Plant Category:
Succulent
Plant/Product Description:
Crassula congesta, commonly known as Green Beans, is a charming and unique succulent native to South Africa. This plant is recognized for its thick, cylindrical leaves that grow in tight clusters, resembling green beans stacked together. The fleshy, green leaves are smooth and round, giving the plant a neat, compact appearance. In late winter or early spring, Crassula congesta produces small, star-shaped white or pink flowers that emerge from the tips of its stems, adding a soft contrast to its bold form. Ideal for containers, rock gardens, or as part of succulent arrangements, this low-maintenance plant is perfect for adding texture and color to any collection.
Plant Care Notes:
- Sunlight: Prefers bright, indirect light to full sun. Full sun encourages compact growth and vibrant coloring.
- 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 to ensure proper 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 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 congesta is non-toxic to humans and pets, making it a safe addition to homes and gardens.
