  •   The Crassula Campfire Plant is a striking drought tolerant succulent belonging to the Crassula genus and the Crassulaceae family. Native to the rocky hillsides and dry scrublands of South Africa, it evolved to thrive in bright sun and lean, fast-draining soils. This color changing succulent has become a beloved favorite among collectors and beginners alike for its jaw-dropping visual drama and remarkably easy care.

      What makes the Crassula Campfire Plant instantly recognizable are its propeller-like leaves stacked in tight, cascading rows along each stem, forming a clumping and trailing rosette habit that spills beautifully over pot edges. The foliage emerges a fresh lime green, then transforms into vivid shades of yellow, orange, and fiery red as sun exposure increases, earning it the reputation as a true color changing succulent. Leaves are smooth, slightly waxy, and tightly overlapping, giving the plant its distinctive layered, flame-like silhouette.

      When conditions are right, including a consistent drop in nighttime temperatures, the Crassula Campfire Plant produces small clusters of white to pale pink star-shaped flowers, typically appearing in late winter to spring. The blooms are delicate and understated compared to the foliage, but they add a lovely finishing touch to an already spectacular plant. To encourage flowering, make sure your Crassula Campfire Plant experiences cooler nights, as that temperature dip is the key trigger.

      The Crassula Campfire Plant is wonderfully versatile: tuck it onto a sunny windowsill, move it to a bright patio or balcony for summer, and bring it back inside before frost arrives, making sure to cover it from heavy rain during outdoor stints. Its trailing, clustering growth style makes it a natural fit for hanging planters or cascading over the edge of a dish garden. Keep your Crassula Campfire Plant on a high shelf well out of reach of pets and small children, since cats and dogs shouldn't be left to nibble or eat the plant, and it is best placed away from curious little hands. As a low-maintenance, drought tolerant succulent that visibly wilts to signal thirst, it even handles a 10-day trip without a sitter.

  •   Crassula Campfire Plant thrives in bright indirect light to full direct sun, intensifying its fiery red and yellow coloring with more exposure.

      Water your Crassula Campfire Plant deeply every 10 to 14 days in summer, reducing to once every 3 to 4 weeks in winter.

      Crassula Campfire Plant does best in a gritty, well-draining succulent or cactus mix blended with 30 to 50 percent perlite.

      Crassula Campfire Plant prefers temperatures between 65 and 80 degrees F (18 to 27 degrees C) and should be protected from frost below 32 degrees F (0 degrees C).

      Crassula Campfire Plant is a moderate grower that benefits from a diluted balanced fertilizer applied once in spring and once in early summer.

      Crassula Campfire Plant is hardy in USDA Zones 9 through 11, tolerating brief dips to around 25 to 30 degrees F (-4 to -1 degrees C) but performing best where frosts are rare or absent. Gardeners growing Crassula Campfire Plant outdoors year-round will find it perfectly at home across California, Arizona, Nevada, Texas, Florida, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina. Coastal regions of Oregon, the warmer pockets of New Mexico, and sheltered spots across Arkansas and North Carolina can also support this fiery red succulent through mild winters with minimal protection.
  • Q: How much light does the Crassula Campfire Plant need?
    A: The Crassula Campfire Plant thrives in bright indirect light to full direct sun, and the more sun it gets, the more vivid its red and orange colors become. A south- or east-facing window is ideal indoors, and rotating the pot regularly ensures even, balanced growth.

    Q: How often should I water my Crassula Campfire Plant?
    A: As a drought tolerant succulent, the Crassula Campfire Plant needs watering roughly every 10 to 14 days in the growing season and much less in winter. It will visibly wilt slightly when it is ready for a drink, making it easy to read.

    Q: Is the Crassula Campfire Plant safe for pets?
    A: Cats and dogs shouldn't be left to nibble or eat the Crassula Campfire Plant, and the sap can cause skin or paw irritation on contact. Keep it on a high shelf well out of reach of pets and small children.

    Q: How do I get my Crassula Campfire Plant to change color?
    A: The Crassula Campfire Plant shifts from green to fiery red, orange, and yellow when exposed to more direct sun and cooler nighttime temperatures. Placing it in a brighter spot or moving it outdoors in summer is the fastest way to bring out those vivid hues.

    Q: How do I propagate a Crassula Campfire Plant?
    A: Propagating the Crassula Campfire Plant is simple: take a healthy stem cutting, let it callous for a day or two, then place it in dry succulent mix and water lightly once roots appear. Leaf cuttings can also work, though stem cuttings root faster and more reliably.

    Q: Can I grow the Crassula Campfire Plant outside?
    A: Yes, the Crassula Campfire Plant loves spending summer outdoors in a bright, sheltered spot, but it should be covered from heavy rain and brought back inside before frost threatens. In USDA Zones 9 to 11, it can live outdoors year-round with minimal protection.

    🌵 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.
