About Crassula plegmatoides
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 plegmatoides
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 plegmatoides after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Can my big beautiful jade recover from black spots on its leaves? I’ve sprayed neem oil on it and repotted it in a chunky mix with systemic granules. #Crassula

Family photooo 📸 #WhatTheSuccWednesday this Campfire family just keeps growing! I’m surprised mom is alive & keeps growing more and more pups despite them sucking Scarlet dry 😭 that’s 14 pups separated from her & 6 more growing on her. I love seeing the differences in all of them them. Especially the red quadruplets 🥰 #CampfireCrassula #Crassula #HappyPlants #NewGrowth #SucculentLove #SucculentSquad #Succulents #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict

The leaves are showing brown spotting, as if they had been bit or burned. What could it be due to & what should I do ? #Crassula

What are these brown spots on my Crassula moonglow? I got this 3 weeks ago and noticed that 1 brown spot. It is in well draining soil and the pot has drainage, and they are indoors under grow lights. I watered it for the first time 5 days ago when the leaves started getting soft and floppy. Now the leaves are firm, but I am noticing more brown spots. I was able to scratch them off with my fingernail and they're dry and scab-like. Dies anyone know what this is? #crassula #crassulamoonglow #moonglow #brownspots #spots #fungus #rust #succulenthelp #help #succulentquestion #question

Critical challenge #Crassula #Resuscitate #Succulent This plant was not watered for months (it was my previous housemate's) and now I'm trying the impossible. After repotting it and giving it water it started to lose the few leaves it had but now it seems stabilized and it's growing new little leaves at the bottom. I'm not even sure about the species, my best guess was Jade plant, any better idea? Any particular suggestions for the critical situation?

Is it possible for him to grow back all green again? He has sprouted little green tips on some of the brown which I thought was interesting. #Crassula

Crassula columella Hi everyone, I have only had this crasslula for about 2 weeks and the stem recently started turning black. It gets about 4-5 hours of indirect sunlight every day. It Is potted in a soil mixture made from aquarium sand + special cactus soil. I always waited until the soil was completley dry before watering again. I just smelled the roots and they smell moldy. However i dont know if it is root rot because the soil was always dry... Any suggestions on what this could be? Can I still save this plant? I should also mention, that the sand used for the potting soil was taken from an old aquarium and had been stored in a bag outside for a couple of years. Was this a mistake? Maybe a way of causing a fungus infection? Thank you for your Help! #crassula #succulentlove #succulents
