Crassula 'Moonglow'

Moonglow is a perennial succulent of the genus Crassula in the Crassulaceae family. It is a hybrid of Crassula deceptor and Crassula falcata of the same genus. The growth rate is slow. Their leaves are gray-green all year round, closely arranged in layers and decussate. The leaf blade is slightly downy, with small green dark spots on the leaf surface. When you look down on the plant, the leaf blade composition is nearly square. And the side view is like a tower. In low light, the leaves are elongated and spaced out. It has creamy white flowers (five petals) in clusters and umbels. The plant inherits the pale gray-green hue and the fine tomentum of the leaf surface from the parent (Crassula perfoliata var. minor), as well as the dense arrangement and rounded shape of the leaves.  Care Tips Light: In the spring and autumn, when it grows very fast, we can give it a full day of light to allow it to absorb more sunlight. In the summer, they should be properly shaded from the sun or moved indoors. In the winter when the temperature is below 5°C, they should be moved indoors to prevent them from dying.  Water: They should be watered when the soil is dry. A good way to water them is to water from the bottom.  Soil: Crassula moonglow requires a de-moisturized, well-drained potting mix that can drain completely. Potting: It is recommended to use ceramic pots. Clay pots lose water too quickly, and plastic pots tend to retain water for too long and permeability is poor.  Temperature: It likes a warm environment, and its optimal temperature is around 50-77°F (10-25℃). In the summer, it must be shaded and ventilated in time for daily maintenance, and the ambient temperature should be controlled within 86°F (30℃). In the winter, it is recommended to move it directly into the room for warmth, to ensure that the ambient temperature does not fall below 41°F (5 ℃). Humidity: Moonglow does best in low humidity.    Shipping & Handling The 2 Inch Crassula 'Moonglow' plants are shipped with the pot and soil The 4 Inch and larger plants are shipped bare roots without the pot and soil: We commit to shipping bare roots, which requires more time and labor, and provide excellent quality and service to our customers - see Benefits of Shipping Bare Roots You will receive a very similar plant to the one shown in the photos; shape and color may vary Ship within USA & its outlying territories only Please visit Order Processing & Shipping info page for additional details   Care Instructions Please visit our Succulent Care info page for more details. To ensure the health of succulents, it is important to plant them in porous, well-draining soil. Succulents require little watering, but don't like to sit in wet soil. To create an adequate cactus mix, simply add pumice, perlite, or grit to cactus soil to provide the proper drainage. Make sure to leave drought periods between waterings to prevent the plant from water-logging.   Weather Conditions When ordering, be mindful that living succulents can be damaged by the cold weather.
