Crassula perforata 'String of Buttons'

Crassula perforata, commonly known as the "String of Buttons" or "Pagoda Plant," is a charming and distinctive succulent native to South Africa. This plant is part of the Crassula family, renowned for its unique and diverse succulent species. Crassula perforata is particularly admired for its striking growth pattern and architectural form.

The plant features tightly stacked leaves that spiral around the stem, resembling a string of buttons or a miniature pagoda. These leaves are small, triangular, and often exhibit a lovely green hue with edges that can turn pink or red when exposed to bright sunlight. The compact and columnar growth habit of Crassula perforata makes it a fascinating addition to any succulent collection, adding texture and vertical interest.

Plant sizing is based on the diameter of the nursery pot (2", 2.5", 3", 4" etc), not the plant itself. Plants may be slightly larger or smaller than the pot they are grow in depending on availability or time of year. While we do our best to ship plants as similar to those pictured as possible, please keep in mind that all plants are unique from one to the next, and display color, shape, and growth variation based on current environment, time of year, and other contributing factors. Please note that we ship our plants as dry as possible in the fall and winter months to prevent root rot or freezing. They will plump back up after planting!
