Scientific name

Crassula perfoliata var. falcata 'Airplane'

General description

Crassula 'Falcata' has a striking architectural appearance. Its fleshy, gray-green leaves are arranged in rosettes reminiscent of airplane propellers. In bright light, the foliage can take on more silvery or reddish hues.

Origin

Native to South Africa, grown as a decorative succulent for its graphic foliage and architectural form.

Care

• Light : Bright indirect light to partial full sun to develop silver color and foliage robustness.
• Watering : Water when the substrate is completely dry; “soak and dry” method (wet thoroughly then let dry).
• Humidity : Tolerates low humidity; prefers dry to moderate environments.
• Temperature : between approximately 15 and 29°C; avoid freezing and prolonged exposure to cold.
• Substrate : Highly draining mix, succulent/cactus type, with sand, perlite or mineral material to prevent stagnant water.

Special advice

• Do not wet the leaves when they are in strong light to avoid burns or stains.
• Repot only when the plant is cramped; prefer wide but shallow pots.
• Fertilize lightly during the growing season, about once a month with diluted balanced fertilizer.
• Toxic if swallowed by animals and humans.
