The jade plant is a popular succulent houseplant with fleshy, oval-shaped leaves and thick, woody stems that resemble tiny tree trunks. They have reddish-brown stems with glossy green leaves. They start out as a small bush and eventually. The stem gets thicker over time as the plant matures. With their thick, woody stems and oval-shaped leaves, jade plants have a miniature, tree-like appearance that makes them very appealing for use as a decorative houseplant.
They live for a very long time, often being passed down from generation to generation and reaching heights of three feet or more when grown indoors. They grow upright horizontally but can also spread out laterally and sprawl or hang, which makes them a great choice for hanging baskets. Portulacaria afra is a perfect addition to your indoor or outdoor succulent garden.
