Ovata Minor, also known as Jade or Lucky Plant, is a succulent native to South Africa. This dwarf Jade offers fleshy ovate leaves on a thick, woody trunk with a shrubby, compact habit of 18-30" tall and up to 20" wide. This plant flourishes with minimal water in full sun or bright indirect light, with green leaves whose edges turn red in full sun. Evergreen in zone 9-11, Jade excels as a houseplant or overwintered indoors. Kept under cool, long nights during its dormant winter, Jade may bloom with white star-shaped flowers in spring. This plant brings attractive, low-maintenance foliage to sunny window sills or xeriscapes.
Ovata Minor Selling Tips

Ovate, fleshy leaves grow on a thick, woody trunk that reaches 30" tall and 20" wide at maturity.

Jade responds well to pruning and makes a low-maintenance bonsai plant, providing texture and visual interest to the landscape in zone 9-11 or any brightly lit indoor space. Try Ovata Variegata for a uniquely colored variety. Create striking contrast by planting this succulent alongside Aloe, Echeveria, Sedum, and Kalanchoe.
Coach Your Customer
1. Grow this plant indoors or overwinter containers indoors outside of zone 9-11.
2. Water deeply when the top 1-2 inches of soil are completely dry. It's better to underwater than overwater succulents, so err toward waiting a little too long.
3. Place indoor plants in a sunny window or bright indirect light. Too much intense afternoon sun can burn succulent leaves. Outdoors, grow this plant in partial or full sun.
General Growing Tips For Your Rooted Cutting Liner
For best results with Ovata Minor, plant one rooted liner per 4-inch container or three per gallon container. Use a well-drained soil with a pH of 6.5-7.0, EC of .25-.75, temperatures of 68-85 daytime and 58-75 nighttime, and light feed (75-125 ppm N). Maintain light intensity at 5,000-7,500 fc. Pinching may encourage branching but delay finish time. You may see aphids, mealybugs, and spider mites. This plant is only prone to fungal disease if it is overwatered.

This plant is primarily grown for its succulent foliage. It can produce white star-shaped flowers in spring.
Pinching

Planting Ovata Minor Liners

Before we take this relationship any further...
It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
