Crassula ovata, commonly known as jade or lucky plant, is a perennial evergreen succulent that belongs to the stonecrop family, Crassulaceae. C. ovata is native to South Africa and Mozambique where it is found growing in dry rocky soils. Crassula ovata has succulent ovate leaves that have waxy cuticles on their jade green epidermis. Each leaf measures about 1 to 2 inches long and 0.5 to 1 inch wide. Crassula ovata is a medium-sized plant that typically grows to be around 1 to 3 feet tall and 1 to 2 feet wide. The stems turn a dull gray color with maturity and thicken to form bark like skin. Crassula ovata blooms in late winter to early spring with large inflorescences of tiny white or pink star shaped flowers. This species is grown as an ornamental plant for its ability to thrive from lack of care and its beautiful anatomy. Crassula ovata grows best in full sun to partial shade, sitting in well-draining soils. Water the plant adequately during summer and sparingly during the winter. It
