Jade Succulents

There are many varieties of Jade, all of which are now available at our Irvine location. Some varities like, Hobbit & Gollum, are great for bonsai plants and container gardners because of their overall size(3′), while the tradional Crassula Ovata “Jade” can grow quiet tall(6’+). The two variegated varieties “Oblique” and “Hummels Sunset” have similar leaf structure to the traditional Jade, but don’t grow with the same vigor. We have also found increasing success using these plants in lower light condidtions, making them ideal for house plant arrangements, just be carefull not to overwater them!
