Crassula is a genus of succulent plants containing about 200 accepted species. They include shrub (branching) varieties commonly called jade plants, as well as "stacked crassulas" with leaves pancaked along thin stems.

Crassula Soil Type: Make sure it drains well. DIY mix: 6 parts pumice or perlite, 2 parts compost or potting mix and 2 parts coarse-grained sand or granite grit. OR use store soil mixes: 1 part bagged cactus mix and 1 part potting mix. Watering Crassula: Very low. Does not like wet feet. Crassula Light Preference: Full to Partial Sun, Bright Indoor Light.

Most Crassula plants prefer shade but they also need bright light to get a vibrant color. It’s best to use the “soak and dry” method, and allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. When in doubt, don't water.
