Crassula

Crassula are flowering succulent plants that make for popular houseplants. A few species are aquatic and often live in brackish water but can become invasive in waterways due to their aggressive growth rate. Terrestrial species make great container plants and are easy to grow. However, many crassula die after flowering.

Water: Crassula thrives in arid conditions with exceptional drought tolerance, storing water in its succulent leaves. Watering should be minimal, approximately once every three weeks. It is ideal for indoor environments, benefiting from stable temperatures and variable humidity.

Propagation: Propagate crassula via leaf or stem cuttings in bright indirect light and well-draining soil. Allow cuttings to callous for 1-3 days before planting. Water sparingly until roots develop, then gradually increase watering as growth occurs for optimal success.
