Highlights
Watch Chain (Crassula muscosa or C. lycopodiodes, aka Rattail Crassula and Zipper Plant): Unique branching stems of tightly overlapping, scale-like leaves. Both of its Latin names refer to its resemblance to a clubmoss. This plant starts off erect but eventually trails over with thick stems up to 1.0' long. It is native to South Africa and following heavy rain or watering it can bloom pale yellow to white flowers.
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.
