Crassula ovata Sunset- Golden Jade Tree or Hobbit Jade Plant Succulent in 12 cm pot

Pot size in cm: 12

Height in cm (approx): 20

Key Characteristics:

• Foliage:

  • The leaves of Crassula ovata 'Sunset' are thick, fleshy, and oval-shaped, typical of succulent plants. They are primarily bright green, with edges that turn golden-yellow and develop red tips when exposed to sufficient sunlight.
  • The coloration is more pronounced under bright light conditions, giving the plant a "sunset" effect, with its mix of green, yellow, and red hues.
  • The leaves are glossy and smooth, adding to the plant's overall appeal.

• Growth Habit:

  • This jade plant is a slow-growing, upright succulent that can eventually reach up to 3 to 4 feet (90 to 120 cm) in height, though it typically remains smaller when grown indoors.
  • The plant has a woody stem that becomes thicker and more tree-like with age, giving it a bonsai-like appearance.
  • The branches are sturdy and support the weight of the succulent leaves, making the plant look robust and well-formed.

• Flowers:

  • In late winter to early spring, Crassula ovata 'Sunset' may produce small, star-shaped white or pale pink flowers. These flowers grow in clusters at the ends of the branches.
  • The flowering is not as common indoors, but when it occurs, it adds a delicate touch to the plant's already attractive appearance.

• Light Requirements:

  • This plant thrives in bright, indirect light and can tolerate some direct sunlight. The more sunlight it receives, the more intense the yellow and red colors become.
  • In low light conditions, the plant may lose some of its vibrant coloration and become more green, and growth may slow.
