About Crassula mesembryanthemoides
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 mesembryanthemoides
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 mesembryanthemoides 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

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

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

Mealy Bug on well watered Succulent 🙄🫠 So last week I noticed some weird white fine stringy stuff on this succulent and I was like 😱 oh no! spider mites!😱 but then I wasn’t sure if it was just the plants fuzz because it’s also fuzzy. Either way, i sprayed it with insecticidal soap and let it sit for 5 minutes and washed it down so I could pat dry the leaves. The leafs hold water because of the fuzzes so I needed to make sure to dry them. I didnt see any bugs that time but this morning I found a MeaLY BUG! It hasn’t been a week since I treated it last and I want to treat it again but I’m scared that will lead to over watering because I’m sure right now it’s at full capacity of water in leaves. I was wondering, should I just remove it from the soil and treat it or should I just treat it in the pot, cross my fingers and hope it doesn’t rot? 😬 the foliage is very rough fuzz almost like Velcro so i don’t think alcohol on a Q-tip will work on this plant because it will just take all the q-tip fuzz off 🤭 so I think I have to continue taking the insecticidal soap method. 😔 sad because it’s one of my favorites. #SucculentSquad #PestControl #SucculentLove

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

Should I repot calico kitten? So she’s growing great tbh and I hate to upset her. She’s grown outwards bigger than i anticipated and her little arms have grown roots. I was thinking of finding her a bigger pot so her arms could root rather than float. Or should I just leave her be? #Crassula #CalicoKitten #
