The Jade plant is a very popular houseplant because it is super easy to care for. Perfect for beginners or the forgetful gardener. They thrive in most indoor environments, making their lush green leaves a great addition to any home or office. Jade plants are a species of succulent plants in the genus Crassula (pronounced KRASS-oo-luh or KRASS-uh-luh) and family Crassulaceae (pronounced krass-yoo-LAY-see-ee).
Native to South Africa, there are about 200 species of jade plants and 1400-1500 Crassula varieties. Jade plant does not require much care, but if you treat it right, it can last a lifetime. You can train Jade plants into a Bonsai, and it can also grow into a large, beautiful bush. Many public and private places are decorated with Jade plants.
Crassula Ovata
The Crassula Ovata is the most common type of Jade Plant and is also known as The Money Tree, The Friendship Plant or the Lucky Jade. It was the original variety of the Jade Plant that was first discovered. One of the most popular varieties in circulation today and also the fastest growing of all the Ovata cultivars. They get their name from their meaty jade-green colored leaves that are usually tear-shaped, oval-shaped, or wedge-shaped.
Incredibly hardy and said to bring good fortune and luck according to the Feng Shui. When stressed the leaf tips can turn a pretty reddish pink. In winter look for cute pinkish white flowers. People consider it ideal for planting near coastal areas. It is also used as a divider or display in gardens when trimmed and shaped properly.
Crassula Arborescens
Crassula Arborescens (pronounced KRASS-yoo-luh ar-bore-ESS-enz) is commonly known as the Silver Dollar Jade, Blue Bird, or the Blue Buddha Bush, it is known for its silvery light blue leaves. The blue bird jade plant has more circular leaves than other common jade plants. It is a slow-growing plant, much slower than its cousin the crassula ovata. When exposed to more sun the edges leaves produce bright red to burgundy tips. The flowers that grow from its tips are long lasting and appear during the autumn-winter period. It can grow as a large bush outdoors or can be kept more small and compact in a container.

Love this video! I'm still trying to get the hang of caring for jades. They are a bit more difficult for me to grow compared to other succulents. I just recently got a crassula arborescense too! Thanks for the ID 😊

[@moodyblooms]

I feel like Jade is the easiest to grow. They take less water than most succulents. If you get the watering down then you will be golden! Good luck with your new one!

[@TheseSucculentBuddies]

Thanks so much for including portulacria afra! I was convinced I had a jade plant

[@moodyblooms]

Glad I could help!

[@SuperManning11]

Great info, thanks! One important thing to note as our climate warms…. I live in the desert SW (zone 9a) and it is important to know that the Crassula Ovata CANNOT take the prolonged heat of the summer months here! I learned the hard way when moving here from LA with a giant plant that I had had for many, many years growing outside. When I moved here it grew fine until temps were over 100ºF every day-after a couple of weeks it turned to mush and my 25 year old plant was reduced to a puddle in just a week or so. Portlacaria Afra, on the other hand, does fine and even thrives in very hot weather.

[@moodyblooms]

Thanks so much for sharing your experience. I love learning from you all as well! Sorry to hear about your beloved Crassula ovata 🥲

Thank you for an excellent guide to Jade plant varieties. We have one that we got as a tiny little thing around 30 years ago. Thanks to your tutor video, I now know it is a Gollum variety. The thing is about 5 feet tall with a trunk as large as lower leg. Basically has become a small tree. We've had it so long, I think I am inspired to propogate a few of them. Thanks again.
