Know before you buy
Yes, this plant is non-toxic to both cats and dogs, making it a safe choice for households with curious pets.
It thrives in bright, indirect light to full sun. Providing enough light is key to maintaining its compact rosette shape and encouraging the tips of the leaves to blush a reddish hue.
This plant is drought-tolerant and prefers a 'soak and dry' method. Only water when the soil has dried out completely, as it is susceptible to root rot if left in standing water.
Use a well-draining cactus or succulent potting mix. Standard potting soil retains too much moisture, which can be harmful to this succulent's root system.
Yes, if given proper light, it can produce charming apricot-colored flowers during late winter and early spring.
The Crassula 'Moonglow' has a slow growth rate. Its clumping, compact habit makes it a perfect choice for small containers or desk setups where you don't want a plant that will quickly outgrow its space.
