About Miniature Pine Tree
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 Miniature Pine Tree
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 Miniature Pine Tree after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

White Powder! (Powdery Mildew?) I woke up this morning with what I now believe is powdery mildew on my Crassula Tetragona and It’s shrivles dying leaves! I’m not sure what would be the best option or remedy to bring my #Succulent back to its original state, and would greatly appreciate your help! Thank you in advance! #help ! Perhaps it’s nothing to worry about at all but I really want this guy to be healthy.

Greg not receiving my watering inputs? For the past couple of weeks, I’ve noticed Greg informing me incorrectly about some of my plants that have been watered. For example, I watered my #CrassulaTetragona 3 days ago but Greg says I watered on 12/15. A few times I’ll water 20-25 plants at a time and mark them watered on Greg. About 3-4 days later, I’ll receive a push notification from Greg letting me know that the same plants I watered, need watering again. I will go to their plant card and the date watered won’t be the same day I watered them, it displays the previous watering day (which usually is 2 weeks ago). If this happens, I just snooze. Don’t know if this is a known bug or a common problem for other #Greggers, but it has been throwing my routine off and I can’t tell if it’s my brain or the app messing up 🤣🤣 makes me feel like I’m going crazy 🫣 I still check the soil of my plants, but I’m already struggling with memory issues as is, and I don’t want to overwater my babies 😩🪴🫶🏽 Ty! #GregFeedback #gregteam #gregupdate #GregGang #kscapedream @RJG

Seems like everyday it’s grown a bit. If I forget to water it, it doesn’t “complain.” Very easy to take care of.

I love this succulent... i propagated it not too long ago and now it’s thriving in a it’s new pot.
propagation process:
- cut a good size piece from your succulent
- put it in water (I used distilled)
- make sure it gets plenty of light
- a couple of weeks later it should have a good amount of roots growing from the bottom
- plant your succulent in a pot that fits it’s size and congrats you just successfully propagated your succulent 😁
