The Crassula Tetragona, sometimes called mini pine tree, has vertical upright branches, with little beautiful green leaves. It can grow a up to 4 feet high when mature. The plant has blooms with white flowers in late spring or early summer.
The plant is a favorite of ours. Some people say it looks like a miniature Joshua tree. Especially as it gets older, it gets a little bit a trunk on it and then the branches start growing out. This is a plant that comes from Africa, and it is closely related to the Jade plant. This is a really easy plant to grow, perfect as a houseplant on a sunny window sill. Or you can take it outside during the summer time and bring it inside during times when the temperatures will freeze. It's a great starter plant if you are not a succulent enthusiast. Because it's easy to grow and you have to start somewhere! This is also fun for kids to grow. Experienced gardeners can grow as bonsai plants. We also suggest growing in a pretty ornamental pot.
Growing Crassula Tetragona
This plant prefers full sun to partial shade. Ensure the soil is porous and well drained. Water once soil is completely dry, although this succulent can handle long periods of drought. Native to South Africa.
