Plant Growing Tips

Where to Grow

Crassula Ovata, commonly known as Oval Leaf Jade, thrives in bright, indirect light but can also tolerate some direct sunlight. It is perfect for indoor settings near windows with plenty of light or outdoor areas that provide partial shade to protect it from intense afternoon sun.

Climate

This plant prefers warm, dry conditions similar to its native habitat. It grows best in temperatures between 18°C and 24°C. Protect it from cold drafts and temperatures below 10°C, as it is not frost-tolerant.

Soil Type

Plant the Oval Leaf Jade in well-draining soil. A cactus or succulent potting mix with added sand or perlite ensures proper drainage and prevents water retention, which can lead to root rot.

Fertilizer

Feed the plant with a balanced, water-soluble fertiliser every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Use a diluted fertiliser to half strength to avoid over-fertilising, which can harm the plant.
