Plant guide
Jade plant
Crassula
Light
A sunny window: four or more hours of direct sun a day is best. If you move it outdoors for summer, get it used to the sun gradually or the leaves will burn. In shade the leaves darken and the stems droop.
Watering
Water deeply once the soil has dried; in winter keep it on the dry side. Overwatering makes the leaves drop and the stem rot.
Air
Ordinary indoor conditions: it tolerates a wide range of temperature and humidity.
Toxic?
Cats: Unpleasant · Dogs: Unpleasant — More about pets
People: Not listed as poisonous.
This is normal
- In good light the leaf edges turn red — that's normal.
- It rarely flowers: buds need cool nights around 13 °C and the short days of autumn.
