Highlights
Crassula 'Silver Springtime': A slow grower with silvery, blue-green foliage that stacks up in tidy clusters. This variety is well-loved for its blooms. It produces round, fragrant clusters of tiny pink flowers in spring. This cultivar is a hybrid of C. 'Springtime' x C. 'Morgan's Beauty' and tends to stay under 4.0" wide.
Soft succulents will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. They need ample sunlight, great drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again.

Questions & Answers
Popular Questions
• Staff Answer
Either works! You can safely cut off blooms without harming the plant, but if you leave them long enough they will fall off on their own.
• Staff Answer
It generally stays under 3" tall but can spread along the ground. Each individual branch can be around 4" in diameter.
• Staff Answer
We don't call any Crassula pet safe as there are some varieties that are mildly toxic. Although we're not sure if Crassula 'Silver Springtime' is one of those, we still don't recommend it as a pet safe plant, just to be on the safe side.
• Staff Answer
It's not necessary, but you certainly can for aesthetic preference.
• Staff Answer
It can! It grows very well as an indoor plant as it doesn't need as redder succulents do.
• Staff Answer
Yes. It makes for an excellent indoor plant!

Shop Succulent Soil Here
Succulents need grittier soil than other plants because they are adapted to dry conditions and store water in their leaves. Regular potting soil mixes stay damp for long periods of time, which can cause rot in succulents. Instead, use a sandy, well-draining soil so you can water thoroughly without leaving your succulent in standing water.

Our plants can be transplanted immediately upon arrival.
If you want to wait to transplant, they can remain in their original containers for up to a month. If the pots came in a plastic carrier tray, remove the pots from the carrier tray prior to the first watering.
Keep the plants indoors near a sunny window or outdoors under a roof (only if outdoor temperatures stay above your succulent's minimum hardiness temperature). Water only after the soil is fully dry by drenching from above with a faucet, hose, or watering can. Gently shake excess water from the leaves and allow containers to drain completely.
• Staff Answer
Fertilizing is not necessary, but it is a good option for succulent growers who want to encourage faster, larger growth. It can be used on mature plants with established roots. Only fertilize in the growing season (spring and summer for most varieties) to avoid weakening or burning dormant plants. Use a light touch and make 2-3 applications of low-Nitrogen, diluted fertilizer each year (N-P-K ratio around 5-10-10). You can find specially-formulated cactus / succulent fertilizers in most garden centers or go organic with compost tea or bone meal.
