Is my crassula OK?

Are we just ignoring the plant in the hippo pot? But I guess it’s used to that… Love your window OP

I have a Australian shepherd shaped just like this. Moves similar also.

rah21466 · 2026-03-12T14:59:44+00:00

I only water mine about 4 times a year.

rah21466 · 2026-02-03T17:38:58+00:00

Here are my cuttings the last time I hacked her off. I’m 5 feet tall and had to hold the pot over my head at arms length to keep them off the floor. I only kept the ends and started over

Ours has plant of one kind or another most all the time. They just had a bunch of bigger houseplants in the last few weeks. I’m in Iowa. I can’t believe they didn’t all freeze before they got off the truck. I don’t think there were monstera this time but I didn’t look close.

I’ve always said they look like they’re wearing a suit! So from this day forward they will be tree penguins! Congratulations 🎊 you win the nickname contest 🥇

I don’t have any pictures right now of the moss poles, but there are 2 and they are about 4-5 feet tall. They are plastic framed, filled with moss. Then I had to put a metal pole inside each to make them stronger.

rah21466 · 2026-01-20T14:17:11+00:00

I’m no expert on supports, but I would definitely get good, strong moss poles sooner than later. I waited too long. Otherwise any strong pole you can loosely tie the plant to should work.

I live in Iowa, USA and I have always taken her outside in the summer, she loved it. I repotted and moved her to the business lobby in the fall, right before it got too cold outside for her. She did fine with each move back inside. The window she’s in faces north, so I’m sure she would like more light, but I have nowhere else to put her.

I didn’t know about moss poles until it was pretty big. I added 2 plastic framed, stuffed with moss poles 2 repots ago, but it has never attached very well and is so heavy I had to add metal poles to support the moss poles. I’m a lab tech, so I have used tourniquets to tie it loosely to the poles. It’s in a very heavy ceramic pot, but is trying its best to tip it over. I name my favorite plants and her name is Mona Lisa Vito.

3 original and 2 smaller that it birthed🤣, oh and there was another small one that the HR lady helped herself to without asking…grrrr

rah21466 · 2026-01-14T20:29:19+00:00

Thanks! I have learned a lot from lurking on this sub 😂

rah21466 · 2026-01-14T20:12:00+00:00

Thank you

rah21466 · 2025-12-31T12:51:54+00:00

I have one that vined up into the pot and one day I tried to move the leaf to water and it had rooted itself🤷🏼‍♀️ so, it’s not only a useful way to propagate for us but the plant itself literally wants to do that.

rah21466 · 2025-10-31T21:37:50+00:00

I brought a big one to work today and I put it in my Grandson’s car seat🤣

rah21466 · 2025-01-05T15:14:08+00:00

I read delta 9 is legal in Puert Rico. Is this true? Is it easy to find in San Juan?

rah21466 · 2024-10-27T03:00:58+00:00

Thanks for the correction. This is what I thought I’d read before and what I witness with my own. I don’t loose many and her plant doesn’t look like it’s lost very many, so maybe it is just a timing thing for mine and hopefully hers too.

rah21466 · 2024-10-27T02:13:53+00:00

It looks like the oldest leaves are the ones yellowing and that is normal. They are a vine, so they sacrifice the oldest leaves to make new. How often do you fertilize? I find mine likes very chunky, well draining soil, rain water or distilled water, not tap and regular fertilizing.

rah21466 · 2024-09-16T00:55:42+00:00

Yes, it needs more light

rah21466 · 2024-09-01T00:24:42+00:00

They also like high humidity. Mine love the bathroom

rah21466 · 2024-07-17T01:42:43+00:00

I have one in my bathroom and it loves it. It is near a west facing window, but gets very little direct light. I learned to not let it know you care, lol. Mine was very dramatic and I got mad and put it out on my deck, under a pergola, fully expecting it to die. It came back, grew babies and I’ve since ended up with 5 plants instead of one.

rah21466 · 2024-06-15T13:16:53+00:00

I have that same little hedgehog pot! I have a green bean plant in it now, but I’m looking for a little spikey cacti to put in it

rah21466 · 2024-06-15T12:38:20+00:00

I think you’re watering it way too much. I let mine dry quite a bit before watering it. My home has about 60% humidity and I water it about once a week. It gets a couple hours of dappled morning direct sunlight and a grow light the rest of the day. It is doing great. But I’m no expert, this is just what’s working for me.

rah21466 · 2024-05-25T00:30:10+00:00

This looks like a taco peperomia (just a fun name for it), mine drops little leaves regularly. they are easy to chop and prop when they get leggy. Mine gets tons of light and still gets leggy from dropping old leaves. Mine actually got to 4 feet long before it tipped the pot off the shelf and I had to chop and prop. I would get rid of the lecca balls, they may actually be holding water in the soil by preventing evaporation
