In some regions, Jade (Crassula ovata) is a popular houseplant; in others, it can grow almost like a weed and is extremely unfussy, just needing a little watering now and then. Like all succulents, its foilage is packed with water; when it shrivels, you know it's asking for a drink. Jade is attractive, sturdy, and a hands-down trouble-free plant for your pool area landscaping.
