Description
Botanical name: Crassula argentea, Crassula ovata
Light needs: Full sun, Part sun
Preferred soil type: Sandy
Water needs: Not as drought-tolerant as other succulent species, Jade likes moist soil—not wet, because you don’t want root rot—during the growing season (spring and summer), drier soil during the dormant season (fall and winter).
Soil pH: Neutral
Cold hardiness: If you keep Jade on your porch or patio, make sure it gets to come inside when it gets 50 degrees Fahrenheit or cooler. Jade has many talents, but cold hardiness is not one of them.
