Crassula plegmatoides quick care tips

Watering

Crassula plegmatoides 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 plegmatoides 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 plegmatoides 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 plegmatoides

This unusual Crassula species is native to South Africa. The name originates from Latin meaning 'pleat-like' when translated to English.

It grows to layers of leaves almost always upright, it tends to grow relatively slowly and it may produce new shoots from the base. In late summer it produces small flowers which grow on long thin stems. These are attractive to small pollinators. Will do best indoors on a bright windowsill planted in its own pot or with other succulents.
