Know before you buy
This succulent prefers bright, indirect light. Placing it near a sunny window where it can receive plenty of natural light will help it maintain its vibrant color and compact growth habit.
As a drought-tolerant succulent, the Jade plant requires very little water. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot, especially during the winter months.
No, the Crassula 'Jade' is not considered pet-safe. It is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested, so it is best to keep it on a high tabletop or in a room inaccessible to your pets.
While it is primarily grown for its foliage, a mature Jade plant can produce delicate, star-shaped pinkish-white flowers in late fall or early winter if it receives adequate light and proper care.
No, the Jade plant prefers low humidity environments. It is well-suited for standard indoor conditions and does not require any additional misting or humidity control.
