Crassula alba 'Garnet Lotus' is a small, rosette-forming succulent with vibrant red coloring and compact size. A hybrid from the Crassulaceae family, its ancestry traces back to southern Africa, where many Crassula species evolved in dry, rocky areas. 'Garnet Lotus' forms tight rosettes of thick, fleshy leaves that intensify in color under bright light, turning deep garnet-red, especially toward the edges. Its neat, sculptural form and rich coloring make it a striking choice for container gardens, succulent bowls, and windowsill displays.
The leaves of Garnet Lotus are smooth, slightly pointed, and arranged in a symmetrical rosette about 3 to 5 inches wide when mature. Under lower light, the leaves may stay more greenish, but with more sun exposure, they develop their signature garnet tones. As the plant matures, it may produce offsets (pups) around the base, slowly forming small clusters of rosettes over time. Occasionally, small white or pinkish flowers may appear on short stalks, but this Crassula is mainly grown for its foliage rather than its blooms.
Crassula plants are different from many succulents like Echeveria in that they often develop thicker, bushier growth habits over time, sometimes becoming shrubby with age. Many Crassulas, including Garnet Lotus, are adapted to handle stronger sunlight and periods of drought, although they still need protection from the hottest, direct afternoon sun. Their thick, waxy leaves help conserve moisture and give them a slightly glossy appearance compared to the softer, more velvety leaves of some other succulent groups.
Thanks to its small size and vibrant coloring, Crassula alba 'Garnet Lotus' fits easily into mixed succulent gardens or small, detailed arrangements. It works well either as a single focal point or tucked among other compact succulents for a variety of textures and colors. Like most Crassulas, it is easy to maintain as long as the soil is allowed to dry between waterings and the plant is protected from frost.
Prefers bright, indirect light or several hours of morning sun. Too little light will cause the colors to fade, while harsh afternoon sun can scorch the leaves.
Water thoroughly when the soil is completely dry, allowing excess water to drain freely. In cooler months, reduce watering to prevent root rot.
Adapts well to low to moderate indoor humidity. Good air circulation helps keep the foliage healthy and free from fungal issues.
Grows best in temperatures between 60–80°F. Protect from frost and temperatures below 40°F, as freezing can severely damage the plant.
Requires a well-draining succulent soil mix, ideally with added sand or perlite. Proper drainage is essential to avoid soggy conditions around the roots.
Feed lightly once a month during the growing season with a diluted balanced fertilizer. Avoid heavy fertilizing, which can cause stretched or weakened growth.
Crassula species are considered mildly toxic to pets if ingested, potentially causing mild gastrointestinal upset. Keep the plant out of reach of curious animals.

Provide porous soil with adequate drainage, pots with drainage hole are recommended. Bright, filtered
light and ample airflow. Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Never let your succulents sit in water. Do
NOT water on the leaves. If you water from beneath by letting the plant sit in a saucer of water, make sure to pour
off any excess water after a few minutes.
The hotter it is outside, the faster your soil will dry out, so you’ll need to water more often if you live in a hot
area. Water with caution in winter, as the plant can lose its roots if the soil stays cold and wet for extended
periods; protect from frost to prevent scarring.
