Care Tips
Light: Crassula Baby Necklace loves to stay in sunny locations but they cannot tolerate the scorching sun. Therefore, make sure to keep the plant in a spot that receives morning sunlight and becomes shady in the afternoon. The afternoon sunlight is more intense and can burn your delicate plant. In other words, make sure your Crassula Baby Necklace receives full sun in the morning, partial shade in the afternoon, and light shade in the evening.
Water: The Crassula Baby Necklace is resistant to drought. However, make sure to water the plant when the soil is dry to touch and do not water it again until it drains completely. Make sure the water does not sit at the bottom of the plant pot or else it will lead to rot and fungal diseases. In the hot season, water the Crassula Baby Necklace about once a week. However, in the winter, make sure to water it only once in three weeks.
Soil: Use soil that’s well draining. Generally, it’s best to choose a soil with a large proportion of granular matter and less peat soil.
Potting: It is recommended to use ceramic pots. Ceramic pots have a certain degree of permeability. Clay pots lose water too quickly, and plastic pots tend to retain water for too long and permeability is poor.
Temperature: The Crassula Baby Necklace will thrive in average summer temperatures from 65ºF to 70ºF. However, in the winter, this baby succulent can survive 50ºF temperatures. For this reason, it makes a perfect plant for most cold regions. However, if the cold temperatures start causing damage to your plant, bring it indoors.
Humidity: Baby’s Necklace grows well in average household humidity levels when grown indoors. Does not like too much humidity.

To ensure the health of succulents, it is important to plant them in porous, well-draining soil. Succulents require little watering, but don't like to sit in wet soil. To create an adequate cactus mix, simply add pumice, perlite, or grit to cactus soil to provide the proper drainage.
Make sure to leave drought periods between waterings to prevent the plant from water-logging.
