"Jade Plant"

"Jade Plant" (Crassula argentea/Crassula portulacea) Native to South Africa This slow-growing & very sturdy succulent performs best in full sun. Its soil must dry out completely between thorough soaking waterings. It prefers a cool (but still bright) winter location. It will attain a maximum height of four feet or so. (A mature plant may occasionally produce clusters of small pale-pink flowers at its terminal tips.) Fertilize in the spring & summer months (March through October) when plant is actively growing. Propagate with one leaf or stem cuttings taken in the spring. When grown in full sun, the edges of leaves will be delightfully rimmed in red!
