Crassula ovata 'Coral' also known as the Coral Jade Plant or Gollum Jade, is a unique and popular succulent known for its distinctive appearance.
- Appearance: It has elongated, tubular, mid-green leaves that reach upwards, resembling fingers or coral. When exposed to sufficient sunlight, the tips of the leaves turn red, enhancing its coral-like look.
- Growth Habit: This cultivar forms a small, branched shrub that can grow into a substantial, tree-like form over time. Older branches develop a woody appearance with peeling bark.
- Flowering: When mature, it produces small, star-shaped flowers, typically white or pink, in clusters during the winter.
- Light Needs: Crassula ovata 'Coral' thrives in bright light, preferably with some direct sun exposure to bring out the red colouring at the leaf tips. It needs approximately 4 to 6 hours of bright light daily.
- Watering: Like other Jade plants, it's drought-tolerant and requires deep watering only when the soil is completely dry. It's important to reduce watering during the colder, dormant months.
- Soil: It prefers well-drained, sandy, or gritty potting compost.
- Care: This is a low-maintenance succulent, making it suitable for beginners.
- Propagation: It can be propagated from leaves or stem cuttings.
- Location: It makes an excellent indoor plant, especially near a sunny window, or a feature plant for a sunny windowsill or desk. In warmer climates, it can also be grown outdoors in full sun to partial shade.
- Feng Shui: Some sources suggest placing Crassula in the southeast or wealth sector of a home or office, or near the door or cash register, to increase good finances. Placing it in the east sector is said to bring health luck.
- Toxicity: While some sources claim that Jade plants are toxic to animals and mildly toxic to humans, this is unproven.
Overall, Crassula ovata 'Coral' is an attractive and easy-to-care-for succulent that adds a unique touch to any indoor or outdoor plant collection.
This plant is supplied in a 9cm pot and the plant is approximately 15cm tall, including the pot.
