Description:

Very peculiar succulent plant much appreciated for its abundant blooms, as well as for its unusual appearance. It has tiny, flattened, closely spaced rosettes that form a sort of shallow cushion, only a few inches above ground level. The resulting mat, of a shade that can vary from bright green to greyish-green but also tinged with red depending on the sun exposure, grows rapidly until it occupies large horizontal spaces, which is why it is also commonly called "hairy pillow". Another feature of the plant is in fact the thick whitish hair that covers the entire skin, protecting it from atmospheric agents and allowing it to retain as much humidity as possible in periods of drought. Throughout the summer and part of autumn, Crassula setulosa will delight your rooms with tall inflorescences that fade from white to red, which will cover almost the entire plant and give your rooms a touch of liveliness and joy!

Plant care:

It requires a lot of light throughout the year, however, avoid direct sunlight especially during the hottest hours of the day.

It is preferable to keep it at mild temperatures and never below 7 °C, for this reason it is recommended to shelter it during the winter period.

Water moderately and only when the soil is completely dry. It is enough to water it once a week in spring and summer, reduce it to once every two months in autumn and to suspend it completely in winter.

The best soil is a well draining and porous one, for example formed by a mix of peat and pumice so that water does not stagnate.

They do not need frequent fertilization, it is sufficient to dilute the fertilizer with watering once a year.
