Crassula tetragona, also known as Miniature Pine Tree or Four-Angled Crassula, is a distinctive succulent with a unique growth habit. Here’s a detailed overview:
Appearance:
- Leaves: Crassula tetragona has small, cylindrical leaves that are arranged in a spiral pattern along the stems. The leaves are usually green and can sometimes have a slight reddish tint along the edges, especially when exposed to bright light.
- Growth: The plant grows in an upright, branching manner, giving it the appearance of a miniature pine tree. The stems are woody and become more pronounced as the plant matures. It can grow to about 30-60 cm (12-24 inches) tall.
Growth:
- Shape: It has a bushy, upright growth habit with branching stems that resemble a miniature tree. The plant tends to be quite compact at the base but can spread out as it grows taller.
- Rate: Crassula tetragona grows relatively slowly but steadily, producing new branches and leaves as it matures.
Flowers:
- Blooming Period: In late winter to early spring, Crassula tetragona may produce flowers.
- Flowers: The flowers are small, star-shaped, and appear in clusters on tall flower stalks that rise above the plant. They are usually white or pale pink and add a delicate touch to the plant.
Care:
- Light: It prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate some direct sunlight. Adequate light helps maintain the plant’s color and upright form. The reddish tint on the leaves can become more pronounced with good light exposure.
- Soil: Use a well-draining soil mix, such as a cactus or succulent mix. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
- Watering: Water only when the soil is completely dry. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so let the soil dry out between waterings. Reduce watering during the winter months when the plant is less active.
- Temperature: Crassula tetragona prefers warmer temperatures and is sensitive to frost. Keep it in a warm environment and protect it from cold temperatures.
Propagation:
- Offsets: The plant can be propagated from offsets or “pups” that grow around the base. These can be gently separated from the main plant and potted up.
- Cuttings: It can also be propagated from stem cuttings. Allow the cut end to callous over for a few days before planting it in well-draining soil. Keep the soil moist until new growth appears.
Crassula tetragona is valued for its unique, tree-like appearance and relatively easy care, making it a popular choice for succulent collections and as a distinctive indoor plant. Its miniature tree form adds an interesting element to any plant arrangement.
