'''''Crassula''''' is a large [[genus]] of plants containing many [[species]], including the popular [[Jade Plant]], ''Crassula ovata''. They are native to many parts of the globe, but cultivated varieties are almost exclusively from the Eastern Cape of [[South Africa]].
Crassulas are usually propagated by stem or leaf [[cutting]]s. Most cultivated forms will tolerate some small degree of frost, but extremes of cold or heat will cause them to lose foliage and die.
