The most important rule is to let the soil dry out completely between waterings. Because it is a succulent, it stores water in its leaves, so it is much safer to underwater than to overwater. During the winter months, you can reduce watering even further.

No, the Crassula 'Silver Dollar' is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best to keep this plant on a high shelf or in a room that your pets cannot access.

This means the plant should be placed near a window where it gets plenty of natural light, but not direct sun hitting its leaves, which can cause scorching. A spot near an east-facing window or a few feet back from a south-facing window is usually perfect.

While it starts small, the Crassula 'Silver Dollar' is a slow grower. In its current 4-inch pot, it will maintain a compact, architectural shape for quite some time, making it ideal for desks or shelves.

A healthy, well-lit Crassula will have compact, sturdy growth. If you notice the stems stretching out or the leaves becoming sparse and dropping, it is likely reaching for more light and should be moved to a brighter location.
