Crassula spp

Crassula spp.: Characteristics and Care

The Crassula spp., popularly known as crassula, encompasses various species of succulent plants with a shrub-like habit, prized for their fleshy, glossy leaves that often develop reddish tones on the edges when exposed to full sun.

Its compact, branched habit and easy care make it a very popular choice for both succulent beds and pots or containers.

It is highly drought-tolerant once established and adapts to poor soils, provided there is good drainage.

At Ornacom, we directly cultivate each specimen, guaranteeing a balanced form and healthy development from the first years of planting.
