Paddle Plant
Plant Category:
Succulent
Plant/Product Description:
Crassula dubia, commonly known as the Paddle Plant, is a striking succulent native to South Africa. It forms tight rosettes of thick, fleshy, oval-shaped leaves that resemble paddles, giving it its distinctive appearance. The leaves are a vibrant green with red to pink margins, which become more pronounced when the plant is grown in full sun. In late winter to early spring, Crassula dubia produces small, star-shaped white or pink flowers, adding a delicate contrast to its bold form. Perfect for containers, rock gardens, or as part of succulent arrangements, this easy-care plant is ideal for both novice and experienced gardeners.
Plant Care Notes:
- Sunlight: Prefers full sun but can tolerate bright, indirect light. Full sun enhances the leaf color and promotes compact growth.
- Watering: Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent 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.
- Dormancy: Crassula dubia is generally winter dormant, meaning it slows down in colder months and requires less water during this period.
- 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 dubia is non-toxic to humans and pets, making it a safe addition to homes and gardens.
