    •   Crassula pubescens ssp. radicans is a succulent from the Crassulaceae family, native to the rocky slopes and grasslands of South Africa. Also called red carpet crassula or red carpet stonecrop, it spreads in dense, trailing mats across containers and ground spaces with minimal attention. The foliage shifts from soft green in lower light to burgundy-red under bright sun as seasons change.

        The plant forms clustering rosettes of tiny fleshy leaves that turn burgundy-red under bright sun, staying soft green in lower light. Its trailing and clumping growth habit creates a carpet-like appearance across pots and baskets, with tightly packed foliage. Leaf color intensity tracks directly with sun exposure.

        Small white to pale pink star-shaped flowers appear in late winter to spring above the foliage. A drop in nighttime temperatures during autumn can encourage blooming, so placing it on a cool windowsill or moving it outdoors in fall may trigger flowers. Crassula Radicans can remain unwatered for up to ten days. It works well in hanging baskets, trailing over pot edges, or as a ground cover in frost-free zones. Because it may cause irritation if touched or ingested, keep it away from small children and curious pets. Crassula Radicans propagates easily from stem cuttings or naturally clustering offsets. Let cuttings callous for a day or two before placing them in dry succulent mix, then water sparingly until roots form.

The foliage shifts from soft green in lower light to burgundy-red under bright sun as seasons change.

    •   Crassula pubescens ssp. radicans thrives in partial to full sun, with the deepest red color developing under direct sun exposure.

        Water it every 10-14 days during the growing season, letting the soil dry out completely between waterings, then reduce to once a month or less in winter.

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

        It prefers temperatures between 50-80°F and is not frost tolerant below about 25°F.

        Crassula Radicans is a moderate grower that benefits from a light balanced succulent fertilizer applied once in spring and once in early summer.

        It is hardy in USDA zones 9-11, tolerating brief dips to around 25°F but struggling with prolonged frost. It grows outdoors year-round in California, Arizona, Texas, Florida, Hawaii, Nevada, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, and Mississippi, as well as coastal areas of Oregon and Washington. In cooler states including New Mexico, Arkansas, North Carolina, and parts of Virginia, it can succeed in a sheltered microclimate or be brought indoors through winter.

    • Q: How often should I water Crassula pubescens ssp. radicans?
      A: Water it every 10-14 days during the growing season with complete soil drying between waterings. In winter, reduce to once a month or less. Watch the leaves—they'll feel less firm when the plant is thirsty.

      Q: Is it safe for pets and children?
      A: Crassula pubescens ssp. radicans may cause irritation if ingested or touched by pets and small children, so place it out of reach.

      Q: How much light does Crassula Radicans actually need?
      A: Partial to full sun keeps it healthy, but position it where it receives at least 4-6 hours of direct light daily to achieve the deepest burgundy tones. Rotate the pot regularly for balanced growth.

      Q: Can I grow this outdoors year-round?
      A: Crassula Radicans can stay outside year-round in USDA zones 9-11 in a frost-free spot, or move it indoors in cooler climates before winter temperatures drop below 25°F.

      Q: How do I propagate Crassula Radicans?
      A: Separate naturally clustering offsets or snip 1-2 inch stem segments. Let them air dry for one to two days until the cut end feels papery, then tuck them into dry succulent mix and hold off watering for two to three weeks before the first light misting.

      Q: How big does it get?
      A: Crassula Radicans typically stays low at 3-6 inches tall while spreading outward in a trailing mat, making it suitable for hanging baskets and ground-cover plantings.

      🌵 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.
