• Crassula cv. Moonglowe

Description: It is a common Crassula hybrid, possibly involving Crassula deceptorSN|11182]]SN|12127]] var. atra and Crassula falcataSN|12127]]SN|11182]].
It has compact overlapped leaves in opposing ranks without any space between them that forms a nearly perfectly quadrangular pagoda-like tower. The leaves are densely covered with short "hairs" or "fuzz" giving the plant its characteristic ivory colour (one of the reasons it commonly gets misidentified as Ivory Tower or Ivory Pagoda). Columns are upright and can get as high as 40 cm but usually fall over without support long before then. Eventually it suckers at the base and makes an attractive colony.<br />
Roots: Fibrous.
Inflorescences: It produces clusters of inconspicuous florets arranged in dense cymes, that rise above foliage.
Flowers: Minuscule at first reddish fading to apricot.
Blooming season: It flowers usually during winter and spring months or in late summer after the summer resting phase.

Cultivation and Propagation: It is a hardy winter grower (summer dormant) hybrid with excellent full sun tolerance, it does not do well in full shade as it tends to etiolate, falls over and rots easily. It do best in bright, filtered light with ample airflow. It require very porous soil with excellent drainage. Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Water with caution in winter, as the plant is prone to rot right at the base and can lose its roots if the soil stays cold and wet for extended periods, but can re-root if taken care of. Protect from frost to prevent scarring.
Use: It is an excellent potted plant great for windowsill culture as well as in rock gardens. Indoors only in brightest position.
