Crassula ovata 'Compacta' (Compact Jade Plant)

Crassula ovata 'Compacta' (Compact Jade Plant) is a popular succulent cultivar valued for its dense, compact growth habit and attractive, glossy green leaves. This slow-growing variety features smaller, tightly-packed leaves than the standard Jade Plant, giving it a neat, bonsai-like appearance. The leaves often develop red edges when exposed to bright light, adding to its ornamental appeal. Like its parent species, it may produce small white or pink star-shaped flowers under ideal conditions.

Ideal for containers, rockeries, and indoor gardens, 'Compacta' thrives in well-drained succulent mix and prefers bright light. It is highly drought-tolerant and requires minimal care, making it perfect for beginners and busy gardeners. This low-maintenance succulent is particularly valued for its sculptural form, adaptability to indoor conditions, and ability to thrive with neglect.
