Characteristics:

It can reach a height of 1-2 meters and has thick, fleshy leaves, often with reddish margins. It produces small clusters of star-shaped, white flowers, mainly in autumn and winter.

Care:

The Crassula Afra thrives best in full sun or partial shade and can tolerate brief frosts if the soil is dry. Indoors, it is recommended to place it outside from spring to late summer. It adapts well to coastal areas and prefers sandy soils, although it can also grow in rocky or volcanic soils.

Indoor Cultivation:
