Crassula ovata
The perfect plant for travelers and minimalists. It does best with a lot of sun and little attention. Only requiring waterings once in a while, this plant is great for those with busy schedules. It's also said to bring good luck, so its also great for beginners.
Bright indirect light mixed with direct exposure is ideal.
SM: ~6" tall and a 4" pot.
MD: ~8" tall and a 6" pot.
Pro-tip: Regular pruning will result in thicker stems and compact growth. Cut within a quarter inch of another leaf or branch.

I’m not sure if this particular plant didn’t like the journey to my state (which is entirely possible), but she was a bit floppy when she got here. The winter heat pack makes the box a bit sweaty during shipping, so I thought maybe the soil had absorbed a bunch of water from condensation and the plant was a bit on the water-logged side. I was concerned that the roots would begin to rot, so I repotted sooner than you’re supposed to. She seems to be okay in a terracotta pot, so I hopefully avoided any permanent damage.

It’s a nice plant but it arrived a bit elongated so I cut those parts off and propagated them. I’m hoping with some time and more sunlight it’ll get to the nice bright green in the picture!
