Crassula 'Silver Springtime' is a sport of Crassula 'Springtime' with attractive, chubby, silvery frosted leaves. It is a slow-growing succulent with leaves packed around a thin stem. The white and pink clusters of flowers that bloom from this succulent are stunning.
Crassulas are easy to grow, but they are susceptible to mealy bugs and fungal diseases. As with all succulents, overwatering is sure to be fatal, so err on the side of too dry rather than too wet. Never let your plant sit in water. If you water from beneath by letting the plant sit in a saucer of water, make sure to pour off any excess water after a few minutes.
Feed every two to three weeks during spring and summer using a diluted solution of water-soluble fertilizer or a product formulated specifically for cactus and succulents.
A soil composed of peat moss, loam, or sand, or any soil mixture with good drainage can be used. The soil should not be overly fertile.
