Crassula ovata, commonly known as Jade Plant is a succulent plant, native to South Africa and it is one of the most popular houseplants grown worldwide.
But Jade Plant is more than just a pretty plant. In South Africa it is used by the natives as a treatment for nausea and as a vermifuge, to treat epilepsy, diarrhea, cuts, sore, warts, corns, and to purge the intestines.
For cuts and sores the leaves have to be cut in half and put on the sore and put a plaster over it. Redress morning and afternoon. It help for the pain as well. Like a local anesthetic.
Slice a leaf in half and attach the moist inside to the wart for a few hours, or overnight. The unsightly growth should fall off with just three applications.
In Africa leaves are boiled in milk and consumed to stop diarrhea.

Jade Plant (Crassula ovata) is recommended for warts in folk medicine. A leaf is cut open and the moist flesh is bound over the wart for a series of days. If the treatment is successful, the wart falls off after prolonged exposure.
Jade Plant is also used as a treatment for nausea, and in Africa it is used to treat epilepsy, corns, diarrhea, and to purge the intestines. The Khoi and other Africans used the roots for food, grated and cooked, eaten with thick milk. They also used the leaves for medicinal purposes. The leaves were boiled in milk and used to treat epilepsy and corns, as a purgative and as a remedy for diarrhea.
The Feng Shui masters believe that Jade Plants have calming effects.

Jade Plant (Crassula ovata) is a succulent native to South Africa, now a familiar garden and houseplant around the world, largely due to how easy it is to care for. It is tolerant of poor sandy soil, prefers to be root bound in a pot and doesn’t need too much watering. With minimal care, these plants can live for decades. Only in regions where the temperatures are extreme, do you even have to worry about the temperature in which to keep your Jade Plant. Jade Plants actually need some exposure to cooler temperatures in the winter to thrive.
Hardy Zones
Jade Plant is considered hardy in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 10 and 11, with temperature ranges of 30 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit (-1 to 10 degrees Celsius) in the winter. Throughout much of the West Coast and southern states, the Jade Plant can live outdoors even in the winter.
Best Temperatures
Jade Plants will tolerate lower temperatures and even prefer the lower temperatures of about 45 to 55 degrees Fahrenheit (7 to 13 degrees Celsius) in the winter.
Cold Temperature Damage
If exposed to frost or low temperatures for too long, your Jade Plant may appear limp. If this occurs, you may just need to wait and see if the plant revives. Cut back any stems that turn black or appear rotted. Don’t be tempted to overwater the plant to revive it. Let the soil dry out before watering. Bring it indoors into a room that gets good ambient sunlight.
Protection from Cold Temperatures
If you live in an area where temperatures regularly drop below 45 degrees Fahrenheit (7 degrees Celsius), you should keep your Jade Plant in a pot and bring it indoors for the winter. You can move it back outdoors in the spring when temperatures are regularly above 45 degrees Fahrenheit (7 degrees Celsius). If you live in a region where temperatures only sometimes drop too low for your Jade Plant, then it will probably be fine outdoors with some protection from frost, such as bringing it onto a covered patio, covering it with cloth, or stringing Christmas lights onto the plant.

El género Crassula incluye alrededor de 300 especies y muchas variedades de plantas suculentas, la mayoría de las cuales tienen su origen en el sur de África, pero también en Asia y Madagascar. Muy fáciles de encontrar en los centros de horticultura y jardinería, estas plantas le sorprenderán con sus diferenciados aspectos desde las variedades más pequeñas hasta las arborescentes de gran porte, pero todas ellas con follajes muy ornamentales. Las grandes variedades como la famosa Crassula arborescens o nombres menos conocidos como la Crassula ovata , también llamada “Jade”, pueden alcanzar casi 2,5 metros de altura en condiciones ideales.
Otras son auténticas joyas, que dispuestas en interior en una maceta sobre un mueble, sorprenderá a sus invitados. Entre ellas se encuentran la Crassula Deceptor con sus extrañas y redondeadas hojas grises o la Crassula pyramidalis con su follaje dispuesto geométricamente formando una pirámide regular.
Ideales para comenzar una colección sin preocupaciones, estas suculentas altamente resistentes se cultivaran en interior en un lugar luminoso y usaremos una mezcla que consiste en una parte de sustrato y una parte de arena de río. Se les debe procurar un buen drenaje colocando bolas de arcilla o grava en el fondo de la maceta para evitar el estancamiento de agua en las raíces, que siempre es perjudicial.
Desde la primavera hasta el verano, el riego debe ser regular y abundante. En otoño, mejor regar con moderación y dejar que la tierra se seque casi por completo entre riegos. En invierno las crasuláceas situadas en interior tendrán suficiente con un riego mensual, siempre que las tengamos en una habitación no demasiado caliente. Una vez pase el peligro de heladas se pueden sacar los tiestos al exterior, sombra parcial al principio y acostumbrándolas poco a poco al sol para evitar que se quemen. La reproducción por esquejes es muy fácil y exitosa con este género de plantas.

#梦椿 (Crassula pubescens ssp.pubescens)是一种景天科(Crassulaceae)青锁龙属(Crassula)的多肉植物。草本,矮小,匍匐,易群生,株型紧凑,因其毛茸茸的外貌十分惹人怜爱,缺光或温差小的时候会变得很绿而且会徒长,后经太阳的洗礼会变得黑红。这么漂亮、可爱的多肉植物我们需要掌握怎么预防病虫害。
梦椿的虫害以介壳虫为主,从花市等地买来的植株80%以上根部有介壳虫。初期虫害常见于根部或植株中心处,发现虫害后需立即与其他植物隔离,剪掉滋生介壳虫的根部,可于患处喷洒护花神或灌根杀灭(百菌清、多菌灵等杀菌剂不具有杀虫功效)。彻底杀灭介壳虫可能需要数个周,预防可于配土中混入少量呋喃丹或土虫丹。
常见病害以植株黑腐为主(即植株部位变黑并腐烂,多见于根部),多发于夏季,通常是由于通风条件差和高湿高温的环境所致,但有时也可能由介壳虫导致。发现后需迅速与其他植物隔离,初期可将腐烂的部位彻底剪去,可在切口处涂抹少许杀菌剂(百菌清、多菌灵等),切口晾干后插入疏松的沙土中即可重新生根。若黑腐已经蔓延到植株生长点即可视为死亡,尽早丢弃以防传染。其他病害(烟煤病等)可通过喷施稀释过的百菌清、多菌灵等杀菌剂治疗。预防可于配土中混入少许百菌清、多菌灵等杀菌剂。

Scientific Name
Crassula ovata (Miller) Druce
Common Names
Money Tree, Money Plant, Jade Plant, Jade Tree, Friendship Tree, Lucky Plant, Dollar Plant, Pink Joy
Synonyms
Crassula argentea, Crassula portulacea, Crassula obliqua, Crassula articulata, Crassula nitida, Crassula lucens, Cotyledon ovata, Cotyledon lutea, Toelkenia ovata
Scientific Classification
Family: Crassulaceae
Subfamily: Crassuloideae
Genus: Crassula
Flower
Color: White to pink
Bloom Time: Spring
Description
Crassula ovata is a large well-branched, compact, rounded, evergreen shrub, 3 – 6 feet (90 – 180 cm) tall with glossy, dark grey-green, oval, succulent leaves and rounded heads of white to pink star-shaped flowers in early spring. The stem is stout and gnarled and gives the impression of great age, and its branches are also short and stubby but well-proportioned. Branches are succulent, grey-green in color and in older specimens the bark peels in horizontal brownish strips. The leaves are up to 2 inches (50 mm) long and up to 1 1/2 inches (38 mm) wide, egg-shaped to elliptic, often with a red margin and a somewhat pointed end. They are in opposite pairs, the one pair arranged at right angles to the next, and they are clustered towards the ends of the branches.
How to Grow and Care
Easy to grow in container, best in full sun but will tolerate part sun. It need well-drained soil with a neutral pH. Water regularly form spring to autumn and allow soil to dry out before watering again. During the winter months, water only enough to keep the leaves from shriveling. Most common reason for failure is overwatering.
Propagating is achieved with leaf or stem cuttings which are placed into a soil mix, then wait until they show some growth. Before placing them in soil mix you will prevent potential problems from the sap seeping out by allowing them to dry on a windowsill, for a few days or so.

Scientific Name
Crassula ‘Morgan’s Beauty’
Common Names
Morgan’s Beauty
Synonyms
Crassula ‘Morgan’s Pink’
Scientific Classification
Family: Crassulaceae
Subfamily: Crassuloideae
Genus: Crassula
Flower
Color: Pinkish
Bloom Time: Winter to spring
Description
Crassula ‘Morgan’s Beauty’ is a compact succulent plant, perfect for small plant containers. Grows up to 4 inches (10 cm) in height and up to 4 inches (10 cm) wide. It has large, thick, flat, silvery-green leaves with a blush of blue and pink. The flowers are pinkish and grow in small, short-stemmed clusters. It blooms in winter to spring, but may also occur other times of year.
How to Grow and Care
Crassula are easy to grow, but they are susceptible to mealy bugs and fungal diseases. As with all succulents, overwatering is sure to be fatal, so err on the side of too dry rather than too wet. Never let your Crassula sit in water. If you water from beneath by letting the plant sit in a saucer of water, make sure to pour off any excess water after a few minutes.
Repot as needed, preferably during the warm season. To repot a succulent, make sure the soil is dry before repotting, then gently remove the pot. Knock away the old soil from the roots, making sure to remove any rotted or dead roots in the process. Treat any cuts with a fungicide. Place the plant in its new pot and backfill with potting soil, spreading the roots out as you repot. Leave the plant dry for a week or so, then begin to water lightly to reduce the risk of root rot.
Crassula are generally started by division, offsets or leaf cuttings.
Origin
Hybrid of Crassula falcata and Crassula mesembrianthemopsis.

Crassula ovata, commonly called Jade Plant, is among the most common houseplants, although they are hardy outdoors to United States Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 10 and 11. Native to southern Africa, this plant is easily recognized by its smooth, stubby, succulent leaves. They propagate easily from cuttings and because they are so tolerant of neglect, newly propagated Jade Plants make excellent gifts for new gardeners.
Take a cutting approximately 3 inches (7.5 cm) long from a stem of a mature Jade Plant. You can take multiple cuttings if you wish to propagate more than one plant. Each cutting should have at least two good sets of leaves.
Remove the bottom set of leaves from each cutting. Jade Plant leaves grow in pairs opposite each other on the stem.
Set the cuttings out to dry overnight to allow the cut ends of the plant to callous, reducing the chance of decay when planted in soil.
Dip the leaf nodes and cut ends into a rooting hormone powder, if desired. Rooting hormone encourages roots to develop faster, but isn’t required to successfully propagate Jade Plants.
Plant the cuttings in a potting mixture with plenty of drainage so that the bottom leaf nodes are buried in the soil. A potting mix with peat moss provides good drainage, but some gardeners prefer to propagate Jade Plants in moist sand.
Water the cuttings frequently to keep the soil moist, but not wet. Succulents such as Jade Plants store water in their leaves and may perform poorly with too much water.
Transplant the cuttings after a few weeks when the plants begin to grow or substantial root growth occurs. The plant’s energy is channeled to root development, so growth above the soil usually doesn’t occur at all until healthy roots are established. If the plant appears to be growing above the soil, this is a good sign that roots are well established and it’s time to transplant the new Jade Plant into a larger container.
Warning
Jade Plants are potentially invasive outdoors if pieces of the plant fall into natural areas. In order to prevent this problem, only plant jade plants outdoors in a controlled planting bed in USDA zones 10 and 11 and properly dispose of all plant pieces as they fall off the plant.

Crassula ovata commonly known as Jade Plant, Money Plant, Dollar Plant, Friendship Tree, Pink Joy or Lucky Plant, is a succulent plant with small pink or white flowers. It is native to South Africa and Mozambique, and is one of the most popular houseplants grown worldwide.
Jade Plant is often touted as one of the easiest plants to work with. It can be propagated easily and grows relatively quickly. It is tolerant of different soil types, and can survive in soil that is wetter than normal for short periods of time. For propagation, soil should be extremely fertile, and conditioned for moderate to low soil acidity.
How Jade Propagates
Commonly, Jade Plant is propagated from cuttings. You can root leaf or stem pieces, but be warned that leaves will take considerably longer to show any appreciable growth. For best results, use stem pieces that are 3 to 5 inches (7.5 to 12.5 cm) long. Jade Plant is a great survivor, so long as the soil is rich and alive.
Rooting
For the Jade Plant, start clippings in a planter or flower pot that you can move. The plant will need direct sunlight for at least 6 hours of the day, and it will be important to maintain the soil moisture. These conditions are best met with a portable plant, so use a flower pot filled with sifted compost, and move it as needed to get adequate sunlight.
Rich Soil Encourages Root Growth
For the fastest development from clippings, use pure sifted compost. Increasing the level of nutrients in the soil will make it easier for the Jade Plant to get the things it needs to put on new leaves and grow strong roots.

A Jade Plant (Crassula ovata) can be a joy for years and years in your home, but after a while it will need repotting to allow the plant to continue to grow roots to support the ever larger branches and leaves. If left untended, a large Jade Plant is likely to tip over from becoming top heavy. To repot large Jade Plants be sure to have all of your supplies ready in early spring as the Jade Plant starts to show new growth.
Step 1: Spread out a layer of newspaper on the floor to catch dropped soil. If you can’t move your Jade Plant to an open area in your home, then move items around your plant out of the way so you have plenty of room to work around the plant.
Step 2: Place a large pot over the center of the newspaper. The new pot should be only 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7.5 cm) larger in diameter than the existing pot.
Step 3: Fill the bottom of the pot an inch (2.5 cm) deep with gravel to help aid in drainage. If you are worried about your plant tipping over, place a brick on top of the gravel to add more weight to the pot.
Step 4: Pour in succulent soil over the gravel and brick, if using one, to fill the bottom third of the pot. Carefully hold the base of the Jade Plant and lift it out of the pot it is in and place it in the center of the new larger pot.
Step 5: Make sure the top surface of the Jade Plant’s root ball is just slightly below the rim of the new pot. Lift the plant, if needed, to add or remove soil. With the Jade Plant positioned in the pot, fill in the surrounding areas with fresh soil until the pot is filled.
Step 6: Position the new pot in a sunny area and water the Jade Plant as you normally would for its weekly watering. The Jade Plant should not need to be repotted again for a number of years.
