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

What is wrong with my plant?? It’s been looking like this for a while and I don’t know what’s the problem. Maybe overwatering?? #help #Jade #JadePlant #SucculentSquad #GregGang #Greggers #TheThread

What are the little black specks in the center where all the leaves meet? #Crassula

At the beginning of the week I noticed that her stems appeared soft & she's starting to wilt. What can I do to save her? I did repot her recently. #Crassula

Moved outside, turning purple? #Crassula I’m assuming this isn’t necessarily a BAD thing, but just wanting to check. This plant has been inside with direct light for just under a year, but now that it’s warm again I moved it out onto my balcony. It’s been maybe 3 days, just watered a moment ago.

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

Goliath is leaning. I repotted him and cut off a hefty piece on one side and planted at the base. I lightly staked with a skewer. He started very small but has grown a lot. If I turn him away from the window, do you think he will even out? #Crassula

What other plant parents say











This plant is so sensitive… so sensitive that I got annoyed with it and neglected it with spite. Although it grew quickly at the beginning, it stopped growing abruptly and began being terribly dramatic after a few weeks. This could be due to the fact that it dries out quickly because little soil can fit in this super cute pot (from Groovy Plants Ranch, highly recommend: 5 stars). However, this may have been my fault because I chose a needy, thirsty plant for my rainbow hanging pot. Overall, do not buy this plant unless you want to provide it with small sips of water and tend to its every need for at least 40 hours a week.
