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

They look amazing. We’ll have to purchase it again from succulentmarket.com in the future! they came in really fast, and looked beautiful since they were packaged with loving care. 10 out of 10 would recommend.  #GreggersSupportingGreggers #GregGang #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #SucculentLove #SucculentSquad #Succulents #Haworthia #Crassula

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

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
