Yes, Crassula ovata can be grown from seeds when viable seeds are available, although propagation through stem or leaf cuttings is more commonly used. Seed-grown plants generally take longer to develop into mature bonsai specimens. Confirm that your seed packet contains genuine Jade Plant seeds before sowing.
Developing a Jade Plant into a bonsai can take several years. Growth rate depends on the plant's age, light, growing conditions, container size, and pruning practices. Allow the plant to develop a healthy trunk and branches before beginning more extensive shaping.
Water when the growing medium has dried sufficiently, rather than following a fixed daily schedule. Water thoroughly and allow excess water to drain away. Frequent watering and poorly drained soil can cause root rot in this succulent plant.
