Crassula is a large genus of plants containing many species, including the popular Jade Plant, Crassula ovata. They are native to many parts of the globe, but cultivated varieties are almost exclusively from the Eastern Cape of South Africa.

Crassulas are propagated by stem or leaf cuttings. Most will tolerate some small degree of frost, but extremes of cold or heat will cause them to lose foliage and die.
