Crassula Brevifolia, native to South Africa, has thick, fleshy, triangulated green leaves with a rough, fuzzy texture borne on woody branches.
It grows small shrubs of up to 20 inches (50 cm) tall. The leaves will get a red-brown margin in full sun.
Pale pink flower clusters bloom in early fall.
All of the plants will be shipped bare root.
Full Sun, Sun to Partial Shade, Light Shade.
Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch, then let drain completely. Avoid letting water sit for too long in the soil to prevent rot and fungal diseases.
Porous and well-drained. Optimal pH is around 6.0 (slightly acidic).
Average summer temperatures from 65ºF/18ºC to 70ºF/21ºC are ideal. In winter, it can survive temperatures as low as 50ºF/10ºC.
Feed with a controlled-release fertilizer at the beginning of the growing season.
You can propagate Crassula Brevifolia by division, offsets or leaf cuttings. The easiest way is to propagate from a single leaf: put the leaf in a succulent or cacti mix, then cover until it sprouts.
USDA Hardiness Zone from 9a: 20 to 25 °F to 9b: 25 to 30 °FThis was my first order with Succulents Box and I’m very happy with the experience. The Crassula Brevifolia arrived in excellent condition, it actually had blooms, which was so nice to see. It came packaged very nicely and with a little care card, which was helpful. I totally overlooked where it says these plants are shipped bare root, so I wasn’t quite prepared to pot them up upon receipt. That was my mistake, but I thought I would mention it in case anyone else overlooked that detail. I just put them in a dark place on a tray and lightly misted them for a couple days until I could pot them. My new brevifolia is now doing great in a south facing window under a grow light, along with the donkey’s tail and giant watch chain I also got from Succulents Box. I will definitely order again!
