Botanical Name:

Common Names:
Moonglow Crassula

Plant Category:
Succulent

Plant/Product Description:
Crassula 'Moonglow' is a visually appealing hybrid succulent that forms compact rosettes of thick, fleshy, gray-green leaves. The leaves are arranged in overlapping pairs along short stems, giving the plant a neat, columnar appearance. These leaves are densely covered with fine, velvety hairs that give them a soft texture and may develop reddish tips when exposed to bright sunlight. In late winter to early spring, mature plants produce small, apricot-colored flowers in clusters, adding a vibrant touch to its overall appearance. This low-maintenance plant is ideal for containers, hanging baskets, or as part of succulent arrangements.

Plant Care Notes:

• Sunlight: Prefers bright, indirect light to full sun. Full sun enhances the color and vibrancy of the leaves.
• 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 'Moonglow' is generally summer dormant, meaning it requires less water and growth slows during the hotter months.
• Propagation: Easily propagated by stem cuttings or offsets. 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 'Moonglow' is non-toxic to humans and pets, making it a safe addition to homes and gardens.
