The Jade Sunset Plant is a lovely variety of ovata succulent. Easy to care for, the warm yellow leaves and red tinged leaves relax the mood with a reminder of long lazy summer days.
In all other aspects Crassula Sunset behaves like a standard ovata: forming a miniature tree like structure, with branches and a thick trunk. This plant is also known as Crassula ovata Hummel’s Sunset.
Crassula ovata Sunset – Jade Sunset Plant Care & Info Guide
Horty Hints
Fast and furious! Ensure your Crassula has fast-draining soil as it will grow increasingly unhappy if left sitting in excess water.
Sitting pretty! Pop your Crassula on a windowsill or in a similarly brightly lit location so it can reap the full benefits of all that sunshine!
Pruned? If the leaves of your Crassula are beginning to thin, droop or wrinkle, it may be underwatered. However, make sure to allow enough time for the soil to dry out between waterings.
Light
Crassula ovata Sunset prefers bright, indirect sunlight, though a few hours of direct sunlight a day would not go amiss. It will tolerate some degree of shade but may appear less full and vibrant.
Watering
Jade Plants like to be well-watered. Allow the soil to dry out before watering again to avoid overwatering. Crassula do not like having their roots sitting in water.
Temperature
This plant will do well in average household temperatures: between 15-24°C. Make sure your ovata Sunset does not drop below 10°C.
Humidity
Crassula ovata prefer normal home humidity. They will tolerate higher levels of humidity and don’t mind being misted but this is not required.
Feed
A weak solution of liquid fertiliser once a month or so during the growing season.
Height & Growth Rate
Once established, ovata Sunset is slow-growing. Typically it will reach an ultimate height of around 1 metre.
Toxicity
This Jade Plant is known to be poisonous to pets, therefore keep away from animals.
Origin
