Crassula (Pygmyweeds)
Crassula plants, also called Pygmyweeds or Jade Plants, give you clean forms and steady growth. You get firm leaves that store water. This makes care easy. Place your Crassula in bright light. Turn the pot once a week so the plant grows straight. Water when the soil feels dry. Keep the pot small so the roots stay firm. Wipe the leaves when dust builds.
You can place Crassula outside in the UK during warm summer months. Choose a dry spot with light shade. The small flowers can draw bees. This gives local pollinators a simple food source. Bring the plant back inside when nights fall near 10°C.
Crassula suits you if you want a plant that stays neat. You get clear lines and slow growth. It works well on desks and shelves. It also fits busy homes that need low care plants.
