**Care Guide for Crassula ovata (Jade Plant)**
☀️Light
Crassula ovata thrives in bright light and can tolerate some direct sunlight. A sunny windowsill or a spot with several hours of indirect light each day is ideal. Insufficient light can cause leggy growth and leaf drop.
💧Water
Water thoroughly when the soil is completely dry. During the growing season, this may mean watering every couple of weeks. In winter, reduce watering significantly. Overwatering is the most common cause of problems and should be avoided.
🪴Repotting
Repot every 2 to 3 years or when the plant outgrows its container. Use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix. Choose a pot with drainage holes to prevent water from pooling around the roots.
🌱Tips
Keep the plant in a stable, warm environment and protect it from frost. Remove any fallen leaves to avoid rot. Occasionally wipe the leaves to keep them free from dust, and inspect for mealybugs or scale. Prune lightly to maintain shape and encourage branching.
