Crassula
Also called Pigmyweeds, Stonecrops, Lizard's Tails, Pygmyweeds
Crassula is a genus of about 200 succulent species in the stonecrop family, including the popular jade plant (Crassula ovata). Grow them like other succulents: bright light, dry soil between waterings, and protection from frost and extreme heat.
Crassula is a genus of succulent plants containing about 200 accepted species, including the popular jade plant (Crassula ovata). They are members of the stonecrop family (Crassulaceae) and are native to many parts of the globe, but cultivated varieties originate almost exclusively from species from the Eastern Cape of South Africa.
Crassulas are usually propagated by stem or leaf cuttings. Most cultivated forms will tolerate some small degree of frost, but extremes of cold or heat will cause them to lose foliage and die.
