Crassula clavata quick care tips

Watering

Crassula clavata is a drought-tolerant succulent variety, so watering around once per week in the peak growing season is advised. Ensure the soil dries between waterings following the 3 Ds: drench, drain and dry. It is also advised to completely stop watering when conditions are frosty, keeping the plant dry for several months at a time over winter.

Feeding

Crassula clavata likes to be fed to bring out its best forms and colours. We recommend feeding with a liquid seaweed feed every 2 weeks in the main growing season from April to September. A feed we recommend is the one from our friends at LittleGreenSeaweed.

Ideal soil

Crassula clavata needs free draining soil to thrive. We recommend a mixture of 1/3 John Innes no.2, 1/3 perlite and 1/3 coconut coir. The soil mix we offer here is similar in composition to this.

Crassula clavata

Crassula clavata is a small compact stem-less species from South Africa. In its natural habitat, it can be found growing in gritty/rocky outcrops where it thrives on very little moisture during the summer. In the cooler months, the plant will turn greener in colour as it’s growing. As the sun’s rays intensify, the deep purple/red colouring is extremely enhanced. The glaucous leaves are quite rigid and robust making this a great plant for indoors, it produces multiple stems with plenty of tiny white flowers in the spring.

This is a great companion plant for a succulent display as it’s intense bright red colouring and its compact form really complements and contrasts with many other varieties, such as Hawothias, Aloes, Gasteria and other Crassula species like ovata.
