Crassula perforata variegata, known as the Variegated String of Buttons, is a mesmerising succulent native to South Africa. Its charming, stacked, triangular leaves display creamy-white and green variegation, often tinged with pink along the edges when exposed to bright sunlight. This fast-growing, trailing succulent is a fantastic choice for hanging planters or as an accent in rock gardens.
Distinctive Features
Stacked Leaves: The plump, overlapping leaves create a spiral effect along the stem, giving the plant a visually dynamic appearance.
Variegation: A stunning mix of green, cream, and pink hues makes this variety especially sought after.
Trailing Growth: This succulent develops long, sprawling stems that make it perfect for cascading planters or ground cover.
Care Tips
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to full sun for optimal variegation and pink edging.
Water: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings.
Humidity: Thrives in dry conditions, making it ideal for low-humidity environments.
Temperature: Prefers temperatures between 15°C and 25°C but can tolerate brief periods of cooler weather.
Fertiliser: Feed lightly with a diluted succulent fertiliser once a month during the growing season.
Potting: Use a well-draining succulent mix in a pot with drainage holes to prevent root rot.
Propagation: Easily propagated from stem cuttings; allow cuttings to callous before planting in dry soil.
