Cistus Nursery Crassula perforata

To maintain that vibrant yellow and red variegation, this Crassula needs bright, direct light. A sunny, south-facing windowsill is ideal; if it doesn't get enough light, the leaves will lose their color and stretch out, becoming leggy.

Like most succulents, this plant prefers a 'soak and dry' approach. Wait until the soil is completely dry to the touch before watering thoroughly, and ensure the pot has excellent drainage to prevent root rot.

It is a slow grower with a manageable, compact habit. While it can eventually reach up to 24 inches in height, it takes quite a while to get there, making it a perfect low-maintenance choice for desks or windowsills.

Yes, it thrives outdoors in warmer months, provided it is protected from extreme heat and heavy rain. Just be sure to bring it inside before temperatures drop below USDA zone 9, as it is not frost-tolerant.

It is best to let the plant acclimate to your home's environment for a few weeks before repotting. When you do repot, use a well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix to ensure the roots stay healthy.
