Crassula--Jade Plant
Type: House Plant
Comments: The plants in this group are succulents. They
grow best in high light but some tolerate lower light
intensity. A well-drained soil is essential. Keep the
soil moist when the plants are growing but drier during
rest periods. Do not let temperatures drop below 45
degrees. If repotting is necessary do it as new growth
commences. Allow the soil to become quite dry after
repotting.
Propagation: Propagation is by stem cuttings taken in
spring or summer. Use the previous season's growth and
allow the cuttings to dry in air for several days. Insert
the cuttings in the medium only as far as needed to hold
them in place. Leaf cuttings may be used but the
resulting plants will be smaller.
