Crassula volkensii variegata
Ideally placed in a sunny location, can tolerate partial shade.
Always water a few days after the substrate has dried out. In winter, limit watering.
It can tolerate -3.9 °C in the short term. However, the plant is not hardy.
The green leaves, especially in sunlight, have creamy to pinkish edges and dark spots on them. It is therefore best to place the plant in a bright location where the leaf pattern will stand out best.
Crassula volkensii variegata, a variegated form of Crassula volkensii native to Kenya and Tanzania, is a charming succulent plant that stands out for the colour of its leaves.
These leaves, green in the sun with cream or pinkish edges, are decorated with scattered dark spots that tend to be concentrated on the underside. The leaves are slightly rounded and grow up to 3 cm long and 1.5 cm wide. Leaf patterning varies from plant to plant, making each leaf unique. The plant forms a low succulent shrub with a more or less semi-erect growth, reaching a height of up to 15 cm.
Unlike the classic Crassula volkensii, the variegated form does not flower, but is still valued for its attractive appearance and unusual colouring.
Crassula volkensii variegata is an attractive and less widespread succulent plant that stands out among other plants for its colour. Thanks to its unpretentious nature, this plant is gaining popularity among succulent growers. Whether you are already a collector or are looking for an unusual and charming succulent plant, Crassula volkensii variegata is the perfect choice for you!
