About Crassula perforata-mod1.02
Crassula perforata-mod1.02 is a succulent of the Crassulaceae family, native to mainly South Africa, also Madagascar. Its most distinctive feature is opposite fleshy leaves in columns or rosettes, a trait that makes it unmistakable even among advanced collectors.
We grow Crassula perforata-mod1.02 at Succulentae, in the heart of the Almería desert, where the dry Mediterranean climate replicates the ideal conditions for the plant to develop its compact form and best coloration. It’s the difference between a succulent grown under real sun and a greenhouse one — and it shows in shape, color and longevity.
