The Crassula ovata minor is a beautiful fresh green colored succulent. The leaves of the Crassula ovata minor are oval in shape and grow in pairs opposite each other on the trunk of the succulent. In the minor variant of the Crassula Ovata the leaves are smaller. This makes the beautiful wooden trunk of the plant stand out. When the Crassula ovata minor gets enough light the upper leaves color beautiful orange red.

The Crassula ovata minor is a cultivar. This means that this plant does not originate in nature, but has been created by breeding in nurseries. This certainly does not make it less beautiful. The Crassula ovata minor is a real succulent. This means that it can store a lot of water in its leaves. This allows it to withstand long periods of drought. You are more likely to give the Crassula ovata minor too much water than too little. When the Crassula ovata minor wants water, its leaves start to wrinkle.

The Crassula ovata minor can grow into a large plant of 1.5 meters. It will take her many years to do this. Eventually a woody trunk will develop with the beautifully shaped and colored leaves.

The Crassula ovata minor can flower. This is something that does not happen often, only with larger plants. From the heads of the Crassula ovata minor all bunches of small white flowers arise. This succulent is not only easy in its care, but also in making cuttings. If a leaf breaks off, you can simply place it on the ground. This roots after a few weeks and then grows further into a new plant.
