  •   Crassula Variegata, also called Calico Kitten, is a trailing succulent in the Crassulaceae family native to South Africa. It grows in rocky, sun-drenched terrain and is valued by succulent collectors for its cascading stems and variegated foliage.

      The leaves are small and heart-shaped, clustering densely along trailing stems. They blend creamy white, green, and rosy pink to deep purple tones, with colors intensifying under brighter light. The stems cascade over pot edges, creating a soft, billowing effect.

      Given a cool night temperature drop, it can produce small, star-shaped white flowers typical of the Crassula genus. The blooms are modest but sweet, appearing in their season.

      Move it to a hanging basket, high shelf, or any spot where trailing stems can cascade freely. You can leave it up to ten days without water. It is pet-safe and non-toxic to cats and dogs. Stem and leaf cuttings root easily when laid on dry succulent soil. The plant typically trails 12–24 inches in a hanging basket but stays compact in smaller pots.

  •   Calico Kitten Crassula - Crassula pellucida f. variegata grows well in bright indirect light or partial sun, and rotates well for even, balanced growth.

      Water it every 10–14 days, allowing the soil to dry completely between waterings.

      Crassula Variegata does best in a fast-draining succulent or cactus mix blended with perlite.

      It prefers temperatures between 65–80°F and is not frost-hardy below 30°F.

      Crassula Variegata is a moderate grower needing only light, diluted succulent fertilizer once monthly in spring and summer.

      It is hardy in USDA zones 10 and 11, tolerating brief dips to around 30°F but no sustained frost. It grows outdoors year-round in Florida, Hawaii, Southern California, coastal Texas, Arizona's low desert, Louisiana, southern Mississippi, Alabama, and South Carolina's coastal areas. In the warmer pockets of Nevada, Georgia, and Oregon's mild coast, it also does well outdoors with seasonal protection.
  • Q: How often should I water Calico Kitten Crassula - Crassula pellucida f. variegata?

    🌵 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.
