Trailing jade boasts cascading stems adorned with abundant, small, and peculiar round leaves. Each leaf, measuring about an inch (2.5 cm) in diameter, appears to be almost perfectly circular. The foliage is deep green, displaying a matte surface with slight succulence, contributing to the plant's resilience. The stems, which can extend several feet in length, trail elegantly and make trailing jade particularly well-suited for suspending in a hanging basket where its distinctive leaf shape and growth habit can be appreciated.
