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

Can someone help identify this plant? 4 months ago I asked this same question and we resulted on Kalanchoe but we weren’t sure because the plant was still pretty small. Now that it’s grown a bit and the leaves are larger, anyone able to confidently identify this plant? #PlantID #Kalanchoe #HappyPlants

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

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?
