Botanical Name:
Crassula perforata

Common Names:
String of Buttons

Plant Category:
Succulent

Plant/Product Description:
Crassula perforata, commonly known as String of Buttons, is a charming succulent that features a cascading growth habit with tightly stacked, tubular leaves. The leaves are a vibrant green, arranged in stacks along the stems, creating a "button-like" appearance. This low-maintenance plant is ideal for hanging baskets, containers, or as part of succulent arrangements. In late winter to early spring, Crassula perforata produces small, star-shaped white flowers that add a delicate contrast to the plant's compact, green foliage. Its trailing form and ease of care make it an attractive addition to any garden or home.

Plant Care Notes:

  • Sunlight: Prefers bright, indirect light to full sun. Full sun encourages the best growth and color in 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 perforata is generally summer dormant, requiring less water and growth slows 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 perforata is non-toxic to humans and pets, making it a safe addition to homes and gardens.
