At least 6 hours of sunlight per day is recommended.

What are the signs of overwatering?

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Potting: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent mix, to prevent root rot.
  2. Sunlight: Place in a location that receives at least 6 hours of sunlight per day. If indoors, a south-facing window is ideal.
  3. Watering: Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Generally, water every 2-3 weeks.
  4. Temperature: The Crassula Ovata prefers temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C).
  5. Fertilizing: Fertilize sparingly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer.
  6. Repotting: Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant outgrows its pot. Handle with care, as the roots can be delicate.
