Prepare to be captivated by the distinct and architectural beauty of Crassula streyi.

Admired for its unique form and relatively easy care, Crassula streyi is a must-have for collectors and anyone seeking a visually fascinating and resilient succulent that stands out from the ordinary.

Characteristics:

• Distinctive Spiraling Leaf Arrangement: Thick, paddle-shaped leaves stack and twist in a captivating, sculptural pattern.
• Silvery-Grey Foliage: Leaves typically exhibit a beautiful silvery-grey color, often with hints of pink or purple under bright light or cooler temperatures. 
• Compact and Upright Growth: Maintains a relatively compact and upright form, making it ideal for smaller spaces and arrangements.   
• Textural Interest: The thick, fleshy leaves and unique growth pattern provide significant tactile and visual interest. 
• Drought-Tolerant: Well-adapted to dry conditions and requires minimal watering once established.   
• Relatively Slow-Growing: Retains its unique shape and form for an extended period.

Care Tips:

• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect sunlight to full sun. More light can enhance coloration, but protect from intense midday sun, which can scorch the leaves. 
• Watering: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is the most common cause of problems. Reduce watering significantly during the dormant winter months. 
• Soil: Requires well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix. Ensure the pot has drainage holes.   
• Temperature: Prefers moderate temperatures (65-75°F or 18-24°C) during the growing season. Can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures in winter but protect from frost.   
• Humidity: Tolerates average indoor humidity. Avoid excessively humid environments.   
• Fertilizing: Feed sparingly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted balanced liquid fertilizer once every 2-4 weeks. Avoid fertilizing during the dormant winter months. 
•  Propagation: Can be propagated from leaf cuttings or stem cuttings. Allow cuttings to callous over before planting in well-draining soil.
