This Jade is also used for bonsais and is native to South Africa. It can grow into a softly woody, sprawling shrub or small (~4m) tree if not trimmed, and can grow very fast in good conditions. The small leaf jade has smaller leaves than the Crassula ovata (as its name implies) and thus can be trimmed more intricately as a bonsai. It does need protection from freezing in the winter, and can bloom small star-shaped pink to purple flowers.
Care tips:
- Drown with water once every 1-2 weeks.
- Grows well in full sun to light shade (loves bright warm windows such as those facing south
