# Help!! I’ve had this crassula since June this year It had a rough…

_Posted by Charli 🌷🌱 on 2025-10-12_

Help!!  
I’ve had this crassula since June this year  
It had a rough winter and the leaves were all falling off so I gave it a trim but I’m a bit worried that I might be killing it at this point :((  
It was the first plant I got so I’m very determined to keep it alive, but I was very slack with it over the winter and have only now begun to establish the proper care it needs  
Any help or advice is appreciated  
TIA

I used to own a crassula myself🪴 they are upward growing succulents, so make sure it gets plenty of light to avoid etiolation(when the plant reaches for the light cause it’s not receiving enough then becomes unhealthy).  
Since it is a smaller plant, make sure to give it a good amount of water so it doesn’t dry out.  
Good luck!☺️

It used to look like this but then a lot of the leaves died and fell off so all the stems only had 1-2 leaves at the end before I cut it back  
Do you have any tips to be able to get it growing again/fix it? Or do you reckon all I can do now is keep it watered
