Highlights
Crassula 'Moonglow': A stemmed variety with fleshy, stacked leaves of silvery green that are covered in a layer of fine velvet. This slow grower makes a great houseplant and can eventually reach 8.0" tall. It is thought to be a hybrid of C. deceptor arta x C. perfoliata falcata. Though not a predictable bloomer, 'Moonglow' can flower in late winter with clusters of tiny pink blossoms.
Please Note: This can be a tricky plant to grow as it is very susceptible to overwatering and powdery mildew.
Soft succulents will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. They need bright sunlight, great drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again.

We like to be on the safe side when we give pet safe recommendations so we don't call Crassula pet safe. Some plants from that genus certainly are safe, others are not. Which plants specifically are safe has not been tested very extensively so we don't call Crassula pet safe.
A pet safe alternative to Crassula 'Moonglow' would be Haworthia cuspidata. It's not a perfect replica, but it has a similar, charming stacked leaf look.

Certainly hard water stains are a possibility. Crassula, especially, like to hold water between their leaves which evaporates and leaves behind a white, powdery substance. However, It could also be powdery mildew, a fungal based disease that makes a similar looking powder. Even if it turns out to be powdery mildew, don't fear. That disease is easy to treat.

We want to first preface this by saying that bonsai is an art form. How you decide to shape or trim your bonsai is up to you and will be informed by how you want your plant to look.
First, plant the Jade Plant in a shallow pot, about 3"-4" deep, that has a drainage hole. We highly recommend using this Bonsai Jack Gritty Mix as soil. Aim to grow it in partial sun. Only water if the soil is completely dry and the leaves feel flexible. When you do water, deeply drench it until water runs out the pot's drainage hole. Potentially, support the main stem with a skewer.
After about a year in the shallow pot, it's time for the first trim. It's preferable to trim in the spring when your plant is actively growing. Be very aggressive with your pruning. What you're looking for with your first trim is, essentially, to turn your plant into a twig. You'll remove most of the foliage, just be careful not to remove it all. Wherever you prune, the plant will fill that spot with even more foliage. Use this to your advantage by heavily… See full answer »

As far as the Jade Plants we sell are concerned, they can all be grown indoors.
Crassula watering is pretty normal for succulents. Soak the soil and then don't water it again until the soil totally dries out and the leaves just start to feel flexible. No need to water much in winter. These plants are very forgiving and shouldn't give you any trouble. I hope this helps!

Succulents are adapted to dry environments so they tend to succumb to rot in enclosed, non-draining terrariums. It is challenging but possible to grow them in open terrariums. You can find tips to make it work at the link below.

We do not list any Crassula as pet safe because some species have been shown to cause mild digestive distress when ingested. You can find all of our pet safe succulents at the link below.

Crassula ovata Jade Plants can cause some digestive issues when consumed, so to be on the conservative side, we do not consider any Crassula to be pet-safe.
