Crassula rubricaulis 'Candy Cane'

Highlights

Crassula rubricaulis 'Candy Cane' PP28111: A unique result of a chimeric mutation, 'Candy Cane' is a stacked Crassula. This tricolor variegate has leaves striped green and cream that blush a vibrant pink when grown in bright sunshine. It also produces clusters of white, star-shaped blooms in mid-summer.

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.

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.
