How to care
Crassula ovata, commonly known as the jade plant, is a popular succulent houseplant known for its thick, fleshy leaves and tree-like appearance. It thrives in bright, indirect sunlight and can tolerate some direct sun. The jade plant is drought-tolerant, making it ideal for those who may forget to water regularly. It prefers well-draining soil and should be allowed to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.
