Crassula 'Springtime' likes to have plenty of bright, filtered light, and thorough watering only when the soil is completely dry. Overwatering can predispose the plant to rot and other fungal diseases. Utilizing porous soil with adequate drainage, and ensuring adequate airflow around the plant, will go a long way towards preventing such a fate! Hardy only to a Zone 10a, its chubby leaves appreciate protection from frost during the winter months.

In accordance with its name, bright pink flower clusters with red centers will bloom in the springtime, which attract both bees and butterflies with their soft fragrance. After blooming, the plant will transition into a period of summer dormancy – so take extra care not to overwater or repot your plant during this time.
