Crassula Candy Cane
Place the succulent in a sunny location.
Always water a few days after the substrate has dried out. In winter, limit watering.
In the short term it can tolerate down to -3.9 °C. The plant is not hardy.
This succulent will look great in a succulent garden amongst other plants. The succulent will shine with its colourful appeal in a variety of shades of pink.
Crassula Candy Cane, scientifically called Crassula rubricaulis Candy Cane, is a cultivar of a plant from South Africa. A similar form was discovered by Renee O'Connell in December 2012.
On the leaves we find a rare tri-colour similarity. It mixes white, mint green and pink to red. It turns a deeper shade of red especially when exposed to full sun. The shrub branches profusely and grows to a height of about 30 cm, but can exceed 60 cm in width.
White, star-shaped flowers bloom in racemes from spring to summer. However, it does not usually flower.
If exposed to prolonged drought, the tips of the leaves dry out. This is how we know that the plant no longer needs watering. Ideally, the succulent should be placed in full sun, where its attractive colouring will stand out best. Its play of colours attracts growers all over the world and is very popular with our customers.
