Good to Know

The foliage colour of Crassula ovata can vary depending on light, season and growing conditions. Plants receiving brighter light may develop stronger red or burgundy colouring around the leaf edges.

As the plant matures, the stems gradually become thicker and more woody, creating the characteristic miniature tree-like appearance Jade Plants are known for.

The succulent plant housed in the black pot comes in a 85mm diameter container. While the image provides a representative depiction of what you will receive, but may vary slightly because no two succulents are the same.
