Crassulas in general are quite drought tolerant, and these larger ones with tree-like form are extremely drought tolerant. They store water in their thick succulent stems, so in coastal California, they won't need supplemental irrigation once established. To keep them looking lush during summer, water them every two weeks to a month, or whenever the leaves start to shrivel up and fall off.

Notas de cultivo

Tree-like crassulas make excellent bonsai-style succulents in even very small pots. Prune them back hard at least once a year to keep a squat form.

Summer color is part of the natural beauty of these plants and is not a sign of trouble.

They can grow in full dry shade, but will not want any supplemental water.

Interés especial

These crassulas are easy to propagate from cuttings, but they must be completely dry and calloused over before planting. Often they will scab and then the scab can be removed, exposing a sealed smooth skin where the cut was. They can also be propagated by simply laying cuttings on the ground. The leaves are also easy to propagate and will root easily.
