During the winter-spring period, Crassula ovata blooms with pink, star-shaped flowers that emit a sweet scent.
The succulent is also known as Gollum Jade, Jade Plant, Jade Tree, and Money Tree because of the emerald-green color of its leaves which is associated as the color of money. Many growers enjoy propagating jade succulents because they believe it will bring them luck or money.
Gollum Jade can grow from 1-foot to 3-feet (30.48cm to 91.44cm) in height and 1-foot to 2-feet (30.48cm to 60.96cm) wide. The succulent originates from the Crassulaceae family and is native to South Africa.
How to Grow and Care for Crassula Ovata
Temperature:
Room temperatures of around 60°f / 15.5°c --- 75°f / 24°c are ideal. Winter no less than 50°f / 10°c.
Light:
The jade plant flourishes in good health with plenty of light. If you can provide a few hours of sunshine a day your going to have a happy plant.
Watering:
It's best to allow the soil to become dry between each watering which will depend on the time of year, how much humidity and amount of sunlight it's getting. Allowing too much water to sit at the bottom of the pot with the roots will cause them to rot (avoid this).
Soil:
A good draining soil mix that is gritty is advisable to use, which is sold and used for cacti and succulents.
Re-Potting:
Re-pot (spring - summer) when the plant becomes root bound or the soil needs renewing. A good solid and heavy pot is best to use because Jade plants are well known for being top heavy. A heavy pot will prevent them from tipping over.
Fertilizer:
Feed each week or two (maybe less) with a weak or diluted liquid fertilizer. Fertilizer made for succulents may be your best bet, that does not need to be a high strength type.
Humidity:
They survive well in quite humid conditions naturally, although you will please them with water misting.
Propagation:
Propagating is achieved with leaf or stem cuttings which are placed into a soil mix, then wait until they show some growth. Before placing them in soil mix you will prevent potential problems from the sap seeping out by allowing them to dry on a windowsill, for a few days or so.
