CRASSULA OVATA - a.k.a. Jade Plant, Money Plant

Many years ago when I lived in a different house that had a conservatory, I loved to grow succulents as well as many other types of indoor plants.  While cactii are interesting, they can be savage little beasts.  One succulent, crassula ovata, grew into a beautiful bush which flowered frequently, smothering itself with little white flowers.  That plant was left behind when I moved abroad for a while.  The other day at a garden centre I bought a young crassula ovata.  At least, I think that's what it is as it had no label.  I don't have a conservatory now but I am hoping that the plant will do well anyway.

I'll post photos if it flowers but I doubt it'll do that any time soon.
