Crassula deceptor

This quirky little succulent subshrub grows in the gravely, rocky slopes of South Africa and South-western Namibia and absorbs moisture through its leaves' epidermis. Its small, plump grey-green leaves stack on top of each other, creating little towers of juicy succulent claws.

Watering

In summer water thoroughly only when 100% of the soil has dried out. A/W allow soil to dry 100% - water sparingly (every two months). In spring gradually increase watering - depending on temp and light exposure.

Light requirements

Bright.

Feed

Use a succulent fertiliser 4-6 times from April - September.

Repotting

Can stay in the same pot for a number of years. If it outgrows its pot, use a very well draining cacti and succulent compost with an added drainage medium like perlite.

Pot size / height

See available sizes below. Please note that, due to their natural variability, specimens' height may be within 10-20% of the stated height below.

Plant is supplied in its plastic nursery pot.
