  •   Crassula sarmentosa f. variegata is a charming variegated trailing succulent native to South Africa, where it scrambles across rocky slopes and scrubby hillsides in warm, dry conditions. Part of the vast Crassulaceae family, this easy care trailing jade plant has become a favorite among succulent collectors and casual growers alike for its low-maintenance nature and eye-catching foliage.

      Crassula sarmentosa f. variegata produces small, rounded to slightly pointed leaves edged with bright creamy yellow and lime green variegation, giving each stem a vivid two-toned look. The trailing, vining stems can cascade beautifully from a hanging basket, making it one of the most visually striking hanging basket succulents you can grow indoors or out. New growth often flushes with warmer gold tones, and the compact, fleshy leaves have the slightly serrated margins typical of the species.

      Crassula sarmentosa f. variegata can produce clusters of small star-shaped white to pale pink flowers, characteristic of the Crassula genus, typically appearing in cooler months when nights are longer and temperatures drop. A night temperature drop encourages blooming, so moving this trailing succulent to a cooler spot in autumn can reward you with a lovely flush of delicate flowers.

      Crassula sarmentosa f. variegata is a perfect candidate for a hanging hook near a bright window, where its vining stems can trail freely and show off those green yellow variegated leaves at their best. It can move outside for summer to soak up natural light, but keep it covered from rain to prevent waterlogged roots. Because cats, dogs, and small children shouldn't be left to nibble or eat the plant, and the sap can cause mild skin and paw irritation, it is best placed on a high shelf well out of reach. This drought tolerant succulent can comfortably survive a 10-day trip without watering, making it an ideal low maintenance succulent for busy plant lovers and frequent travelers.

  •   Crassula sarmentosa f. variegata thrives in bright indirect light to partial or full sun, but may scorch in intense south-facing windows during summer.

      Water Crassula sarmentosa f. variegata thoroughly every 10-14 days in summer and reduce to once every 3-4 weeks in winter, allowing soil to dry fully between waterings.

      Crassula sarmentosa f. variegata performs best in a well-draining succulent and cactus mix blended with extra perlite for improved drainage.

      Crassula sarmentosa f. variegata prefers temperatures between 60-85°F (15-29°C) and should be brought indoors before temperatures drop below 40°F (4°C).

      Crassula sarmentosa f. variegata is a fast growing succulent; feed with a diluted balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during the active growing season.

      Crassula sarmentosa f. variegata is hardy in USDA Zones 9-11, tolerating minimum temperatures down to around 25-30°F (-3 to -1°C) only briefly, and performs best where winters stay mild. Outdoor year-round growing is well suited to California, Arizona, Texas, Florida, Hawaii, Nevada, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, and Mississippi, as well as sheltered coastal areas of Oregon and Washington. Gardeners across these states can enjoy Crassula sarmentosa f. variegata in garden beds, containers, or patio planters with minimal winter protection needed.

    🌵 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.
