Crassula quadrangularis - Compact Succulent with Square Stems
Crassula quadrangularis is a fascinating, small-sized succulent native to South Africa. It is characterised by its unique quadrangular (four-angled) stems that grow in a compact, upright form. This drought-tolerant plant is well-adapted to arid conditions and thrives in containers, rock gardens, or as part of a succulent arrangement.
Distinctive Features
Square Stems: The defining characteristic of this species is its four-angled, stacked stems, giving it a geometric appearance.
Fleshy, Overlapping Leaves: Its leaves are tightly arranged along the stems, forming a striking, almost architectural structure.
Yellowish-Green Flowers: Produces small, star-shaped yellowish-green flowers in the growing season, adding to its ornamental appeal.
Care Tips
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to full sun; some shade in intense afternoon sun prevents scorching.
Water: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings; overwatering can lead to root rot.
Humidity: Thrives in dry conditions and does not require high humidity.
Temperature: Best kept in temperatures between 18-25°C; avoid frost exposure.
Fertiliser: Feed with a diluted succulent fertiliser once a month during the growing season.
Potting: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix in a container with drainage holes.
Propagation: Easily propagated from stem cuttings; allow cuttings to callous before planting in dry soil.
Additional Notes
Slow-growing and stays compact, making it ideal for small spaces.
Great for indoor cultivation when placed near a bright window.
Not known to be toxic, but should be kept away from pets prone to chewing plants.
Crassula quadrangularis is a wonderful choice for succulent enthusiasts looking for a low-maintenance, visually intriguing plant. Its geometric growth habit and resilience make it an excellent addition to any drought-tolerant collection.
