About this item
Crassula 'Dorothy' is a charming dwarf succulent, a hybrid between Crassula deceptor and Crassula susannae. This slow-growing plant forms compact, clumping rosettes of knobbly green leaves, each rosette reaching up to approximately 2.2 cm (0.9 inches) in diameter. During autumn, it produces delicate white flowers, adding to its ornamental appeal.
Succulents are sold in 2-inch pots, fully rooted in succulent-specific soil with the pot and soil included. Plant sizes may vary as different species grow in various ways; for example, some may grow wider, shorter, taller, or with trailing stems.
Care Instructions:
Light: Thrives in full sun to partial shade. Intense sunlight enhances the bright red tinges on its leaves, so placing it in a bright spot is beneficial. However, avoid direct exposure during the hottest hours of summer days.
Watering: Water every 2-3 days during the growing season (spring and summer), allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Reduce watering frequency during cooler months.
Soil: Prefers a well-draining, acidic substrate enriched with well-rotted compost.
Temperature:While it can survive temperatures down to -5ºC (23°F), it's advisable to keep it indoors during winter or provide shelter in temperate climates.
Crassula 'Dorothy' is an excellent choice for both novice and experienced succulent enthusiasts, adding a touch of natural artistry to any space.
