Crassula capitella - Red Pagoda

Highlights

Crassula capitella (Thunberg): Commonly known as Red Pagoda. Very attractive plant with many shades of pink and burgundy tones contrasting with its otherwise green leaves. It stacks leaves on narrow stems up to 16.0" tall. The leaves can grow up to 4.0" long, arranged in rosettes. It usually blooms mid-summer to fall with tiny white to pink flowers. This species is monocarpic, so after a plant flowers it will die, but any offsets will live on.

Soft succulents will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. They need ample sunlight, great drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again.
