About Silver Dollar Plant
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 Silver Dollar Plant
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 Silver Dollar Plant after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Any jade lovers who can help me ? Bought my jade plant 12/8. Mentioned that she needed watering so I watered it giving it a good soak. Watered it again 1/8. She has gone from a lush plant to a thin plant. What is wrong? How can I fix it?

What's the best way forward😅 Hi all, I hope someone can give me some advice on this crassula arborescense? ovata? I was gifted today. As you can see at the pictures the plant was a little neglected and I can use all your help😅 The information that I have: -The owner has been bedbound for the last year. Bella stood in some kind of greenhouse, direct behind a window at the south. -The last month she stood inside but 5 meters from a window. I watered her heavy today (drained it afterwards) and put the meter in. I think it's just in regular soil, it's quite dense. What are the best steps to take? Change the soil? (it's winter here now) Prune her drastically? Leave her be? Put her near my south window or use a grow light? I would really appreciate your advice! #Crassula

Why are their leaves falling? Hi there, this plant is since recently dropping quite a few leaves. Which worries me bc it never did that. Could it be bc it’s colder now or could there be an other reason? Thanks in advance!

It’s dropping its little leaves. They don’t look as shriveled as they used to be. But what can I do to help it? Anything #Crassula

Something is wrong with Navajo, he is watered about every 10 days, has a draining pot, and has direct sun, but he is dropping leaves, turning black and very limp. I don't know what to do. Suggestions, advice please.

dying?? I got a jade plant a couple months ago and I do live in a desert so it is warm but it’s like exacerbating dying and it just won’t retain water so I have a feeling it’s dehydrated and the fertilizer that I use, have like three different kinds and they all kill it more and it’s so small and shriveled up and dead, but I don’t wanna throw away cause I feel bad and I want to save it, but I don’t know how to save it

Should I repot it in a smaller pot or back in water? Hello there I was wondering what I should do with this propagation. At first it was in water and it did well but now after almost a year in soil it looks like this. And I don’t know in what I should repot it in a smaller pot or back in water. I also checked the roots and they are okay I think but there are not a whole lot I can see. So I hope someone with more experience than me knows whats better since I have no clue. Thanks in advance for the advice!

This thing went through outdoors in the winter last year and has recovered and regrown beautifully over the last year. Definitely a survivor.

Hadn’t watered her in probably 5-6 months and she did not die. If that’s not a survivor I don’t know what is
