About Crassula 'Tom Thumb'
Crassula 'Tom Thumb' belongs to the Crassulaceae family and is native to South Africa. It is similar to Crassula Marnieriana but distinguished by its more pronounced angular leaves. Crassula 'Tom Thumb' leaves are grayish-green to light green in color, with slightly red margins. When exposed to large temperature differences, the leaves can turn red. The leaf shape is ovate-triangular, with the bases connected. Overall, Crassula's 'Tom Thumb' resembles stars in the sky. Hence, its floral language is "dreamy."

Sun/Temperature: Crassula 'Tom Thumb' can tolerate partial shade and prefers relaxed, dry environments. It can withstand temperatures as low as 30 ℉, but prolonged exposure to cold should be avoided.

Therefore, providing much sunlight is essential, but shading and protection from strong sunlight and rain are necessary in summer to prevent sunburn and plant rot.

Bath watering is suitable, but ensure the soil is dry before watering, especially in winter when watering should be reduced.
