Mini Blue Chalksticks (now Curio repens) (Heath): A tidier, more compact version of the larger . Its finger-like leaves are a deeper blue and grow to 1.0"-2.0" long. They have a powdery coating of that thickens in bright sun, so the plant can take on a more silvery hue in summer

Mini Chalkstalks makes a wonderfully low-maintenance, drought-tolerant ground cover in frost-free climates, but it can also overwinter indoors near a sunny window or under a grow light. With time and plenty of sun, it can even cascade from containers. It produces a classic Asteraceae flower: a white pompom made up of tiny, fragrant blossoms.

In addition to sunlight and protection from frost, C. serpens needs great drainage to thrive. Use a gritty cactus / succulent soil and try to select containers with drainage holes. Water deeply, but only when the soil is completely dry.
