When to fertilize

What to inspect

RHS gives general liquid fertilizer about monthly during spring and summer for Crassula ovata. Treat that as an active-growth example, not a fixed reminder for every room or cultivar.

What changes it

Keep the monthly spring–summer cadence separate from winter care: RHS describes winter feeding as very sparing rather than routine active-growth feeding. Light, temperature and dormancy can change the season in an individual home.

Follow the product label

Fertilizer type and dose

The species-specific guidance supports a general liquid fertilizer. It does not require a named brand or prove that every slow-release product, succulent formulation or garden fertilizer is interchangeable.
