Container #30 (Joyful Succulents #7): String of Buttons

May 22, 2020 By Cindy Jungman, SDSU Extension Master Gardener

“String of Buttons” plants make the most attractive container! It’s beautifully colored button leaves look like they are strung together. A bonus is that this plant puts our pretty burgundy flower bracts late in the summer.

RECIPE:
• (1) Crassula Perforata “String of Buttons”

TIPS:
• This plant requires no pruning.
• Water thoroughly (until water runs out the bottom of the container) and then let it dry completely before watering again.
• This plant can be grown in full sun or part shade, but its color is enhanced in full sun.
• This plant can be grown inside in the winter as a house plant if given plenty of light.
• This plant is also easy to propagate. I will cover propagation later in the season.
