Highlights
Red Pagoda or Pagoda Village (Crassula capitella ssp. thyrsiflora) (Tölken): An eye-catching tower of stacked, triangular leaves. It is native to South Africa where its long stems sprawl and form mats on dry, rocky slopes. In cultivation, Pagoda Village can spill nicely from containers or be planted as a ground cover in frost-free climates. This plant is fully rooted in a 3.5" pot.
C. capitella ssp. thyrsiflora has a glossy green base color, but flushes deep burgundy with moderate stress, such as full sun, extended drought, or cool temperatures. The stems grow to about 8.0" long and re-root easily where they bend down to the soil or from stem cuttings. This variety can bloom in summer or fall with lots of tiny, white flowers.
Red Pagoda needs plenty of sunlight to maintain its color and form. For indoor growing, place near a sunny window or under a grow light. Use containers with drainage holes and a gritty, well-draining soil that contains coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait to re-water until the soil is completely dry.
PLEASE NOTE: These leaves are very fragile and may fall off during shipping, but will grow back.

No, this one is not safe for pets. Many plants in the genus Crassula contain saponins. The plant makes saponins as a natural insecticide and fungicide, but they will also sicken larger animals too.
First, plant the Jade Plant in a shallow pot, about 3"-4" deep, that has a drainage hole. We highly recommend using this Bonsai Jack Gritty Mix as soil. Aim to grow it in partial sun. Only water if the soil is completely dry and the leaves feel flexible. When you do water, deeply drench it until water runs out the pot's drainage hole. Potentially, support the main stem with a skewer.
After about a year in the shallow pot, it's time for the first trim. It's preferable to trim in the spring when your plant is actively growing. Be very aggressive with your pruning. What you're looking for with your first trim is, essentially, to turn your plant into a twig. You'll remove most of the foliage, just be careful not to remove it all. Wherever you prune, the plant will fill that spot with even more foliage. Use this to your advantage by heavily… See full answer »
Crassula watering is pretty normal for succulents. Soak the soil and then don't water it again until the soil totally dries out and the leaves just start to feel flexible. No need to water much in winter. These plants are very forgiving and shouldn't give you any trouble. I hope this helps!
