🌟 Description:
Crassula volkensii 'Variegated' is a stunning and rare succulent known for its compact, bushy growth and beautifully variegated foliage.

Under bright light, the leaf edges may take on a soft pink blush, adding even more charm to this delightful plant.

🌱 Care Tips:

Light:
Thrives in bright, indirect light or dappled sun. Can tolerate some morning or late afternoon sun, which enhances the variegation. Avoid harsh midday sun to prevent leaf burn.

Water:
Water thoroughly when the soil is completely dry. Ensure excellent drainage and avoid overwatering, as Crassulas are prone to root rot. Water less frequently in cooler months.

Humidity:
Prefers dry to moderate humidity. No additional misting is required. Best suited for indoor environments with good airflow.

Temperature:
Enjoys warm conditions between 18°C to 27°C (65°F to 81°F). Protect from frost and extreme cold.

Soil:
Use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix. Add perlite or coarse sand to improve aeration and drainage if needed.

Fertiliser:
Feed once a month during spring and summer with a diluted succulent fertiliser. No feeding needed in autumn and winter.

Pet Friendly:
❌ Caution: May be toxic if ingested by pets or children. Keep out of reach of little hands and paws.
