Care and Propagation Information
Ripple Jade is an ideal succulent for any interior, boasting white blooms in the Spring. When the plant is at its happiest, the foliage’s edges display a vibrant red hue.
Watering
Crassula arborescens undulatifolia requires the typical amount of water for a succulent. The best way to achieve this is to use the “soak and dry” method, where the soil is allowed to fully dry out between waterings.
Where to Plant
“Ripple Jade” can grow well indoors if it is given enough light. Place it close to a south-facing window to give it the most sunshine possible. If you choose to plant it outside, make sure it is in a spot where it will be exposed to direct sunlight for most of the day.
How to Propagate Crassula arborescens undulatifolia “Ripple Jade”
Ripple Jade, a type of Crassula arborescens undulatifolia, can be grown from cuttings, either leaves or sections of the plant.
Leaves
To propagate a leaf, carefully twist it away from the stem until it comes off cleanly. Make sure that no part of the leaf remains attached to the stem – this will improve the chances of successful propagation.
Wait a couple of days for the leaf to form a protective layer before positioning it in soil that drains well.
Offsets
Cut off the small rosette offsets from the stem of a “Ripple Jade” plant with a clean, sharp knife or scissors. Let the offsets dry out for a period of one to two days before placing them on soil that allows for good drainage.
