Crassula is a genus of succulent plants in the family Crassulaceae with over 200 species, most native to South Africa and Namibia. The genus is best known for C. ovata (Jade Plant or Money Plant), which develops a thick woody trunk and rounded, glossy leaves, and is widely regarded as a symbol of good fortune. Other species range from miniature cushion-forming plants to tall shrubs. Growth is generally slow, and container-grown specimens typically reach 10–60 cm, though large species can exceed 1 m. Crassulas prefer well-draining soil and bright light to full sun, tolerating dry conditions readily with watering needed only two to three times per month. Most species overwinter successfully above 5°C. Propagation by stem or leaf cuttings is easy, and mature plants are exceptionally long-lived.
