  •   Crassula Tetragona, also called Miniature Pine Tree, is a South African succulent in the Crassulaceae family native to rocky, sun-drenched regions where rainfall is sparse and seasonal. Its needle-like leaves are arranged in tight whorls along upright woody stems, creating a silhouette that resembles a tiny pine tree.

      The bright green, firm leaves cluster densely along thickening brown stems that grow upright and produce offsets over time, filling a pot with a grove-like display. The contrast between the slender needle-like foliage and the woody branch structure gives it a sculptural, bonsai-like form. It reaches 18-24 inches tall indoors and clusters outward slowly as offsets develop, staying compact enough for shelves, windowsills, and desk containers.

      When temperatures drop at night, it produces clusters of small, creamy-white flowers at the stem tips, typically in spring or summer. At night, it releases oxygen, making it a thoughtful addition to a bedroom or living space.

      Move it outside in summer to soak up warmth; in mild climates it can remain outdoors into autumn before frost arrives. You can leave it up to ten days without water. Keep it on a high shelf away from pets and toddlers, as it can be dangerous if ingested. Crassula Tetragona grows slowly to moderately, offering bold, vertical structure.

  •   Crassula tetragona Miniature Pine grows well in bright indirect light and benefits from regular rotation to maintain even, balanced growth on all sides.

      Water it every 10-14 days during summer and reduce to once every 3-4 weeks in winter, allowing soil to dry completely between waterings.

      Crassula Tetragona performs best in a fast-draining cactus and succulent mix blended with extra perlite for optimal root health and drainage.

      It prefers temperatures between 65-80°F and must be protected from frost, as it is not frost tolerant below 30°F.

      Crassula Tetragona benefits from diluted balanced succulent fertilizer applied once monthly during spring and summer.

      It is hardy in USDA zones 9-11, tolerating minimum temperatures down to around 25-30°F before frost damage occurs. It grows outdoors year-round in California, Arizona, Texas, Florida, Hawaii, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, and Nevada. It also grows well along the mild Oregon and Washington coasts, as well as in protected microclimates across New Mexico and parts of Arkansas and North Carolina that fall within zone 9.

    🌵 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.
