[quote="Maureen43"] I have read that these plants may or may not flower, and if they do, it will only be in winter. My plant lives in an unheated conservatory year round and it flowers in June and again in November. /quote]

There are two different plants that get called Jade - the one with green leaves is Crassula ovata and that normally flowers in Winter if it gets the correct conditions which seem to involve short daylight hours and lower night temperatures. The other plant with larger greyer leaves is Crassula arborescens which is usually flowers spring/summer. I always get flowers on my C.ovata kept in a greenhouse but only an occasional flower on C. arborescens no matter where I put them and C. ovata on windowsills also reluctant to flower.
