The Crassula Ovata (Sunset Jade) is a stunning variety of the classic Jade Plant, known for its striking foliage and easy-care nature. Growing in a 4-inch pot, the Sunset Jade boasts fleshy, oval-shaped leaves that transition to a beautiful reddish-golden hue along the edges, especially when exposed to bright sunlight.
