Description:
Crassula ovata, commonly known as the jade plant, is a succulent native to South Africa and Mozambique. It is an evergreen shrub with thick branches and shiny, smooth leaves that can develop a red tinge when exposed to sunlight. The plant grows up to 8 feet tall and produces small pink or white star-shaped flowers in winter. It requires minimal care, thriving in well-draining soil with little water, and can tolerate some light frost. The jade plant is easy to propagate from clippings and is a popular choice for its low maintenance and attractive appearance.
