Crassula ovata

Crassula ovata, the Jade Plant, develops a thick, woody trunk and branching structure over time, topped with plump, oval, glossy green leaves that store water and give the plant its satisfying, substantial feel. It is slow-growing and remarkably undemanding. Older specimens develop a gnarled, bonsai-like character that makes them genuinely impressive houseplants. One of the most forgiving succulents you can grow indoors.

Origins
Native to South Africa and Mozambique, Crassula ovata grows in dry, rocky habitats where it tolerates drought, heat, and poor soils. Its thick leaves and woody stems are adaptations for water storage in arid conditions.
