Crassula 'Garnet Lotus'

Crassula 'Garnet Lotus': A forest green and plum purple rosetted Crassula. The whole plant is covered in a fine, silvery hair that gives the whole plant a frosted appearance. It forms clusters of red flowers in the spring months.

Soft succulents will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. They need ample sunlight, great drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again.
