Crassula perfoliata ssp. coccinea - Giant Propeller Plant

Highlights

Crassula perfoliata ssp. coccinea: 'Giant Propeller Plant', 'Airplane Plant', 'Scarlet Paintbrush', 'Keiserskroon'. Unique succulent with velvety oblong, sickle shaped leaves. New growth in center is gray green changing to chartreuse yellow green as the leaves grow and age. Bright orange-red flowers stalks rise to 18" in summer. Full sun to part shade. Excellent houseplant.

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.
