Hello! I took a picture of this plant previously during the summer and there was no identification so I thought taking a picture now during the season might help. I think this is a type of dwarf jade but I am very unsure of its cultivar or variety such as if it’s Crassula ovata minima, minor, Crosby’s compact, Helios, etc. Grateful for the help!

Thank you for the identification! What is the difference between the ‘compacta’ and the Crosby?

What is the difference between the crassula ovata ‘compacta’, crassula ovata baby jade, and the crassula ovata Crosby? They all seem almost identical to me. @teamgardentags #plantid-crassula

I'm going to have to bow out of this one because I'm really not knowledgeable about jade plants. I hadn't actually heard of C. ovata 'Crosby' until I read this post.

This is a very pretty #succulent. I wish I could help on the ID, but know these other two mentioned are great at it.

@cjalessandro I have one similar and was told it’s most likely minima. I’ll be curious what others say.

Hello! So I now know that this plant is a type of dwarf jade but does anyone know what type it could be? For example, is it a a crassula ovata Crosby compact, a crassula ovata minor, etc. Thank you to anyone who can help!
