About Crassula Moonglow
Crassula Moonglow, of the Crassulaceae family, originates in mainly South Africa, also Madagascar and has spread to home cultivation thanks to its beauty and resilience. It stands out for opposite fleshy leaves in columns or rosettes, a peculiarity that has fascinated botanists and enthusiasts for generations.
At Succulentae we grow every Crassula Moonglow 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.
