The jade plant, or Crassula ovata, is a beautiful plant that is incredibly tough. These things have to deal with elephants, rhinos, and baboons in the wild.
This is a small to medium size succulent plant from Southern Africa. I have seen them attain 7 feet in height in the wild, but in gardens, they normally attain a lower height in our lifetimes.

Crassulacean acid metabolism photosynthesis is a rather crafty adaptation some succulent plants use to survive in very harsh environments. Normal non-CAM plants absorb sunlight

Understanding Elephant and Jade Plants
These huge animals grab a trunk and snap it off and wave it through the air and shove it into their mouths.
These plants need some Sunlight. And they do not like being overwatered. Remember they have CAM photosynthesis, so they enjoy being able to get a little cold at night.
I find that my plants enjoy being hosed down every month. Take the pots outside and spray the leaves down with a fine hose spray and this doubles as a nice deep watering.
