💡 Pro tip

Scaly Crassula is perfect for hanging baskets or as a plant spilling over the edge of a shelf. When watering - always water the soil and not from above, as water remaining between the stacked leaves can cause rot. To get the beautiful pink-reddish colors on the edges, make sure the plant gets enough sun!
