Crassula atropurpurea

Highlights

Crassula atropurpurea var. atropurpurea (Dietrich): A variable stemmed succulent that reacts swiftly to bright sun or drought stress, turning from lime green to plum purple. It bears lots of tiny, white flowers on bloom stalks elevated above the leaves.

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.
