  •   Crassula nudicaulis var. herrei is a rare drought-tolerant succulent from the Crassulaceae family, native to the rocky, arid regions of South Africa. It belongs to the Crassula genus, a diverse group known for its resilience and sculptural appeal.

      It forms a compact, upright, clumping habit with tightly clustered rosettes. The leaves are fleshy and smooth, carrying the characteristic thickness of the genus, with dense clustering that stands out on any shelf or windowsill. Its structured, clustering growth form distinguishes it from more common succulents.

      Like many Crassula species, it may benefit from a nighttime temperature drop to encourage blooming. While specific bloom details for this variety remain limited, the clumping form makes it suitable for display regardless of flowering season.

      Move it outside in summer to soak up natural sun, though provide cover from rain to protect roots from oversaturation. Keep it on a high shelf away from pets and small children, as cats and dogs shouldn't nibble on it. It tolerates dry heated air well, though avoid positioning it directly near air conditioning or heating vents.

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

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

      Crassula Herrei performs best in a well-draining cactus and succulent mix blended with perlite or coarse grit.

      It prefers temperatures between 50-85°F and should be brought indoors before frost arrives.

      Crassula Herrei is a slow to moderate grower that needs only a light balanced fertilizer once in spring and once in summer.

      It is hardy in USDA zones 10-11, tolerating minimum temperatures down to 30-35°F before frost becomes a serious risk. It grows outdoors year-round in southern Florida, Hawaii, southern California, coastal and southern Texas, and southern Arizona. Parts of Louisiana, southern Georgia, southern South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, and Nevada's warmer valleys can also support it, though gardeners in those areas should be ready to protect it during unexpected cold snaps.

    🌵 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.
