Crassula 'Baby's Necklace'

Highlights

Crassula 'Baby's Necklace' (Kimnach): A prolific grower with flat, button-like leaves that encase the stems like beads on a string. Its minty green foliage has contrasting pink to red edges that intensify in direct sun. This variety can grow as a ground cover in frost-free areas, but it also looks fantastic trailing from a hanging basket. 'Baby's Necklace' is a hybrid of C. rupestris ssp. marnieriana x C. perforata ssp. kougaensis.

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.
