Crassula exilis ssp. schmidtii - Fairy Tongue

Highlights

Fairy Tongue (Crassula exilis ssp. schmidtii) (Tölken): A clustering rosette with a jade green coloration. In bright light, the leaves flush a crimson color. Look for pink blooms in the spring and summer months.

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.
