Origin
The Crassula ovata 6/tray, also known as the Jade Plant, has its origin in South Africa. The plant is part of the succulent Crassulaceae family and naturally grows in rocky areas. It has become a popular house plant in many parts of the world, mainly due to its easy care and attractive appearance.

Characteristics
Crassula ovata is a perennial, woody plant with succulent leaves, meaning the leaves are thick and fleshy and hold water. The plant is characterised by its glossy, oval leaves that have a rich jade-green colour. When the plant is exposed to sufficient sunlight, the edges of the leaves can turn red. In late winter or early spring, the plant may produce small pink or white flowers.

Care
Caring for a Crassula ovata is generally straightforward, contributing to its popularity as a house plant. The plant requires well-draining soil and does well in a standard potting soil mix for cacti. It is important not to overwater the plant, as this can lead to root rot. The Crassula ovata likes a lot of light, but needs protection from intense direct sunlight, especially in the hot summer months.
