crassula

The Crassula family encompasses a large variety of succulent plants with different growth habits including everything from the upright ‘Propeller Plant’ to the trailing ‘String of Buttons’. Though there are hundreds of species in the Crassula family, the Jade Plant is by far the most popular. Like most succulents, Crassula thrive in bright light and require little maintenance. They prefer drier soil conditions and average household humidity. They are very slow growers indoors and can easily be propagated by leaf cuttings.

Grow in 4+ hours of direct sun per day to bright indirect light (5-6’ from a sunny window), eastern exposure is preferable. Prefers cool to warm household temperatures, 55°-85°F(tropical succulent plant, not cold hardy in Northeast Ohio). Let soil dry between waterings. Average humidity (40%) is beneficial, but not required. Feed with a multipurpose plant or cactus food, half strength, once a month, April-September, or as directed on the package label.
