How to fertilize Hobbit Jade
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Hobbit Jade after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Diseased Crassula Hi everyone! One of my crassulas is looking diseased and I was wondering if there is anything I can do for it? There is white fluff on the plant and whilst most leaves seem healthy, some are shrivelled or beginning to shrivel. #PestControl #Crassula #GollumJade #Jade

Hi all, my plant has a very bad fungus infection, what is the best way to solve this? There are no bugs on it. Thanks! #Crassula

My plant grew these weird roots on one of the stalks. I was underwatering it for a while, when I finally learned to water properly the other stalks recovered but this one didn't. Any ideas what to do with it? #Crassula

I’ve had this guy for about a month and seeing some odd textures appear on some leaves. Should I be worried? #Crassula #hobbitjade #crassulaovata

One of the “ears” is turning yelling. Is this normal or should I be doing something differently? Giving her lots of sun and watering her sparingly. Have sprayed her twice for potential spider mites. #Crassula

Any advice for these pups? I got this Crassula over summer and it started growing pups and losing its adult leaves. I kinda liked the idea of cutting a little below the 3 pups on the top to see how it would grow (check marking on second photo) but I’m scared it may be difficult for it to grow roots.. I’ve started to remove the ones toward the bottom of the plants once they’ve grown big enough. I’m hoping i can keep the momma alive. Pictures at the end of the pups in their new pots 🤗 #Crassula #CactusClique #PropagationStation #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents

I love my Hobbit Jade but right now Hemingway is ticking me off 🤬 I’ve had nothing but issues since I got him. His predecessor was great w/ very little issues and was happy with home made potting soil and sand mix. This one was hydrophobic when I got him so switched out to a terracotta pot and started bottom watering. Tried out soil for succulents thinking he would like it and wouldn’t have to water every 3-4 days. How very wrong 😑 I was. Now have to repot and switch out the current soil w/the potting soil/sand mix I had used before. Grr 😠 My other succulents enjoy the succulent soil I got ‘em.

Can I repot this plant even though it's October? My springtime crassula has finally grown long enough to tip her pot over. Conventional wisdom says to wait until spring, but I don't want to have her resting on her lower leaves for that long. Would repotting her right now be a bad move? #Crassula #crassulaposting #pottingadvice
