Upon arrival, inspect the roots and remove any damaged or dried sections. Plant in a pot with drainage holes using a well-draining succulent or cactus mix. Position the plant so the roots are spread out and the base of the stem sits at soil level. Water thoroughly after planting, then allow the soil to dry completely before watering again. Place in a location with bright light, such as a south- or west-facing window. During the growing season (spring and summer), water when the top inch of soil is dry. Reduce watering in winter to prevent root rot. Fertilize sparingly with a balanced succulent fertilizer during active growth. With proper care, this Dwarf Jade Plant will thrive and may reward you with small, star-shaped flowers in late winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne (1) Dwarf Jade Plant (Crassula ovata 'Crosby's Compact') shipped as an 8-inch bare-root plant.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67776113606966,"sku":"FOLIA-114","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6717323273_e8w9.jpg?v=1792467750","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/dwarf-jade-plant-8-crassula-ovata-crosbys-compact-succulent-bare-root","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
