Tylecodon Buchholzianus

Crassula rupestris subsp. marnieriana, commonly known as Jade Necklace or Worm Plant, is a fascinating succulent native to South Africa. This attractive plant is admired for its tightly stacked, rounded, fleshy leaves that grow along slender stems, creating a distinctive necklace-like appearance.

The grey-green leaves often develop beautiful reddish or pink margins when exposed to bright light and mild environmental stress. As the plant matures, its stems gradually become longer and may trail over the edges of pots, making it ideal for decorative containers and succulent arrangements.

Under favourable conditions, the plant produces clusters of small, star-shaped flowers, adding to its ornamental appeal.

Growing Conditions:

• Light: Bright light with morning sun or partial afternoon shade.
• Water: Water moderately during active growth, allowing the soil to dry between waterings.
• Soil: Well-draining cactus and succulent mix.
• Growth: Compact initially, developing trailing stems as it matures.
• Propagation: Easily propagated from stem cuttings.
• Care: Protect from severe frost, excessive moisture, and intense afternoon sun.

A charming and easy-to-grow South African succulent, perfect for collectors and anyone who appreciates unusual leaf formations.
