with thickening stems, giving it an attractive miniature shrub appearance.
