{"product_id":"jade-plant-4-pot","title":"Jade Plant - 4\" Pot","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Jade Plant (Crassula ovata) is one of the most popular and forgiving succulents, grown for its thick, glossy, oval leaves and sturdy, tree-like branching habit. Native to South Africa, it is widely regarded as a symbol of good luck and prosperity, making it a favourite gift and Vastu plant in Indian homes. It stores water in its fleshy leaves, so it tolerates neglect and infrequent watering, thriving on bright windowsills, balconies and patios. Slow-growing and very long-lived, mature plants can be shaped into attractive bonsai-like specimens. Mildly toxic if eaten, so keep it away from curious pets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFamily\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCrassulaceae\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eNative region\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSouth Africa\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMature height\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.6-1.5 m (in pots)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMature spread\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.5-1 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eGrowth rate\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSlow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFoliage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEvergreen, thick glossy oval succulent leaves\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFlower colour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite to pink\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFlower season\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWinter (mature plants)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eClimate zone\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSubtropical to arid\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSunlight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBright light to full sun; 4-6 hours of sun ideal.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWatering\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWater only when soil is dry; soak then dry; reduce in winter.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSoil \/ mix\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGritty, fast-draining cactus\/succulent mix.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTemperature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBest at 18-30C; protect below 7C.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eHumidity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLow; dislikes high humidity and damp.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFertilizer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDilute succulent feed 2-3 times in growing season.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePruning\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePinch and prune to shape; encourages bushiness.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eRepotting\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEvery 2-3 years in a slightly larger pot.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePropagation\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVery easy from leaf or stem cuttings.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePests \u0026amp; problems\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWatch for mealybugs and occasional scale.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eToxicity \/ safety\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMildly toxic to cats and dogs if ingested.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDifficulty\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEasy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eUses\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA classic indoor and balcony succulent for sunny windowsills, desks and patios; popular as a good-luck gift and trained into attractive bonsai-style specimens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrow in a gritty, fast-draining mix and water sparingly, especially during the Indian monsoon when overwatering causes rot.

Water much less in winter and during the humid monsoon to prevent rot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow much light does it need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt loves bright light and does best with four to six hours of sun. A sunny windowsill or balcony keeps it compact with firm, colourful leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the Jade Plant safe for pets?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo, it is mildly toxic to cats and dogs if eaten and can cause vomiting and lethargy. Keep it out of reach of pets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow do I propagate it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVery easily. Let a leaf or stem cutting callus for a day or two, then place it on or in dry succulent mix; it will root within a few weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy are the leaves wrinkling or dropping?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eShrivelled leaves often mean under-watering, while sudden leaf drop usually signals overwatering or root rot. Adjust watering and check the roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I grow it indoors?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, it is a great indoor succulent provided it gets a bright spot with several hours of light; otherwise it grows leggy and weak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes it flower?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMature, well-lit plants can produce clusters of small white to pink star-shaped flowers in winter, though indoor plants flower less reliably.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat soil should I use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse a gritty, fast-draining cactus or succulent mix. Heavy, moisture-retentive soil leads to root rot in this water-storing plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy are the leaves turning red at the edges?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eReddish leaf edges are usually a healthy response to strong sun and are not harmful. Move it to slightly softer light if you prefer fully green leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat fertilizer should I use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeed with a diluted succulent or balanced fertilizer two to three times during the growing season; avoid feeding in winter.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vedicflora","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51048645230838,"sku":"PLT-JADEPLANT-P04-NA","price":50.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/4980\/6326\/files\/plant-crassula-ovata-jade-plant-big-leaf-succulent-plant-in-4-inch-10-cm-grower-round-black-pot-2-removebg-preview.jpg?v=1782711512","url":"https:\/\/vedicflora.com\/products\/jade-plant-4-pot","provider":"vedicflora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
