Jade plants are succulents and require little maintenance. They have a thick, woody stems with dark-green, fleshy leaves that are round or oval. Jade plants reach heights of up to 5 feet indoors.…

Succulents such as Kalanchoe, Echeveria, and Crassula (for example Crassula ovata - the jade plant) are very successful when propagated by leaf cuttings.
Some of the indoor plants most commonly affected by mealy bugs include: African violets, aglaonema, Dracaenas, ferns, palms, ficus, pothos, philodendron, Norfolk Island pine, schefflera, jade plant and yucca.
oleracea grow upright and stay quite clean. They have dark green oval leaves as big as silver dollars, similar to jade plants in leaf shape and thickness. There is even a variety with golden green leaves called 'Goldgelber' or 'Goldberg'.
Medicinal value is negligible. No Crassula species are known to me to be listed as either edible or toxic. The best known member of the genus, at least in the United States, is doubtless the Jade Plant.
