This unusual-looking succulent consists of thick chains of leaves, with its succulent foliage the colour of jade and looking like a necklace threaded with the precious stones. Its appearance may be unusual, but happily it doesn't need any unusual care; it will enjoy a spot in bright light, with a little morning or evening sun, and just needs its soil to dry out between waters. Its succulent leaves will wrinkle when it's thirsty and ready for a drink. Growing up to 15cm in height as a houseplant, once you've found the perfect spot, sit back and watch it shine!

Scientific Name
Crassula x rupestris f. marnieriana 'Hottentot'

This plant is a hybrid, with one parent species being C. marnieriana, and the other a plant a species with the name rupestris.

Common Name
Jade Necklace Vine

Origin
Originates in Namibia and Southwest South Africa

Light
Make sure your Jade Necklace gets a few hours of morning or evening sun; it can scorch in midday heat but will need some sun to grow its best.

Water
Let the soil totally dry out between waters, mimicking the arid natural habitat of this succulent.

Humidity
This plant doesn't need to be humid - in fact, it much prefers drier air, so make sure not to keep it somewhere damp!

Soil
A well-draining soil, such as one designed for cacti and succulents, or with added sand and grit, will work well here. Repot every few years as the plant grows.

Food
Feed every two months in the growing season, and reduce over winter to every three.

Temperature
Keep your plant between 15-26°C- make sure it doesn't drop below 12°C in winter.

Pet-safe
No, this plant is mildly toxic to dogs and cats.

Sprouts Top Tips
If it's in a spot with a little more sun than is ideal, this plant may start to turn red. Don't worry too much though; it isn't permanent and the worst it will do is slow down your plant's growth. You can avoid this easily by moving to a spot with less direct sun, but make sure not to move it somewhere much darker as this can cause environmental shock which is worse than the sunburn.

Important Information

If you have any questions, please check out the below or get in touch via our contact form

We're devoted to sending our customers quality plants with the best service around. Every plant is backed by our 7-day guarantee, so they arrive in good health.

Our team takes extra steps when prepping plants for transportation, but they're still sensitive to changes, so there may be minor cosmetic issues. We always aim to photograph and disclose any flaws before shipping, but a living creature travelling across the country in a box can take a hot minute to adjust to its new life.

If you have any issues within 7 days of receiving your order, holler at our customer support team on our contact form with your order details and some pics of the issue. After the guarantee has expired, though, we can't refund as we can't guarantee care and environmental factors. If you repot the plant during the 7 days, the guarantee is void.

We have been sending plants up and down the country for many year now and we like to think we have our way down to an art.

We protect the plant from falling out of the soil with tissue paper and tape if needed, then we wrap the plant in corrugated cardboard, and sometimes we protect the leaves with extra tissue paper if required. This is then placed into a box and if there is any empty space, we fill this with void fill to stop the plants moving around inside the box. Sometimes we will write a note on your packing slip to water the plant on arrival, so please look out for this. This is due a freshly watered plant going in a box will not only be soggy, but as the plant is in darkness this can sometimes make the plant unhappy when just freshly watered.

If your plant arrives to you unhappy, please send us a photo of the plant and packaging if relevant straight away, so we can advise you.

Online orders are packed and dispatched within a few days. Usually depending on volumes, we aim to get your order dispatched within 1 working day. We have collections from Royal Mail 6 days a week so deliveries tend to be speedy.

Our standard parcel delivery service is £4.99 for Royal Mail Tracked48, you can upgrade to Tracked24 for £2.50.

We do offer a Tracked48 Large Letter option for £2.99, and Tracked24 for £1 extra, but this only applies to products less than 2.5cm thick.

*Deliveries 7 days a week only included Tracked24 parcels.
