Crassula Springtime: easy, small, fragrant and colorful succulent plant for indoor cultivation in U

Crassula «Springtime» is a Crassula hybrid, a very beautiful slow growing succulent for cultivation indoors in cold climates, but can be cultivated outdoors in frost free environment and as long as it has protection against excessive rain, because as many succulents, can't stand wet and waterlogged soil. It grows up to 15-20 cm tall, with grey-green to dark green leaves, very thick, ovoidal almost triangular, producing flower clusters up to 5 cm across, with small flowers pink with red centre, very pleasantly scented, almost like a daisy or a chrysanthemum, with notes of camomille. I cultivate this plant in well drained soil, in an eastern facing window, indoors (I live in Kent, England, UK), but I think this plant would really thrive better in brighter light, so a southern facing windowsill in full sun, as my plant looks a bit etiolated even if still manages to grow and bloom without problems. I water it once every two weeks from mid-spring to summer and once every 4-6 weeks from autumn to early spring. It is very easy to cultivate but sensitive to mealybugs, this plant in particular is affected by these parasites so I am currently treating it. It is one of the most beautiful succulent plants to cultivate, and one of my favourite.
