The jade plant, also known as Crassulaovata, is an easy to grow dicot foliage plant with thick waxy oval leaves that are opposite and spoon-shaped without petioles. It has thick green stems that look woody when older, small white flowers with pink stars in winter, and should be watered infrequently allowing the soil to dry well between waterings while placed in a south-facing window with adequate drainage to avoid overwatering issues.
