Description

Crassula Ovata Compacta is superstar grower whether kept indoors as a potted plant or grown outside as a dense, mounding shrub. Its shiny leaves sprout from thick branches and can flush red at the edges when exposed to direct sun. It grows en masse on rocky slopes, reaching up to 8" tall. Indoor growing, small pots, and pruning will keep sweet Baby Jade in a small, bonsai size. It is a dwarf succulent, up to 30 inches (75 cm) tall and up to 20 inches (50 cm) wide. The leaves are thick, fleshy, glossy and green with reddish edges. The trunk and branches are thick. Flowers are coral-pink in color.

Environment

Crassula Ovata Compacta 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 overwatering.

Landscape Use

It can be used as an ornamental plant.

Most succulents need to be watered twice a week during summers and only once in monsoon & winters. Varieties like Haworthias, Crassulas and Gasterias are well suited for low-light indoors and window-sills. If the leaves get too bulky, it is a sign of overwatering & if the leaves look shrivelled it is a sign of less watering.

As a general rule of thumb, all the ones with colourful leaves like Echeverias, Sedeveria and Graptopetalum like bright sunlight and semi shade in extreme summers. They cannot be kept indoors or in full shade. All succulents love morning sun.

You can fertilise your succulent once a month.

Watering tips : Make sure NOT to water on the plant itself. Water directly in the soil. You can use a cup or a glass to make sure the water does not spray on leaves. When watering, make sure water comes out of the drainage hole.
