Crassula sarmentosa

Trailing jade

Also known as: Vining jade

Crassula sarmentosa. Available size and form may vary.

Serrated, fleshy green leaves line long stems that trail gracefully over a pot edge. Stronger light can bring yellowish tones and reddish leaf margins. This is a trailing crassula rather than the upright jade tree; small cream-white flowers may appear on established plants.

Pet safety

Cats & dogs: University of Tennessee Extension advises keeping Crassula plants away from pets that may chew them. Keep this trailing jade out of reach; the guide does not assess this species separately.

If a pet eats a potentially toxic plant, contact your veterinarian promptly.

Growing & care

Soil: Sandy, freely draining potting mix.
Pruning: Pinch new tips for a bushier plant.
Feeding: Feed occasionally during active growth.
Winter: Protect indoors from freezing.
Pests: Watch for mealybugs, mites and root rot.
Size & growth: A spreading, shrubby succulent rather than a tiny rosette. Container growth and tip-pinching control its footprint; long stems need space to trail.
