It is characterized by its elliptical, fleshy, glossy leaves with numerous small spots on the surface. The leaves grow symmetrically, bearing umbel-like white or pale pink flowers in the center. In its mature state, it gradually exhibits charming gemstone-red coloration from the leaf edges toward the center, presenting an overall petite and adorable appearance.

How to care for Crassula Ovata Crosby's Compact (Dwarf Jade Plant), 6" to 8" tall

Sun/Temperature: You can place it on a balcony or windowsill to receive ample sunlight. During summer, the Dwarf Jade Plant enters a semi-dormant state, so provide shade to avoid direct sunlight exposure. In winter, ensure temperatures do not drop below 30°F.

Soil/Watering: Choose well-draining soil, preferably a mix of soil, loam, coconut coir, perlite, or clay pellets. Water should be used using the dry and soak watering method, and waterlogging should be avoided.

Pot: Use pots with drainage holes to maintain soil dryness. Opting for pots with legs and drainage holes provides better ventilation for the roots.

Propagation: You can propagate it using stem cuttings. Select healthy stems, sterilize scissors, cut, and let the wounds dry before inserting them into dry soil to wait for rooting.

Fertilization: It thrives with occasional fertilization. Apply a thin application of a compound fertilizer containing a variety of micronutrients every other month during the growing season in the spring and fall.

Winter shipping

We insist on shipping succulents to our customers all year round. However due to the extreme winter weather, although we pack succulents with as much protective material as possible, plants are still at increased risk of frost on their way to colder areas. We highly recommend adding one 72-hour heat pack to your order or you can request a hold on the package until it warms up.

Please note that The Next Gardener is not responsible for packages that suffer cold damage without a heat pack. We cannot control the weather. Order at your own risk.

Hawaii, Alaska, and Other US Territories

Fortunately, shipping is available to Alaska, Guam, and other U.S. Territories. However, due to numerous factors beyond our control, including customs checks and shipping delays, free shipping to Hawaii and Puerto Rico is not an option. And we can not provide the 14-day quality guarantee for orders going to Hawaii and Puerto Rico. The buyer will assume all risk of damage when a delivery is delayed. We appreciate your understanding.
