Product Details

Highlights

Large Red Carpet Stonecrop (Crassula pubescens ssp. radicans) (Tölken): Round, green foliage edged with red, similar to its relative the jade plant (Crassula ovata). Unlike jades, its leaves densely fill the upright stems and the whole plants stays under 6.0" tall while spreading laterally. Moderate stress from cool weather (around 50F), drought, and direct sun will bring out the brightest red pigments. This variety also thrives potted, indoors and its clusters of tiny white flowers contrast well with the foliage.

Soft succulents will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors. 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.

Crassula can show tiny white or black dots on their leaves. These are healthy, water-transferring pores called "hydathodes" and not a sign of disease.

This variety is easy to re-root from stem cuttings. Look to our Succulent Cuttings Guide for tips on succulent propagation.

We want to first preface this by saying that bonsai is an art form. How you decide to shape or trim your bonsai is up to you and will be informed by how you want your plant to look.

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 »

As far as the Jade Plants we sell are concerned, they can all be grown indoors.

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!

Basically, yes. There may be a few exceptions within the genus Crassula, but enough of them are to where it's better not to risk it.

Succulents are adapted to dry environments so they tend to succumb to rot in enclosed, non-draining terrariums. It is challenging but possible to grow them in open terrariums. You can find tips to make it work at the link below.

Crassula ovata Jade Plants can cause some digestive issues when consumed, so to be on the conservative side, we do not consider any Crassula to be pet-safe.
