Marine Florists Jade Plant

Yes, the Jade plant (Crassula ovata) is considered non-toxic to both cats and dogs, making it a safe choice for households with curious pets.

As a succulent, the Jade plant prefers to dry out completely between waterings. In most indoor environments, watering once every two to three weeks is sufficient, though you should always check that the soil is dry to the touch before adding more.

Jade plants prefer bright, indirect light to maintain their compact, tree-like shape. A sunny windowsill is ideal, but avoid harsh, direct afternoon sun which can scorch the fleshy leaves.

Because it is prone to root rot if left in standing water, it is essential to use a well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix. Ensure your pot has drainage holes at the bottom to allow excess water to escape.

While Jade plants can grow quite tall over many years, they are slow growers. Indoors, they typically stay manageable and compact, making them excellent for desks, shelves, or tabletops.
