Plant Care Tips:

Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate some shade, optimal growth occurs with ample sunlight. Avoid intense, direct midday sun.   
Watering: Succulents prefer infrequent watering. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot. Overwatering is a common cause of decline.   
Soil: Use a well-draining soil mix specifically formulated for succulents or cacti. This will help prevent waterlogging.   
Fertilizer: Feed sparingly with a diluted succulent fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer).   
Temperature: Prefers average room temperatures. Avoid exposing to extreme cold or heat.
Light Level: Bright, indirect light   

Toxicity: Caution advised! The Crassula Hottentot is considered toxic to both pets and humans. Keep out of reach of children and animals. Handling the plant may cause skin irritation in some individuals.   

Additional Tips:

Propagation: Easily propagated from stem cuttings. Allow cuttings to dry for a few days before planting in well-draining soil.   
Pests: Watch for common succulent pests like mealybugs and scale. Treat promptly if detected.
With proper care, your Crassula Hottentot will reward you with its charming appearance and low-maintenance nature
