Plant Care Notes:

• Sunlight: Prefers full sun to bright, indirect light. Full sun enhances the color and vibrancy of the leaves.
• Watering: Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot.
• Soil: Requires a well-draining cactus or succulent mix with added perlite or pumice for optimal drainage.

• Dormancy: Crassula rupestris 'High Voltage' is generally summer dormant, meaning it requires less water during the hotter months, and growth slows down.
• Propagation: Easily propagated by stem or leaf cuttings. Allow the cut ends to callous before replanting in well-draining soil.
• Pests: Generally pest-resistant but may occasionally attract mealybugs or aphids. Regular inspections help maintain plant health.
