Watering
Watering
Crassula ovata variegata 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.

Crassula ovata variegata 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.

Crassula ovata variegata 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 ovata variegata
A beautifully variegated version of Crassula ovata.
The cream-white coloured leaves stand out from the crowd. In bright light, pink tinges appear on the edge of the leaves. This plant will continue to grow past expectations, eventually filling the space any pot you decide to plant it in, given the time as it can take up to 50 years to reach full potential.
This acts as a great houseplant due to the fact it can withstand very low light levels without much distress, although you may find it to grow fastest and look its best under lighter conditions. A beautiful plant for anyone to look after.
