About Crassula
 
Crassula is a large genus of easy-growing succulent plants, ranging from small compact plants to large tree-like shrubs. The species in South African is commonly referred to as “Plakkies” in Afrikaans. It is a widespread genus, found mainly in South Africa, but also northwards in Africa and in Madagascar.
 
The variability in the genus presents an array of plant forms, sizes, leaf shapes, colours and textures. This spectrum of features makes them excellent plants for container gardening, the rockery or used in larger landscapes.
 
Caring for your Crassula
 
Pot: Crassulas do very well in containers or in the garden. The smaller species are best suited to containers, whereas the larger growing species does well in the garden or rockery.
 
Soil: The plants are very willing and can adapt to most soil types as long as they are well drained.
 
Light: The brighter the light, the more colourful and compact your plants will be. Crassulas do grow in shady conditions but become leggy over time.
 
Water: Most Crassulas enjoy weekly watering or every second week, depending on the species and the growing conditions. When well established, the plants are very drought hardy.
