After the succulent is pruned, place it in an indirect light spot to allow it time to adapt to increasing hours of daylight. Even though jade plants come in a variety of colors, they can thrive even under less light. The monkey tail's flowers can be light pink or red, and are less than an inch wide at the tips of its long stems. Sometimes, the succulent will sprout small red flowers along its ripples and at the top. Every stem has ripples running up and down its sides. That is how the name "Tanzanian Zipper", which resembles a zipper, comes from.
