Plant Care Notes:

• Sunlight: Prefers bright, indirect light to full sun. Full sun enhances the color and vibrancy of the variegation.
• 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 variegata is generally summer dormant, requiring less water during the hotter months and slowing growth.
• 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 variegata is non-toxic to humans and pets, making it a safe addition to homes and gardens.
