About Crassula
Crassula, of the Crassulaceae family, originates in mainly South Africa, also Madagascar and has spread to home cultivation thanks to its beauty and resilience. Its most distinctive feature is opposite fleshy leaves in columns or rosettes, a trait that makes it unmistakable even among advanced collectors.
At Succulentae we grow every Crassula directly in our nursery in southeastern Spain, in conditions of intense sun, low humidity and mineral substrate that replicate its natural habitat. The result: more compact, better colored and more resilient plants than those grown in artificial greenhouses.
