Crassula perforata 'Variegata' Care Guide

  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight. Can tolerate some direct sunlight but avoid the harsh afternoon sun to prevent leaf scorch.

  • Watering: Allow the soil to dry out completely between watering. Water sparingly, especially during winter when the plant is dormant. Overwatering can cause root rot.

  • Soil: Use well-draining succulent or cactus soil mix. Good drainage is essential to prevent waterlogging.

  • Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 15°C and 24°C. Protect from frost and avoid temperatures below 10°C.

  • Humidity: Prefers average household humidity. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal issues.

  • Feeding: Feed monthly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted, balanced liquid fertiliser.

  • Propagation: Easily propagated from leaf or stem cuttings. Allow cuttings to callous before planting in well-draining soil.

  • Potting: Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows its pot. Choose a pot with drainage holes.

Crassula perforata 'Variegata' is a delightful, easy-care succulent that rewards with its striking variegated foliage when given bright light and careful watering.
