Crassula muscosa
Crassula muscosa, also known as the Watch Chain Plant or the Cat's Tail, is a unique and striking succulent that draws attention with its unusual growth habit. This plant features small, cylindrical leaves arranged in a dense, overlapping pattern along the stems, creating a fascinating, chain-like appearance. The leaves are a soft green, often with a slightly reddish tinge at the edges, adding to the plant's visual appeal.
Crassula muscosa thrives in bright, indirect light and well-drained soil, making it an excellent choice for sunny windowsills or succulent collections. It requires minimal watering, as it is drought-tolerant and can store water in its thick, fleshy leaves. This hardy succulent grows slowly, reaching a height of around 15 to 30 cm, and is well-suited for containers, hanging baskets, or as a standout feature in a rock garden.
With its distinctive appearance and easy-care nature, Crassula muscosa is a favourite among succulent enthusiasts looking to add a touch of the unusual to their plant collection.
