How to fertilize Golden 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 Golden 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

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

What kind of fertilizer does anyone tecommend for my jade plant shown here? Also Greg does not like the pot that it is in but it does not recommend a different one. What pot recommendations do you have? #Crassula

Is it okay? #Crassula this my first time growing one of these. I know that some plants are okay to grow tall, it for others it is a sign they need something. I’m wondering about this plant? It was bending to the side, so I propped it up, but I noticed roots coming out of the stem. Is this normal and just it’s way of trying to prop itself or is it a sign I should be doing something?

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

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
