This is a very easy plant and does not require much care.
It won't do well if you over water; it is very drought tolerant.
It is a very compact plant that is considered to be a hybrid of C. x portulacea by some experts. (a supposed cross between Crassula argentea and C. lactea).
Leaves are tubular, trumpet shaped, each of them tipped with a "suction cup" and are glossy green in color with very light spotting usually with bright red leaf margins; the new growth is red.
Blooms are small, star-like, white or pinkish-white, with pink stamens.
Can be bothered by mealy bugs during the winter when it blooms.

I have not had any problems with this plant in any way.

I love this plant, as it is so easy to care for. It does well in full sun in my zone 8a covered porch, which does provide some shade from the late afternoon hot sun. It stays in its clay pot outdoors, unless freezing weather is predicted.

Monstrose version of the common jade, a shrubby succulent from South Africa, with succulent leaves that have little suction cups at the tips. This mutant, which may be confused with 'Hobbit' or 'Ogre Ears' or other cultivars, behaves like the regular jade, growing into a branchy shrub, with leaves that have red highlights in strong light, and whitish flowers in winter. It grows smaller and slower than the wild type, and does not flower in quite the same profusion. It is similarly easy in cultivation (given strong light and discipline with the water) and quite easy to start from cuttings.
