Crassula 'Emerald' quick care tips

Watering

Crassula 'Emerald' 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 'Emerald' 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.

Ideal soil

Crassula 'Emerald' 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 'Emerald'

Crassula ‘Emerald’ is a hybrid of Crassula barklyi and Crassula susannae, thought to be a chance seedling in John Cooper’s collection.

As its name suggests, during off-season the plant will display a very emerald-green colouring but in the warmer, brighter months, it turns a more ruby-red. The formation is a true representative of the two parents, it has a tight snake-looking rosette which opens towards the top. During the winter, this variety will bloom with beautiful white flowers that appear from the centre of the rosette.

A great texture and solid form such as this is perfect as a house plant indoors on a bright windowsill.
