Introducing the variegated jade plant, also known as Crassula ovata 'variegata, a vibrant member of the Crassula genus. Native to South Africa, it has several other common names such as; variegated money tree, Crassula ovata Tricolor, Crassula Argentea variegated, and Tricolor jade. 

The crassula ovata variegata is an elegantly branched shrub with attractive green foliage striped, thick, fleshy spoon-shaped leaves with creamy-white or pale yellow patterns that turn pink in the sun. If given the proper care, your variegated jade crassula can live for up to 70 years. Although it grows slowly, adding only two inches to its height each year, this variegated jade plant can grow to a maximum height of three to six feet and 3 feet wide. 

The flowers of the variegated jade plant are small and star-shaped and bloom in showy clusters from late winter to early spring. The overall appearance of your Crassula ovata variegata is delicately enhanced by these star-shaped flowers, which are usually white with pink overtones. Although they rarely bloom indoors, the green and white variegated leaves of this variegated jade are attractive. 

This variegated Jade plant is a Chinese good luck plant because of its coin-shaped broad leaves, which symbolize wealth and fortune. Imagine adding a rare and beautiful Crassula jade plant to your collection that develops into a woody, branching shrub that makes an excellent large bonsai tree. 

When and How to Water Your Variegated Jade Plant  

The Variegated Jade Plant has low watering needs and is considered drought-tolerant. It prefers infrequent watering rather than being consistently moist. It's critical to let the soil dry out in between waterings because overwatering can cause root rot. A good rule of thumb is to hold off on watering again until the top inch of soil has dried out. Remember, it's always better to underwater than to overwater your Crassula ovata variegata plant. So, be sure to check the soil moisture before reaching for that watering can! 

When watering, it's important to use a well-draining soil mix to prevent water from sitting in the pot and causing root issues. Make sure the pot has drainage holes to allow excess water to drain. During the winter months or when the plant is in a dormant phase, you can reduce watering frequency even further. It's always a good idea to observe your plant and adjust the watering schedule based on its specific needs and the conditions in your environment. 

By providing the right amount of water, you can help your Variegated Jade Plant thrive and maintain its beautiful appearance. 

Light Requirements - Where to Place Your Jade Plant 

The Variegated Jade Plant thrives in bright, full sunlight to partial shade for at least 4-6 hours daily. It prefers a spot near a window where it can receive plenty of bright, filtered sunlight throughout the day. Under bright sunlight, bright red margins appear on leaves that are up to 2 inches long. However, it's important to protect your Crassula ovata variegata plant from direct sunlight for extended periods, especially during the hot afternoon hours, as it can scorch the leaves. 

If you notice that the leaves of your Variegated Jade Plant are turning pale or yellowish, it may be an indication that it's not receiving enough bright light. On the other hand, if the leaves start to appear sunburned or develop brown spots, they might be getting too much direct sunlight. Finding the right balance is key to keeping your variegated jade happy and healthy. 

If you don't have access to bright, indirect light, you can also grow the Variegated Jade Plant under fluorescent lights. This can be a great alternative for indoor spaces with limited natural light. Just make sure to keep the lights on for around 12-14 hours a day to mimic the variegated jade plant Crassula Ovata Variegata natural light cycle. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The Variegated Jade Plant prefers well-draining soil with soil ph 5.6 -6.5 that allows excess water to escape. A good mix for this plant is a combination of cactus soil and perlite, which provides the right balance of moisture retention and drainage. This type of soil helps prevent overwatering and root rot, which can be detrimental to the plant's health. Instead, make or buy a well-draining potting mix, or ideally use our specialized potting succulent mix that contains 5 natural substrates and mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your variegated jade succulent to thrive. 

When it comes to fertilizers, organic fertilizers with an equal mixture of 5-10-5 (NPK) also last longer and keep your soil alive by adding other beneficial compounds and microbes that encourage plant health and nutrient absorption. So, skip those harsh chemicals and give your succulent some love with some awesome organic fertilizer! 

During the growing season, which is typically spring you can fertilize your jade plant variegated Crassula once a year. You can stop fertilizing completely during the dormant season. 

Remember, it's always important to follow the instructions on the fertilizer packaging and avoid over-fertilizing, as it can lead to leaf burn or other issues. Keep an eye on your plant's growth and adjust the fertilizing schedule accordingly. With the right soil mix and proper fertilization, your Variegated Jade Plant will thrive and showcase its beautiful variegated leaves! 

Hardiness Zones & More 

Like the majority of Crassulas, the Crassula ovata variegata can withstand some short-term freezing, but it will lose its leaves and eventually die in extremely cold or hot temperatures.  This Variegated Jade Plant is typically hardy in USDA hardiness zones 10-11. It prefers a warm climate and does best in temperatures between 65-75°F. In cooler zones, it can be kept outdoors during the summer and brought in as the temperature drops. 

In terms of humidity, the Variegated Jade Plant is adaptable and can tolerate a range of humidity levels. It does well in average household humidity, but it's important to avoid excessive moisture and high humidity, as it can lead to fungal issues and root rot. Good air circulation is also beneficial for the plant's overall health. 

Remember to keep an eye on the temperature and humidity levels in your specific location and adjust accordingly to provide the best conditions for your Variegated Jade Plant. With the right climate and care, your plant will thrive and bring beauty to your space!

Variegated Jade Plant Propagation

The Propagation of the variegated Jade Plant is relatively straightforward. It can be propagated through stem or leaf cuttings. Simply allow the cuttings to dry and callous over before placing them in well-draining soil.

A book on dialogue should be experienced first as a book on tape
Format: Audio CD
I think of this more as a great master class lecture. Dialogue should be seemingly simple (we all talk), but McKee defines its essence and differences for prose, stage and cinema. The bulk is narrated by McKee, but the scene examples are read by voice actors and they do quite well. Even the roots of the English language are examined in order to make better decisions on your character's particular use of words. After listening the 10 hours twice while commuting, I finally picked up the book and read it. The book on tape is a better way to initially absorb the material, while the actual book helps to clarify the info. A must for all writers, especially screenwriters.

Helpful, but not as good as "Story" by same author, and it disses certain genres
Format: Hardcover
This book contains a lot of helpful information on how to write dialogue. It's dense with dialogue analysis and insights, tough to take in by just reading it through once. But it is helpful. McKee covers the three dialogue tiers (said, unsaid, unsayable) as well as how dialogue ties into story turning points and scene conflict type. I still have lots of practice ahead of me to figure out how best to do this in my story. I will definitely use his advice as a guide. He understands dialogue at a much deeper level than I do. However, many of McKee's dialogue examples did not speak to me. While I liked reading the dialogue examples for Breaking Bad, 30 Rock, The Sopranos, Frasier, A Raisin in the Sun, and The Great Gatsby, and agreed they were good, I disliked the dialogue from Shakespeare, Elmore Leonard, Sideways, Fraulein Else, and Lost in Translation. McKee says fine dialogue turns the reader/audience into a mind reader; I guess I'm not interested in movies which expect me to be as much of a mind reader as those latter examples did. I totally missed the subtext of the dialogue in those until he explained it to me as an aside. And that's after I already saw most of those movies! If I have to guess what every character means with every line, that's too much work and too little entertainment for me. Maybe mystery lovers liked the dialogue in "Lost in Translation"; I'm not a mystery lover. McKee quoted one novelist as saying that the crux of good writing is to, "Make em laugh, make em cry, make em wait." Lost In Translation and its dialogue did none of that for me. The subtext was so confusing and subtle that I lost interest in the movie. I can't even remember what it was about anymore, only that it won some award and I had no clue why. McKee says that with rare exceptions, a scene should never be outwardly and entirely about what it seems to be about. Dialogue should imply, not explain, its subtext. An ever-present subtext is the guiding principle of realism. Nonrealism, on the other hand, employs on-the-nose dialogue in all its genres and subgenres: myth and fairytale, science fiction and time travel, animation, the musical, the supernatural, Theatre of the Absurd, action/adventure, farce, horror, allegory, magical realism, postmodernism, dieselpunk retrofuturism, and the like. It's a bit unclear how, if at all, anyone writing in any of these "nonreal" genres should take his dialogue advice. It seems to me that even sci fi scenes need some good dialogue with subtext to be engaging. With McKee, all the accolades go to what is implied and unsaid over what is said. I agree that subtext matters, but for me, he's out of proportion with how much it matters to most people and how hard audiences are willing to work to discover the intended subtext. Also, memorable spoken character lines can elevate movie themes and characterization like nothing else. In the end, I think this book is geared more toward writers who want other advanced writers as their audience rather than the average reader or movie watcher. And McKee admits it is definitely not geared toward sci fi, fairytales/myths, action/adventure, horror or allegory. It's almost as if he's saying those genres can't have excellent dialogue. I disagree. But it was still a helpful book to read, and one I will be thinking about and trying to more fully understand for a long time. McKee understands how character's subconscious drives can deepen what they say or avoid saying, and how dialogue interacts with many other aspects of a story to make it all work together.

Amazing.
Format: Kindle
Just like a good movie, the first 10 pages = mind blown. Wow, such really, really good material here. If you're new, this will help you a ton. If you're experienced, this book will help you realize WHY great dialogue is so great, enabling you to create the magic again and again. I love how McKee covers several medias ( screen, theater, novel ) but still stays true and clear on the concept. A virtual masterclass on the subject. One of the best screenwriting books out there, and Yes, it's well worth all the hype.

So to speak
Format: Kindle
Previews did not show the Table of Contents, but it is worth searching the web for. The coverage includes practical techniques as well as case studies. Notes cover titles on topics over several decades. This book has four parts about what dialogue is, how it can mended, and how it can be created and designed. Trialogue, the third thing through which a pair of characters channel conflict in conversation, is an interesting concept because it overlaps social networks or media and comms devices; it is also looked at historically. Dialogue is reportedly the quickest way to fix a narrative text since it appeals to intuition. Those levels of depth are what the book is about. They can be found in first person voice. The approach could easily fill a site on the order of tropes for favorite titles, but for deconstruction and revision, which are also relevant to works in progress. It talks about finding characters in the dark, though not necessarily from the milieu, unless it were compressed and made to transfer meaning like in poetry, but reflexive so that it is symmetrical to the characters or human nature. If there is a boundary to be found, then this method is going to hit the lines to find out what happens then. The impact on the rest of the narrative elements is discussed. This extends back through the early philosophers, through tragedy, the merging of European roots into English, and the study of personalities to contemporary customs. Voice is plot.

ONE OF THE TWO BEST BOOKS ON SCREENWRITING
Format: Hardcover
Probably the best book on screenwriting ever (besides Egri), though there is also much here for the novelist and playwright. I am a professional TV writer, of long-standing (35 years), and I can tell you I used this book to figure out how to fix the problems of a complex pilot I'm writing; the author truly " guided me home." And lest you think I'm a McKee sycophant, I am not. I found little in STORY for me. The only thing I disagree with in DIALOGUE is that the author sells his own work short: it isn't just for those who are "lost" in their writing, like me, and the student, it's for anyone who writes fiction for a living, in any form, no matter how much experience they have. It's that good.
