Crassula rupestris | Rosary Vine

Botanical Name:
Crassula rupestris

Common Names:
Rosary Vine

Plant Category:
Succulent

Plant/Product Description:
Crassula rupestris, commonly known as Rosary Vine, is a charming and unique succulent that forms trailing vines with small, rounded, fleshy leaves. The leaves are a vibrant green, and when exposed to bright sunlight, they may develop pinkish-red margins, adding a touch of color to its otherwise soft green hue. The plant’s trailing stems make it an ideal choice for hanging baskets, containers, or as part of succulent arrangements. In late spring to early summer, Crassula rupestris produces small, star-shaped white or pink flowers that contrast beautifully with the plant’s vibrant foliage. Its easy care and compact nature make it a perfect addition to both indoor and outdoor spaces.

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 rupestris is generally summer dormant, meaning it requires less water during the hotter months and growth slows down.
• 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 rupestris is non-toxic to humans and pets, making it a safe addition to homes and gardens.
