How to care for Crassula Baby Necklace

Sun/Location: Crassula succulents need some shade in the burning summer. South facing window with good airflow will be ideal for them to attain the vibrant color. Allow the succulents to receive complete outside sunshine in the spring and fall. Crassula Baby Necklace will grow leggy or etiolated excessively if they lack sunlight. If you live in a place with a cold winter, you can use growth lights to take care of these soft succulents.

Soil/Pot: To ensure the health of succulents, they need porous, well-draining soil to live in. Making your succulent mix is simple.

Larger pots would be more suitable, as Crassula succulents tend to grow quickly.

Watering: Crassula Baby Necklace and other Crassula species are easy to grow, so they are suitable for people who tend to neglect their plants. But not wholly neglect. Water thoroughly when the soil is dry. 

Propagating: Crassula 'Baby Necklace' can be propagated through stem or leaf cuttings. Choose a healthy stem with several leaves. Plant the cutting in well-draining soil, with the cut end buried about 1 inch deep. After a few weeks, new baby plants will start to grow.

Winter shipping

We insist on shipping succulents to our customers all year round. However due to the extreme winter weather, although we pack succulents with as much protective material as possible, plants are still at increased risk of frost on their way to colder areas. We highly recommend adding one 72-hour heat pack to your order or you can request a hold on the package until it warms up.

Please note that The Next Gardener is not responsible for packages that suffer cold damage without a heat pack. We cannot control the weather. Order at your own risk.

Hawaii, Alaska, and Other US Territories

Fortunately, shipping is available to Alaska, Guam, and other U.S. Territories. However, due to numerous factors beyond our control, including customs checks and shipping delays, free shipping to Hawaii and Puerto Rico is not an option. And we can not provide the 14-day quality guarantee for orders going to Hawaii and Puerto Rico. The buyer will assume all risk of damage when a delivery is delayed. We appreciate your understanding.
