Mystery crassula with mystery issues

User
7 years ago

Hoping to solve some mysteries! Last summer, I bought
this fun little succulent. I think it's a kind of crassula, similar to the
fairy crassula, but the leaves were more light/greyish green, and flat. It had
tiny white/pink flowers at the time, also very much like crassula flowers.
However, I haven't been able to find out which exact type of crassula it might
be.


Which brings me to my next problem: I can't figure out what's wrong with my
mystery crassula! When I bought it, the leaves were a soft grey/green, but this
winter they started turning yellowish, with red edges. They also turned hard,
and got very... chaulky? It was as if they were getting some sort of limestone
build-up! It's standing in a west-facing window, which gets direct sunlight
from about 2 to 5 PM in the winter. At the time, I thought it might have been
too cold, so I moved it a little further away. But it hasn't really recovered
since. It has cactus soil, in a plastic inner pot, which sits in a wider
ceramic pot, so no drainage problems. I only water it when the leaves start
feeling dry. Does anyone know which kind of crassula this is, and what the
problem might be?

Thanks!
