This Crassula is drought tolerant, but its tiny leaves don't hold much water and it will need supplemental irrigation during summer, at least weekly in sun or bi-weekly in shade. Keep an eye on the leaves, as they are little water tanks that the succulent uses to store water for drier times. If the leaves begin to wrinkle, your plant is ready for water. If the lower leaves begin to shrivel up and shed, this is also a sign that your plant is ready for a drink.

Notas de cultivo

Low growing bushy crassulas need meticulous weeding in the garden; otherwise the weeds get tangled and intermingled with the succulents, and they are difficult to remove.

These smaller crassulas are an excellent choice for pots, where they can be appreciated up close, but they don't want to be in a lot of hot sun in a small pot without regular water.

Interés especial

Small crassulas are some of the best succulents for indoors, and their unique shapes make them wonderful focal points in a bright room or one with a little direct sun.
