Crassula ovata — the classic Jade Plant — is a slow‑growing, branching succulent shrub with thick, glossy leaves and a tidy, architectural habit. It’s one of the most reliable houseplants in cultivation, long‑lived, forgiving, and beautifully sculptural as it matures.
 
Crassula ovata typically reaches 1–2 m tall over many years, though container plants often stay smaller. Its spread is usually 0.5–1 m, forming a rounded, tree‑like shape with stout, woody stems and pairs of fleshy, oval leaves. In strong light, the leaf margins develop a red blush, adding contrast and colour. Mature, well‑lit plants may produce clusters of small white‑pink star‑shaped flowers in winter.
 
It thrives in full sun to bright light, ideally a south‑ or west‑facing window. Strong light keeps growth compact and encourages red edging. Watering is minimal: allow the soil to dry fully between waterings, then water deeply and let excess drain away. In winter, reduce watering sharply. A gritty, fast‑draining mix prevents root rot, the only real risk with this species.
