  •   Crassula rupestris Rosary Vine is a charming drought tolerant succulent native to the rocky outcrops and dry scrublands of South Africa. It belongs to the Crassula genus within the Crassulaceae family, naturally adapted to survive long dry spells and intense sun. This easy care plant has earned a loyal following among succulent collectors and casual plant lovers alike.

      What makes Crassula rupestris Rosary Vine so instantly recognizable is its stacked, bead-like leaves threaded along wiry stems, creating the look of a tiny green rosary or necklace. The small, rounded leaves are fleshy and compact, often flushed with red or yellow edges when given enough light. The plant grows in a trailing, clumping, and upright style simultaneously, giving it a sculptural, layered texture that stands out in any collection.

      Crassula rupestris Rosary Vine produces small, star-shaped flowers in shades of white to pale pink, typically appearing in late winter through spring. Blooms are delicate and appear in clusters at the stem tips, and a cool night temperature drop encourages the plant to flower more reliably. While not powerfully fragrant, the blossoms add a sweet finishing touch to an already captivating plant.

      Crassula rupestris Rosary Vine is a fantastic choice for hanging baskets, where its trailing stems can spill beautifully over the edge, so make sure to give it a hanging hook to show it off properly. It works wonderfully in terrariums and can move outside for summer in a sheltered spot, though it needs cover from rain to prevent rot. Keep it away from direct AC or heater vents, as blowing air stresses the stems, and rotate the pot regularly for even, balanced growth. A rare collector find that also releases oxygen at night, this rosary vine succulent is as practical as it is pretty, and it can even survive a 10-day trip alone without missing a beat.

  •   Crassula rupestris Rosary Vine thrives in bright indirect light to partial or full sun, but may scorch in intense south-facing windows.

      Water Crassula rupestris Rosary Vine thoroughly every 10-14 days in summer, and reduce to once every 3-4 weeks in winter.

      Crassula rupestris Rosary Vine does best in a well-draining cactus and succulent mix blended with extra perlite for aeration.

      Crassula rupestris Rosary Vine prefers temperatures between 60-85°F (15-29°C) and should be protected from frost below 25°F (-4°C).

      Crassula rupestris Rosary Vine is a slow to moderate grower and benefits from a light, balanced succulent fertilizer once in spring and once in summer.

      Crassula rupestris Rosary Vine is hardy in USDA Zones 9-11, tolerating brief dips to around 25°F (-4°C) but performing best where winters stay mild. Outdoor growers in California, Arizona, Texas, Florida, Hawaii, Nevada, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, and coastal Oregon can enjoy Crassula rupestris Rosary Vine year-round in garden beds or containers. Gardeners in borderline Zone 9 areas including parts of New Mexico, Arkansas, and the Pacific Northwest coast can also grow it outdoors with minimal winter protection.

    Q: Can I grow Crassula rupestris Rosary Vine outside in summer?
    A: Yes, Crassula rupestris Rosary Vine loves spending summer outdoors in a bright, sheltered spot. Make sure to provide cover from rain and bring it back inside before temperatures drop in autumn.

    Q: How big does Crassula rupestris Rosary Vine get?

    🌵 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.
