Silver jade plant

Silver jade plant belongs to a diverse group of Crassulas, whose forms range from low, compact succulents to branched shrubs. The genus is recognized for fleshy leaves and small star-shaped or funnel-shaped flowers, while mature size and outdoor suitability vary among species. ([RHS Crassula profile](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/4739/crassula-ovata/details)) ## Growing Crassulas Use a free-draining growing mix and give the plant bright light; many Crassulas suit pots and conservatories. Watering should follow the identified species and its growth cycle rather than a fixed schedule. For example, the RHS recommends lighter watering during winter dormancy for jade plant, *C. ovata*.

Check the soil before watering and reduce moisture during slower, cooler periods; protect tender potted plants from cold where needed. The precise mature size and flowering season depend on the Crassula species.
