Crassula capitella Green Surprise
Ideally, place in a sunny location.
Always water a few days after the substrate has dried out. Reduce watering in winter.
It can withstand temperatures as low as -3.9 °C for short periods. However, the plant is not frost-resistant.
Unlike most Crassula capitella cultivars, Green Surprise retains its fresh green foliage even when grown in full sun.
Crassula capitella Green Surprise is a cultivated variety of Crassula capitella, valued for its compact growth and fresh green foliage that remains green throughout the year. Unlike many other cultivars of this species, it does not develop red coloration under strong sunlight or drought, making it an excellent choice for those who prefer permanently green succulents.
The plant forms low, densely leafy stems with fleshy leaves arranged in opposite pairs. The leaves are narrow, triangular to lance-shaped, with a smooth surface and a bright green color. As it matures, it branches freely and gradually develops into a dense, compact clump.
Small white to pale pink flowers are produced in dense clusters at the tips of the stems. They usually appear during summer and provide a delicate contrast to the evergreen foliage.
Crassula capitella Green Surprise prefers a bright to sunny position, a very well-draining substrate, and moderate watering, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Thanks to its permanently green foliage, compact growth habit, and easy care, it is an excellent choice for containers, succulent arrangements, and indoor collections.
