crassula perforata leaves
Brown Leaves
The most common explanation for brown leaves on Crassula Perforata is sunburn. Although this plant can take full sun, any extreme weather or extreme changes in weather like a heatwave can cause sunburn or sun damage.
This doesn’t really internally hurt the plant as long because the problem is temporary. Prolonged sunburn under extreme heat can fry the plant to death, which went on to me, unfortunately (see picture below).
If you notice the plant constantly getting sunburned, move the plant to a shadier location or provide shade under taller plants, furniture, or sunglasses. If moving the plant to a sunnier spot, it’s an honest idea to try to so slowly so you don’t shock the plant and you provide it time to acclimate to the more intense heat. Remember, gradual changes are always better than drastic ones for any succulent plant.
Shrivelled Leaves
The most common reason for shrivelled leaves on Crassula Perforata is underwatering. The leaves will appear shrivelled, puckered and dried up. When touched, the leaves will feel flat and deflated.
When this happens, it’s a symbol that the plant is running low on its water storage and it’s time to water. Just give the plant an honest drink of water and it should perk up immediately, usually within each day approximately.
Mushy Brown Leaves
The plant will look unwell and therefore the leaves will get soft and mushy and appear translucent. These are telltale signs that you’re overwatering your plant. crop on watering and permit the plant to dry out and get over an excessive amount of water. don’t water until the plant has had an opportunity to dry out completely.
If the soil isn’t drying out fast enough, consider switching to a quick-draining one. Once you notice rot, you’ll still save the plant by isolating the dead parts of the plant. Save anything that appears green and viable to propagate and repot.
Remember, it’s easier to ‘fix’ an underwatered plant than an overwatered one so when unsure, err on the side of caution when watering especially if you’re not conversant in the plant.

Crassula perforata natural habitat
As mentioned within the intro, the string of buttons is of course found in South Africa. Here, it grows in areas which will be rather inhospitable, like rocky slopes surrounded by other bushes and shrubs.
Its sprawled growth pattern with tall stems (more than 1ft./30 cm high) and many of offsets allow the wild string of buttons to thrive and compete with other plants.
Why is my Crassula dying?
When the foliage on a jade plant is drooping otherwise you appear to possess a dying jade plant, the standard cause is improper watering. In spring, summer and fall, keep the soil lightly moist. The plant takes a rest break in winter and wishes less water. Overwatering in winter is that the commonest reason for a dying jade plant.
How does one save in dying Crassula?
Generally, keep the soil moist, not wet, from spring until fall while your jade plant is actively growing. Then allow it to dry out between waterings in winter. Always water thoroughly with 1 inch of water and avoid getting the leaves wet.
How often do you have to water button strings?
Once the cut has healed and dried, stick the cuttings during a well-draining potting mix. prevent from direct sunlight. After about fortnight approximately, you’ll notice new roots growing.
