Mini jade 2 isn’t a single specific species name — it generally refers to Crassula plants that have yellow-toned leaves (either naturally or due to sun exposure). These succulents belong to the Crassulaceae family, the same group as Jade plants (Crassula ovata).

🌞 Common Types of Yellow Crassula Succulents

1. Crassula ovata ‘Hummel’s Sunset’ (Golden Jade Plant)
• Probably the most popular “yellow” Crassula.
• Features green leaves with yellow and red margins, especially when exposed to bright light.
• Grows into a small shrub-like plant.
• In winter, it often turns more golden and red.
2. Crassula perforata ‘Variegata’ (String of Buttons Variegated)
• Has stacked, triangular leaves with creamy-yellow or light-green variegation.
• The edges can blush pink under the sun.
• Forms pretty trailing or upright stems.
3. Crassula pellucida subsp. marginalis ‘Calico Kitten’ (Variegated Crassula)
• Small heart-shaped leaves with yellow, pink, and green tones.
• Excellent for hanging pots or ground cover.
• Color intensifies with sunlight.
4. Crassula capitella ‘Campfire’
• Leaves start lime-green and turn bright yellow-orange to red in full sun.
• A favorite for its dramatic color transitions.

🌿 Why Some Crassulas Turn Yellow

• Sunlight exposure: Many Crassulas develop yellow or golden tones when they get plenty of direct light — this is healthy “stress coloring.”
• Temperature stress: Cooler temperatures can enhance yellow and red pigments.
• Nutrient or water issues: If leaves turn dull yellow and soft, it could mean overwatering or nutrient deficiency, not coloration.

🌱 Care Tips for Crassula Yellow Succulents

• Light: Bright, indirect to full sunlight (4–6 hours daily).
• Soil: Well-draining succulent/cactus mix.
• Water: Only when soil is completely dry — overwatering causes root rot.
• Temperature: Prefers 18–25°C (65–77°F); protect from frost.
• Fertilizer: Monthly feeding during spring–summer with diluted succulent fertilizer.
