Plant/Product Description:
Crassula undulatifolia, commonly known as Ripple Jade, is a striking succulent that features uniquely wavy, jade-colored leaves. The leaves are thick, fleshy, and have a pronounced ripple effect along their edges, giving the plant its distinctive appearance. This slow-growing, compact succulent forms rosettes and is an excellent addition to containers, hanging baskets, or succulent arrangements.

Its ease of care and eye-catching foliage make it a great choice for both novice and experienced gardeners.

Plant Care Notes:

• Sunlight: Prefers bright, indirect light to full sun. Full sun enhances the color and vibrancy of the leaves.
• Watering: Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot.
• Soil: Requires a well-draining cactus or succulent mix with added perlite or pumice for optimal drainage.
• Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 70°F and 85°F (21°C to 29°C). It is not frost-tolerant and should be protected from freezing temperatures.
• Dormancy: Crassula undulatifolia is generally summer dormant, requiring less water during the hotter months when growth slows.
• Propagation: Easily propagated by leaf or stem cuttings. Allow the cut ends to callous before replanting in well-draining soil.
• Pests: Generally pest-resistant but may occasionally attract mealybugs or aphids. Regular inspections help maintain plant health.

Toxicity:
Crassula undulatifolia is non-toxic to humans and pets, making it a safe addition to homes and gardens.
