have a star shape. They can grow up to 80 cm or 30 inches. They are evergreen succulents and are often a popular option for bonsai. GROWING CRASSULA OVATA GOLLUM INDOORS
The Crassula Ovata Gollum is a versatile succulent, and it can be grown both indoors and outdoors as long as it is well taken care of. They need well-draining soil and sunlight so that they can grow properly.
While growing Crassula Ovata Gollum indoors, you need to make sure that they are kept somewhere with a lot of natural sunlight. If you’re not sure about the amount of sunlight your plant is receiving, check its leaves’ color – a deep green color shows that the plant is not receiving enough sun, while sufficient sun exposure will make the leaves light green with a pronounced red tip.
A lack of sunlight will make Crassula Ovata Gollum leaves stretch in a process known as etiolation. This means that the plant needs more sun, and growing is unnatural to get more of it. Etiolation is harmful to the plant and will make it weak. Your plant must receive enough sunlight. In case you live in somewhere with inadequate sunlight, you will need to supplement with a grow light for your Crassula Ovata Gollum. SUNLIGHT REQUIREMENTS FOR CRASSULA OVATA GOLLUM
It needs 4 to 6 hours of light a day to survive and grow. They can grow very well in partial sunlight and in full sun. Before they can be placed in the full sun, they will need to be acclimatized to it to prevent sunburns. It is better to place the plant out in the sun during the mornings rather than in the afternoons. In case you live in somewhere with intense heat, invest in sunshades or ensure that Crassula Ovata Gollum only receives partial sunlight.
Crassula Ovata Gollum is quite resilient when it comes to cold and frost. They can tolerate mild frost and low temperatures, but you need to make sure that they are not kept outside for too long if the weather is freezing. If you live in an area that experiences extreme winters, invest in frost cloths or mini-greenhouses for your succulents. SOIL REQUIREMENTS FOR CRASSULA OVATA GOLLUM
The Crassula Ovata Gollum, like all succulents, needs well-draining soil. There are quite a few potting mixes available in the market, and you may use a cactus mix for your jade plant. If you feel that your potting mix does not drain enough, you can add perlite or sandy soil to ensure that the soil remains well- draining. Depending on your area’s weather and the humidity, you can either use a 2:1 ratio of potting mix and perlite/sandy soil or a ratio of 1:1. More humidity means that you will need more drainage, so you need to add more perlite or sandy soil. SucculentShop.co.za Page: 10

PONDO CLIFF CRASSULA - CRASSULA STREYI
Small Plant ± 12 cm height SucculentShop.co.za Page: 19
Pondo Cliff Crassula (Crassula streyi): An exotic, stemmed succulent with fascinating foliage. This subtropical species from South Africa has broad, glossy green leaves with striking, fuchsia to maroon undersides. The leaves have a glossy sheen and can show tiny dots of hydathodes.
It is a long-lived, slowing growing plant and makes an excellent houseplant. It can reach about 8.0" tall, sometimes sprawling and sprouting roots from decumbent stems.
Soft succulents will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. They need ample sunlight, great drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well- draining cactus and succulent soil with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite.
Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again.

When grown indoors or in a container, they may only reach four to six feet.
Crassula Perforata has a strong root system, it is fast growing, with sturdy stems spreading outward, producing thick, square-shaped foliage. SucculentShop.co.za Page: 26
The succulent foliage has a distinct appearance. When viewed from a distance, they look like small spirals.
Some people describe them as beads or buttons, which is why it’s called the necklace plant or the string of buttons.
Flowering and Fragrance
The string of buttons does produce flowers. However, they are small and have no scent.
The flowers are typically only a quarter of an inch in size. These small, star-shaped pink or pale yellow flowers bloom in the spring.
Keep in mind that this plant doesn’t always flower. If spring comes and goes without flowers, it doesn’t mean that the plant is dying.
Light and Temperature
The String of Buttons Crassula is recommended for USDA hardiness zone 9 to 11. It doesn’t tolerate freezing temperatures or extreme humidity.
Outside of the American Southwest, it should be grown indoors.
Temperatures in the 60s and 70s are recommended throughout the year.
If possible, give Crassula perforata indirect sunlight (partial sun) throughout the day. Plants look better when given light shade instead of full sun.
When placed indoors, any window other than a south-facing window with direct sunlight should work fine.
In an outdoor setting, ensure that the plant gets at least four hours of solid, bright sunlight.
Watering and Feeding
Like most succulents, the necklace plant can retain water. It doesn’t require frequent watering.
In fact, it’s a good idea to let the plant dry out between watering.
If necessary, add liquid fertilizer every two weeks throughout the growing season. The fertilizer should be diluted to one-third strength.
Soil and Transplanting
The necklace plant requires soil with good drainage. Standard potting soil with added sand should offer the right conditions. SucculentShop.co.za Page: 27
Transplanting is needed if the plant outgrows its current container. Repotting is also recommended every three years, to get rid of the old soil.
If transplanting the Perforata String of Buttons is necessary it should get moved in the early spring, just before the active growing season starts.
Maintenance and Grooming
To manage the growth of the Crassula perforata plant, trim it back. The easy to grow plant can be trimmed any time of the year if the stems start to get too long.
