Product Details

Highlights

Crassula swaziensis f. variegata 'Variegated Money Maker': A lovely lime green, stemmed plant with cream colored variegation along the margins of the leaves. It can darken to a bronzy red in bright sunlight. Fine hair covers the whole plant and gives it a frosty appearance.

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.

Because of the large size and firm stem, training it like a grape vine would not be possible. However, you may be able to guide its growth using metal poles to block it from growing in certain directions. It's hard to say if that would work though.

A 4" pot would fit this plant nicely.

It already ships in a 3.5" pot and keeping the pot size you plant it into only a half inch above that helps prevent overwatering.

Yes! Look for wrinkles on otherwise smooth areas of the stem and flaccid leaves when your plant has them. Crested cacti are more difficult to get a read on so be sure to pay careful attention.

Shop Succulent Soil Here

Succulents need grittier soil than other plants because they are adapted to dry conditions and store water in their leaves. Regular potting soil mixes stay damp for long periods of time, which can cause rot in succulents. Instead, use a sandy, well-draining soil so you can water thoroughly without leaving your succulent in standing water.

Our plants can be transplanted immediately upon arrival.
If you want to wait to transplant, they can remain in their original containers for up to a month. If the pots came in a plastic carrier tray, remove the pots from the carrier tray prior to the first watering.

Keep the plants indoors near a sunny window or outdoors under a roof (only if outdoor temperatures stay above your succulent's minimum hardiness temperature). Water only after the soil is fully dry by drenching from above with a faucet, hose, or watering can. Gently shake excess water from the leaves and allow containers to drain completely.

Fertilizing is not necessary, but it is a good option for succulent growers who want to encourage faster, larger growth. It can be used on mature plants with established roots. Only fertilize in the growing season (spring and summer for most varieties) to avoid weakening or burning dormant plants. Use a light touch and make 2-3 applications of low-Nitrogen, diluted fertilizer each year (N-P-K ratio around 5-10-10). You can find specially-formulated cactus / succulent fertilizers in most garden centers or go organic with compost tea or bone meal.

Succulents need deep, infrequent watering, especially during their growing season and when they are young and establishing roots. Only water after the soil is completely dry and the plant feels less firm. Err on the side of underwatering. Watering too frequently is the most common way to kill succulents.

HOW TO WATER SUCCULENTS

  • Drench from above using a faucet, hose, or watering can
  • Do not mist with a spray bottle (the only exception is for Air Plants)
  • Water until it drains from the container's drainage hole. If your container does not have a drainage hole (not recommended), use about 1/3 the volume of the container…

Different succulent varieties have different light needs. You can find the Recommended Light Conditions on each variety's page by scrolling down to the Product Details. We use four categories of recommended light, and some plants can thrive under a range of light conditions.

LOW INDOOR LIGHT

  • Can grow indoors without direct sun.
  • Placing outdoors in direct sun or on sunny window sills might cause dark burns.
  • There are a limited number of succulent varieties that thrive in low light, notably Haworthia, Gasteria, Peperomia, and some Jade…

Many succulent varieties are only available seasonally because of their growing and propagation cycles. During the growing season, we can usually restock sets and trays weekly. Most individual plants will go in and out of stock through the seasons, but they are also restocked weekly when available. Thursday is usually the best day of the week for finding plants in stock. Spring and Summer are generally the best seasons for availability.

Any product that is out of stock has an "Email me when a product is back in stock" button (shown above). Click the button and enter your email to be notified when it's available again. If this button isn't appearing, the plant may have very recently sold out - check back after a short while and the button should appear.

September 17, 2024 by JLWhite (Arkansas, United States)
“This little cutie appeared to have 3 beautiful "stems" when it arrived. I took the plant out to break up the soil and repot....SURPRISE!! The 3 "stems" were actually 3 individual plants! I can't wait for them to fill-out and show out! :)
Packaging?...Perfect! Quality?...Healthy as can be! Can't wait to purchase more. :)”
