Plant/Product Description:
Crassula multicava, commonly known as Fairy Crassula, is a charming and low-growing succulent native to South Africa. This spreading plant features small, thick, fleshy leaves that are a vibrant green with a slight reddish tint along the edges when exposed to full sun. The leaves are arranged in clusters, creating a dense mat-like appearance. In the late winter to early spring, the Fairy Crassula produces small, white to pink star-shaped flowers that appear in clusters, attracting pollinators and adding a delicate touch to its compact form. Ideal for ground cover, containers, or hanging baskets, this easy-care plant is perfect for those looking to add color and texture to their gardens or indoor spaces.

Plant Care Notes:

• Sunlight: Prefers bright, indirect light to full sun. 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 multicava is generally summer dormant, requiring less water during the hotter months.
• Propagation: Easily propagated by leaf or stem 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 multicava is non-toxic to humans and pets, making it a safe addition to homes and gardens.
