Crassula

Crassula, including the popular Jade plant, is a low-maintenance succulent that flourishes in bright light and needs minimal watering.

Light

• Sunlight Requirements: Crassula needs ample sunlight to maintain its vibrant color and compact shape. A sunny windowsill or spot with 4–6 hours of direct sunlight works well.
• Heat Protection: During periods of intense heat, protect Crassula from harsh afternoon sun, as it may cause leaf burn.

Watering

• Water your Crassula sparingly. As with most succulents, allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Ensure the container has drainage holes to avoid waterlogging.
• If the plant is grown indoors during winter, reduce watering since the plant is in a dormant state.

Soil

• Soil Needs: Crassula prefers a well-draining soil mix, ideally with mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. This helps prevent root rot and supports healthy growth.

Temperature

• Cold Sensitivity: Crassula cannot withstand freezing temperatures, so bring it indoors or provide additional protection if temperatures drop near freezing.
• Ideal Temperature: This succulent thrives in warm, dry conditions, making it perfect for homes with plenty of sunlight.

Additional Tips

• Crassula tends to grow best when kept in slightly cooler conditions during the winter months, so avoid placing them near heaters or in drafty areas.

Hardiness Zone Information: Zones 9-11

Understanding the hardiness zones is essential when selecting the right plants for your garden. This page provides general guidelines for plants suited for zones 9-11, with a temperature range of 50°F to 75°F (10°C to 24°C). These zones typically feature mild winters and warm summers, which are ideal for a variety of plants, including succulents, tropical plants, and certain perennials. Read on to learn how to make the most of these growing conditions.

Hardiness Zones 9-11 Overview

Zones 9-11 cover regions with relatively mild winter temperatures and warm summers. Here's a breakdown of each zone:

• Zone 9:

  • Minimum temperature range: 20°F to 30°F (-6°C to -1°C)
  • Ideal for many tropical and subtropical plants that require warmth but can withstand occasional dips into the 20s°F (-6°C to -1°C).

• Zone 10:

  • Minimum temperature range: 30°F to 40°F (-1°C to 4°C)
  • This zone is suitable for heat-loving plants like Agave, Bougainvillea, and many succulents.

• Zone 11:

  • Minimum temperature range: 40°F to 50°F (4°C to 10°C)
  • Perfect for plants that thrive in constant warmth, including a variety of tropical species like palms, hibiscus, and many flowering shrubs.

These zones are often found in coastal regions, areas with Mediterranean climates, and parts of the desert southwest. Due to their mild winters and warm summers, they allow for a diverse range of plant life.

Temperature Range: 50°F - 75°F (10°C - 24°C)

The temperature range of 50°F to 75°F (10°C - 24°C) is ideal for a wide range of plants. This range supports many subtropical and tropical plants that thrive in moderate warmth. Here’s how plants in this temperature range perform:

• Minimum Temperature (50°F / 10°C):
  • This is the lower threshold for plants in these zones, meaning that plants will still do well as long as temperatures do not dip below 50°F (10°C). Some plants may experience stress if exposed to temperatures lower than this, but many tropical and subtropical plants will continue to grow and flourish in this environment.
• Maximum Temperature (75°F / 24°C):
  • The upper limit of 75°F (24°C) provides an optimal growing environment for many plants. While plants may tolerate slightly higher temperatures, the range from 50°F to 75°F (10°C to 24°C) ensures steady, healthy growth without heat stress.

During the summer months, some plants may need additional care to avoid exposure to excessive heat, particularly those sensitive to extreme temperatures. Providing some afternoon shade or protecting sensitive plants during heatwaves can be beneficial.

Shipping Policy

We carefully select the healthiest and highest quality succulents to send to our customers. After choosing your plants, we remove them from their nursery pots and bare-root them to ensure they are ready for shipping. If needed, we allow the roots to dry before packaging. Each plant is wrapped in tissue paper to protect it during transit, and to help wick away excess moisture from the roots. Finally, the plants are packed securely in a sturdy cardboard box, ensuring they arrive in the best possible condition.
