Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is the most common cause of problems, leading to root rot. Water thoroughly when the soil is dry, ensuring excess water can drain away.

Reduce watering significantly during winter dormancy.

Pruning is generally minimal for Crassula barklyi. Remove any dead, damaged, or yellowing leaves as they appear.

If the plant becomes leggy or overgrown, you can prune stems back to encourage bushier growth and maintain a desirable shape. Use clean, sharp tools.

Propagate Crassula barklyi through stem cuttings or leaf cuttings. Allow cuttings to callus over for a few days before planting in well-draining soil. Roots will form within a few weeks.

This succulent can also be propagated by offsets, which can be carefully separated and repotted.

Repot your Crassula barklyi every 2-3 years, or when it outgrows its current container. Choose a pot with drainage holes and use a gritty, well-draining succulent or cactus mix.

Repotting is best done in spring or early summer, coinciding with the active growth period.
