Jade Plant care
Crassula ovata
The Jade Plant is a popular succulent known for its thick, woody stems and fleshy, oval-shaped leaves. It is widely grown in Indian homes as a symbol of good luck and prosperity.
Light
Full sun
Place it in a spot that receives at least four to six hours of direct sunlight daily to maintain its compact shape.
Water
About every 16 days. Check the soil first.
Water only when the top two inches of soil feel completely dry to the touch, as this plant stores water in its leaves.
Temperature
Happy between 10°C and 35°C.
Pets
Not safe for pets
The leaves are toxic to cats and dogs if ingested, potentially causing vomiting or lethargy.
Soil and pot
Well-draining cactus mix
Terracotta with drainage holes
Care guide
A slow-growing succulent that wants at least a few hours of direct sun daily and a pot with real drainage. Shriveled leaves mean underwatering; soft, translucent ones mean the opposite.
