  •   Crassula Ivory Towers - Crassula x perforata is a hybrid succulent from the Crassulaceae family, bred from South African species native to rocky, semi-arid landscapes. It has become popular among both beginner and experienced collectors for its sculptural upright form and minimal care needs.

      The plant grows in a tight, upright, clumping habit with small triangular leaves stacked in neat opposing pairs along each stem, creating a four-sided column effect. Foliage is soft gray-green, sometimes edged with a faint blush, and the densely layered stems give it a geometric structure that stands out in any succulent collection.

      Under the right conditions, it produces clusters of tiny, pale star-shaped flowers during cooler months when exposed to a nighttime temperature drop.

      Place it on a sunny windowsill, a patio table in summer, or grouped with other succulents in a mixed dish garden. Move it outdoors once temperatures warm up, though it needs shelter from rain to prevent root rot. Keep it on a high shelf away from pets and small children, since the sap can cause skin and paw irritation. You can leave it up to ten days without water.

  •   Crassula Ivory Towers - Crassula x perforata grows well in bright indirect light to partial or direct sun, and rotates well for even, balanced growth.

      Water it deeply every 10-14 days in summer, reducing to once a month or less in winter, allowing soil to dry completely between waterings.

      Crassula Ivory Towers does best in a fast-draining succulent and cactus mix blended with extra perlite for optimal drainage.

      It prefers temperatures between 60-85°F and should be brought indoors before temperatures drop below 40°F.

      Crassula Ivory Towers is a slow to moderate grower that benefits from a diluted balanced fertilizer applied once in spring and once in summer.

      It is hardy in USDA zones 9-11, tolerating brief dips no lower than around 25-30°F with protection. It grows outdoors year-round in California, Arizona, Texas, Florida, Hawaii, Nevada, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, and coastal Oregon. It also grows well in the warmer pockets of New Mexico, coastal North Carolina, and similar zone 9 microclimates with minimal frost protection.
  • Q: How often should I water Crassula Ivory Towers - Crassula x perforata?
    A: Water deeply every 10-14 days during the growing season, then cut back to once a month or less in winter. Let the soil dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot.

    Q: Is it safe for pets?
    A: Crassula Ivory Towers - Crassula x perforata is not pet-friendly; the sap can cause skin and paw irritation and may be harmful if ingested. Keep it on a high shelf well out of reach of pets and small children.

    Q: What light conditions does Crassula Ivory Towers need?
    A: A sunny east or west-facing windowsill works best. Rotate the pot regularly so all sides develop evenly and avoid prolonged harsh south-window exposure that can scorch the leaves.

    Q: Can I move outdoors for the summer?
    A: Crassula Ivory Towers loves spending summer outdoors in a bright, sheltered spot with cover from rain. Bring it back inside before nighttime temperatures drop below 40°F.

    Q: How do I propagate Crassula Ivory Towers?
    A: Use stem cuttings. Let the cut end callous for a day or two, then place it in dry succulent mix and water lightly once roots appear after a couple of weeks.

    Q: Will it survive while I'm away on a trip?
    A: Crassula Ivory Towers can go 10 days or more without water. Water it well before you leave and place it in a bright spot.

    🌵 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.
