Succulent plant - Crassula

Crassula muscosa is an interesting succulent that grows up to 1 foot (30 cm) tall with a spreading habit of branched stems bearing tiny, tightly overlapping, stacked, bright green leaves. The leaves completely hide the stems, which start upright but then trail under the weight of all the leaves. Tiny, pale yellowish-green, ill-scented flowers appear with the congested leaves along the stems in spring to mid-summer. It is a great plant for adding unique texture to a mixed planting or as a small-scale groundcover in a well-drained rockery or rock garden.

It is best to water regularly during summer and about once a week, or even less, in winter. Like all succulents, be careful not to overwater so the roots do not rot.
