Description

Crassula ovata ‘Minima’ is a dwarf  hardy, compact succulent  forming thick branches and clumping, rounded green foliage resembling a small tree or shrub & growing to 75cm and up to 50cm wide. . The leaves are thick, fleshy, glossy and green with reddish edges. Flowers are coral-pink in colour.

Environment

Dwarf Jade is easy to grow in a container, best in full sun but will tolerate part sun. It needs well-drained soil with a neutral pH. Water regularly from spring to autumn and allow the soil to dry out before watering again. During the winter months, water only enough to keep the leaves from shriveling. A most common reason for failure is over watering.

Landscape Use

It can be used as an ornamental plant.
