Crassula ovata 'Crosby's Compact' (Jade Plant) Houseplant Care — 231 of 365
This may very well be one of the most iconic succulents out there. Everyone has at least one, two or three jade plants in their home, and I thought it wise to …
Summer is it ok to use springtails in your houseplants????
Ah! Thank you for explaning the crystals! I never quite got what this was and I threw out 2 Crassula because of that! Is there a remidy or can one help the plant when this happens? I tried switching to distilled water and less watering but in the end, it just looked like it had mites and was dead.
Oh my one of my favorite jades, and one I don't have yet, but as soon as I find one I will be adding this to my collection, I love how when you give it more light it reddins on the tips of the leaves which I find so pretty, I love a classic plant and this one is a classic. Thanks you again summer, this series has been so amazing and sometimes an eye opener for learning about so many wonderful plants. See you tomorrow, bye for now.
One of my favorites, especially when they get old and woody stems. Then they look like a bonsai tree. I lost mine to horrible mealy bugs though 🙁
I've got a few cutting of this and I'm even trying to root a bit in water which seems to be working
Hi Summer, I have a huge Crassula that was my grandmothers and it’s over 100 years old. I’m so scared of killing it, and it keeps shedding leaves and tips a lot, do you know why that could be? Thank you.
These are definitely one of my favorites! Thank you for shairng. I have a few of them now and love how they grow🌸
I had a beautiful – and fairly good sized – jade plant when I was in high school back in the ‘80s, but it didn’t last very long. Got leggy – in spite of being grown in sunny Phoenix, Arizona – and then developed rot even though I was always careful not to overwater it.
I kinda gave up on them after that.
Its Crosby's compacta and that looks like Minima, compacta has more red and slightly larger. ovata does not like full sun, just very bright light; full sun roasts them. Last thing leaf cuttings will produce basic ovata, you need stem cuttings to produce cultivars.
Got the regular version in my room. Grown quite large and healthy. Took me some time to figure out how much water it likes. We use old aquarium water for food 🙂
I just haven’t had good luck with jades. I have a small one now that I’ve managed to keep alive for about a year & a half… struggling to find the balance of water & light to make it happy enough to get massive… fingers crossed the third plant is the charm. I hope I can have one worthy of passing down to future generations!
My poor Jade plant. No wonder it's doing so poorly, I'm doing everything wrong! 😔Seriously going to change the location and quit drowning it. Here's hoping. Thank you for all your hard work, Summer; you are amazing! 😁
Im receiving my aunts 50 year old jade tree talk about anxiety im scared to kill it
I still don't have this plant. Hopefully some day I'll get one! I heard they are easy to care for. 🌿👍🌿
I have several crassulas grown from tip cuttings and I have the problem with all of them that they grow quite fast, get big leaves fast and grow kind of leggy upwards, I have to support them with long wooden sticks, otherwise they just tip over and literally fall out of their pots since they only have tiny roots… what am I doing wrong, how can I save them? I thought maybe I water too much, but when I water less, their leaves start to dry out from the tips and get crusty. Any hints much appreciated!
Omg 😱 I tried to save mine she drop over 20 leaf 🍂 and it just drop a branch . It so difficult to keep it together ,thank you for this video that cover my issue on the right time
My mother has one that's over twenty yrs old! ^_^ She keeps it outdoors in a large pot and always brings it inside during the cold nights or places a blanket on it. <3
In a world of $400 exotic mutant aroids sometimes it's nice just to see the classics!
I had a Crosby's Compact and appreciated the smaller stature. Had to leave it behind when I moved years ago. Nice plant, though.
I think that the jade plant is one of the most beautiful of all foliage house plants! And they are very long lived which is always a plus in my opinion! This is one which can easily become a treasured member of anyone's family! 👍
I have a jade plant I love. About 4 leaves had this brownish spot on them. I pulled off those leaves. Any idea what it was? I have my plant in a sw facing window and it likes it.
Leaf cuttings take much longer, true, but they'll also turn into nice plants. I have tons of these in my garden. They're native here (South Africa). Thanks for another nice video!
You know what I watch her each and every video and she is pretty much beautiful like elegant plants . I love her cuz she loves plants like me. And my sister like her hairstyles.
I got this ❤️
