Crassula ovata 'Lemon & Lime' is a stunning variegated form of the classic Jade Plant, prized for its glossy, plump leaves patterned with rich yellow patches on a deep green base — edged in a vivid blush of red that intensifies beautifully in bright sun. Each leaf is a little work of art, making this one of the most eye-catching Crassula varieties available.

Slow-growing and wonderfully long-lived, Lemon & Lime is as easy to care for as the classic Jade Plant but far more striking. It thrives in bright light, tolerates dry conditions with ease, and rewards minimal care with a bold, architectural presence that suits both indoor and outdoor spaces.

Overwatering is the most common cause of decline. • Soil: Use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix. • Growth: Slow-growing — develops into a beautiful shrubby form over time. • Variation: Variegation patterns are unique per plant and may vary slightly. • Delivery: Shipped with care for safe transit across South Africa.
