Crassula – Living Sculptures of Sun and Stone
Crassula, a diverse and storied genus of South African succulents, includes some of the most captivating houseplants ever cultivated—from the beloved Jade Plant to the miniature stringed and stacked varieties that delight collectors. These hardy, architectural beauties thrive on neglect and reward patience with sculptural leaves, starry blooms, and enduring grace. Whether potted on a bright windowsill or spilling from an indoor rock garden crevice, Crassulas embody resilience and quiet charm. Their compact growth and water-storing leaves make them perfect for modern living—low care, high style, and endlessly fascinating.
Most Crassulas are cold-hardy in USDA Zones 9–11, though some, like Crassula ovata and Crassula arborescens, can survive brief dips near 30°F (–1°C) if kept dry. In cooler climates, they thrive indoors year-round when given bright light—ideally a south or west-facing window. Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix, and allow the soil to dry thoroughly between waterings.
Outdoors, Crassulas flourish in full sun to partial shade, particularly in mild, frost-free regions. Protect them from excessive winter moisture and freezing temperatures by moving containers under cover or into a greenhouse. Indoors or out, they prefer temperatures between 60–80°F (16–27°C) and low humidity. A little neglect suits them perfectly—just sunlight, good drainage, and time to show their sculptural beauty.
