Botanical Name:
Crassula brevifolia
Common Names:
Short-leafed Crassula, Button Crassula
Plant Category:
Succulent
Plant/Product Description:
Crassula brevifolia, commonly known as the Short-leafed Crassula or Button Crassula, is a compact and attractive succulent native to South Africa. This plant forms dense, rounded rosettes of thick, fleshy, green leaves that are short and plump, giving the plant a button-like appearance. The leaves have a slight reddish tint at the edges when exposed to full sunlight, adding a touch of color to its otherwise green form. In late spring or early summer, Crassula brevifolia produces clusters of small, star-shaped white or pink flowers that attract pollinators. This low-maintenance plant is perfect for container gardening, rock gardens, or as part of succulent arrangements.
Plant Care Notes:
- Sunlight: Prefers full sun but can tolerate bright, indirect light. Full sun enhances the color of the leaves and encourages compact growth.
- Watering: Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings to avoid root rot.
- Soil: Requires a well-draining cactus or succulent mix with added perlite or pumice for optimal drainage.
- Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 70°F and 85°F (21°C to 29°C). It is not frost-tolerant and should be protected from freezing temperatures.
- Propagation: Easily propagated by stem or leaf cuttings. Allow the cut ends to callous for a few days before replanting in well-draining soil.
- Pests: Generally pest-resistant but may occasionally attract mealybugs or aphids. Regular inspections help maintain plant health.
Toxicity:
Crassula brevifolia is non-toxic to humans and pets, making it a safe addition to homes and gardens.
