About Crassula Pellucida
Plants in the Crassula genus are amazingly diverse and come in an incredible assortment of sizes and colors. Many of the ones we grow today are native to a small region in South Africa, which makes that diversity even more amazing! They're super low maintenance plants that can handle long periods of drought, so great if you're prone to skipping waters (we won't tell). 🫢 Make sure they get plenty of sunlight and that they're planted in a pot with a drainage hole and they'll be happy as can be!

How to fertilize Crassula Pellucida
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 Crassula Pellucida after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Please help!!! #Crassula why does she look so sad? She used to be so luscious… I think I’ve overwatered it. Is there saving???
-
Does anyone know if this is a bad idea? I have just thrown the pieces that fall off into other pots (they grow like weeds), but will it hurt my plants?

New plant from Menards! Only 75 cents. 🙂 My son named it.

Any suggestions on how to perk this girl up? Received her on Monday from Amazon but she isn’t looking too enthusiastic. #SucculentLove #Crassula

Help!! She’s dying I bought this plant from Walmart. I waited a week before watering after potting her in her new pot to let her get acclimated. Idk what to do. This is my first time buying from Walmart. I usually buy from Lowe’s. Maybe she was sick to begin with? The one labeled Miley is what she used to look like😞 and the other photo is now 😩

I think it’s dying!!! So I bought a plant on Amazon… probably where I went wrong first. I’ve had her for about 2 weeks and she is just slowly dying. I’ve followed all of Greg’s instructions/tips but she’s still going down hill. Please help!! #SucculentSquad #PlantGraveyard #Dyingplant #plantdoctor #SucculentLove #PlantTherapy #HangingPlants

Two repots from last night.. I was literally out in the storm, repotting plants. 😵💫 can you say manic episode ? Anyways these pots didn’t have holes, & I REFUSE to use a pot without drainage, so I finally got my boyfriend to drill some holes in these cute lil pots I’ve been holding onto, for what seems like forever ! 🥰 so cute Baby yoda- ‘Spring jade’ Sedeveria (she has lots of babies underneath her) Cement Circles Pot- Calico Kitten Crassula & Andromichus Triflourus (Calico hearts) What could I put in the tiniest cell, left on the cement one ? #HappyPlants #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #GrowingSuccs #CalicoKitten #CalicoHearts #Sedeveria #repotting #RepotSeason #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #OutdoorGrowing #CoolPotMondays (I know it’s not Monday 😅) #Succulents #Succulent #FreshFeaturedFriday #FreshLeafFriday

#PlantMail arrived today, from Mountain Crest Gardens! They came in much better shape this time, in a smaller box which meant they had less room to be jostled around. I’m so happy with all of them, the colors & conditon they came in! 1. Sedeveria ‘Spring Jade’ 💚 she is perfect, and super healthy, the colors are lovely! 2. Graptosedum ‘Blue Giant’- isn’t quite ‘blue’ yet, she’s more of a light powder greenish blue, but I know once he receives more light, he will show more color. He also was healthy, just needs a deep watering. 3. Echeveria ‘Dark Moon’ - I’ve been wanting a black, or dark colored Echeveria, I’ve seen a blue moon on Greg before and it was sooo stunning such a deep blue color! I’m sure some of yall have seen it, I can’t remember her ‘@‘ but if you remember tag her! Anyways I can’t wait to get her in the sun so she can continue to develop those blue colors ! Help me think of a name for her ! 💙 I like ‘marina’ cause she’s a Marine blue. 4. Crassula ‘Calico Kitten’ Is one of my fave succulents, (it was my boyfriend’s favorite #succulent from this order also. I’ve had one before but lost it due to rot. 😟 I love the crassula species. it’s so diverse, colorful, their are so many different shapes/silhouettes.. AND they are typically low maintenance/chill succulents! This is the one I got for my tiered planter, it has one spot left, & i wanted to add 1 more trailing succulent to the planter. It will be on the middle tray so it will be in the same planter with my VSOH, and calico hearts! The calico kitten also somewhat has heart shaped leaves, so the middle level will be heart themed 🤗💕 (picture 5 is the middle level, where my calico kitten will be.) #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents #GrowingSuccs #HappyPlants #PlantAddict #iamnothorder #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #Echeveria #Crassula #Graptosedum #Sedeveria #CalicoKitten #OutdoorGrowing

So basically when I first got this plant it was really dark like greeny purple. Then it just stayed like that for about a year then I started watering it more and putting it on my windowsill so it got a load of water and light which made its go vibrant green and it grew lots more right down the side of the pot. This plant is a survivor but loves to have a bit of tlc❤️. I recommend for beginner plant parents.
