  •   Crassula orbicularis var. rosularis is a clumping succulent in the Crassulaceae family, native to rocky slopes and grasslands of South Africa. It evolved to handle drought and bright sun with ease, growing indoors or outdoors as an addition to any collection.

      The plant forms tight, symmetrical rosettes of fleshy, spoon-shaped leaves that layer as clusters spread and multiply. Leaf color ranges from soft green to purple-tinged, deepening with stronger light exposure. The low, compact clustering habit means each pot gradually fills with a dense arrangement of rosettes.

      Small flowers appear on slender stalks when the plant experiences cooler nighttime temperatures, typically in autumn or after a period outdoors. Move it outside for summer or expose it to cool autumn nights to encourage blooming.

      Rotate the pot every few weeks for even, balanced growth, and keep it away from direct blasts of air conditioning or heating vents. The plant handles warm, dry indoor air without issue. You can leave it up to ten days without water. Protect it from heavy rain and soggy conditions, which damage the roots.

  •   Crassula orbicularis var. rosularis grows well in bright indirect light to partial or full sun, ideally near an east or west-facing window.

      Water it deeply every 10 to 14 days in summer, cutting back to once a month in winter when growth slows.

      Crassula Rosularis does best in well-draining cactus and succulent mix blended with perlite at roughly a 2:1 ratio.

      It prefers temperatures between 60 and 80°F and should be protected from frost below 30°F.

      Crassula Rosularis is a slow to moderate grower that benefits from diluted balanced fertilizer once or twice during the active growing season.

      It is hardy in USDA zones 9 through 11, tolerating brief dips to around 30°F but preferring frost-free conditions year-round. It grows outdoors in California, Arizona, Texas, Florida, Hawaii, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, and Nevada. It can be grown outside seasonally along the Oregon coast and in sheltered spots in New Mexico, with indoor overwintering recommended for everywhere north of zone 9, including North Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas, and beyond.
  • Q: How often should I water Crassula orbicularis var. rosularis?
    A: Water deeply every 10 to 14 days in warm months and once a month in winter. Let the soil dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot.

    Q: Is this plant safe for pets?
    A: Crassula orbicularis var. rosularis can cause skin irritation if its sap contacts a pet's skin or paws, and ingestion may be harmful. Keep it on a high shelf out of reach of curious cats, dogs, and toddlers.

    Q: What window direction works best indoors for Crassula Rosularis?
    A: East or west-facing windows are ideal. Avoid intense south-facing direct sun, which can scorch the leaves.

    Q: How do I propagate this plant?
    A: Crassula Rosularis naturally produces offsets as it clusters, which can be gently separated and potted individually. Division of offsets is the easiest and most reliable method, though leaf cuttings are also possible.

    Q: How large does Crassula Rosularis get?
    A: Individual rosettes typically reach 2 to 4 inches across, though the clump spreads wider over time. It stays compact and suits windowsills, small pots, and mixed succulent arrangements.

    Q: Can I move this plant outside during summer?
    A: Crassula Rosularis loves spending summer outdoors in a bright, sheltered spot. Just protect it from heavy rain and bring it back inside before temperatures drop near freezing in autumn.

    🌵 For Succulents
    When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
    Please remove your plants from their packaging right away and follow the care instructions included with your order. Succulents prefer to dry out between waterings, so only water when the soil is completely dry.
    Succulents are resilient plants and typically recover quickly once they settle into their new environment. Give them a few days to adjust before placing them in direct sunlight, and avoid fertilizing right away.
