A cross of two Crassulas resulted in this totally unique plant; it reminded someone of the architecture of temples in Asian jungles, maybe Thailand or Cambodia or something. Perfectly stacked atop one another are grey/green, somewhat thin, heartshaped leaves with a red dent or dip in the center tip spacing themselves evenly on what must be a central stem, although you'll never see it. Leaves go on the stem this way and that way, alternating to form a square, and just ever so slightly spiraling, towering up to just a few (6") inches high in even perfection. Small scaled always, you'll want this guy on the counter, windowsill or desk so you can admire the intriguing design in a nice, low ceramic pot with some sand, rocks or other succulent friends in a mini desert garden. Surprising flowers happen to him in big, pink, poufball sprays on top; a burst of waxy, spiky, pinky/white blossoms poking out and ending in a starry lip.
- Drought Tolerant
- Low Maintenance
Quick Care Guide:
- Water - Low (1): Needs very little water to survive. Wait until the plant is completely dry then fully soak. Drought tolerant by nature.
- Light - High (5): Plant needs a lot of light; direct is even better. These plants do best when placed on a window sill or next to a bright window. Avoid concentrated, hot light from window which may cause burning (magnifying glass effect).
- Difficulty - Low (1): These plants need barely any attention to thrive. Set it and forget it.
