App says crassula ovata as does the label I brought home. But the label says crassula ovata maruba as well and that’s not an option in the app. Can i just use one of the other labels that say crassula ovata?

It’s just another type of crassula ovata, of which there are many. Just give it a custom name in the app. Beautiful plant. Somewhat rare. Check it out but best guess is it will need lots of light to maintain those colors.

You can add it as the name that was on the label and the a picture. Then add it. I do that all the time.
