Crassula Light Requirements
Most crassula plants need partial shade in the hottest part of summer but require full sun to attain their most vibrant color. When grown outdoors, a place with morning sun and afternoon shade is perfect but should not be exposed to a lot of direct sun (which may cause leaf scorch).
What type of soil does a crassula plant need?
Crassula plants need soil that is very well-draining and will do best in sandy, rocky blends formulated especially for succulents. They prefer neutral to slightly acidic soil, but even extreme pH levels rarely kill the plant. Crassula plants will react badly to boggy, wet soils, as their roots can easily rot.

How often should water a Crassula?
Water thoroughly only when the soil is dry to the touch (about every 2 weeks). Never let your succulents sit in water and do NOT water on the leaves. Don't forget to learn how to water your succulents the right way.

Temperature and Humidity

Some species will tolerate a mild frost, but temperatures below 30 degrees Fahrenheit may be enough to kill them off. Crassula species prefer low humidity, but they also survive nicely in very humid climates.
