Crassula Perforata

Crassula perforata, commonly known as String of Buttons or Necklace Vine, is a whimsical succulent that adds a playful architectural touch to any plant collection. Native to South Africa, this fast-growing plant is known for its stacked, triangular leaves arranged in a spiral around the stem, often blushed with pink or red along the edges when grown in bright light. Its trailing or sprawling habit makes it ideal for hanging baskets, succulent arrangements, and rock gardens.

Main Features:

• Distinctive stacked leaves in a spiral formation

• Green to bluish-green foliage with pink to red leaf margins

• Fast-growing and easy to propagate

• Excellent for cascading displays or mixed succulent planters

• Drought-tolerant and beginner-friendly

Care Tips:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light or partial sun. Full sun brings out the red leaf edges.

• Watering: Water deeply when soil is dry. Let the soil dry completely between waterings. Reduce watering in winter.

• Soil: Requires well-draining soil. Use a cactus or succulent mix with added perlite or sand.

• Temperature: Thrives in warm conditions (15–28°C). Protect from frost and extended cold.

• Fertilizer: Feed lightly with a balanced, diluted succulent fertilizer during the growing season (spring to summer).

• Propagation: Easily propagated from stem cuttings. Allow cut ends to dry before replanting.
