Description

Crassula muscosa, also called Princess Pine or watch chain, is an unusual succulent with slender stems covered in tiny, tightly overlapping green leaves. The stems grow upright to arching and may reach around 12 inches long. Its fine, stacked foliage makes an interesting accent in succulent bowls and small pots.

Alabama growing tips: Use a container with drainage and a gritty cactus mix. Provide bright light, with protection from harsh afternoon sun if leaves scorch. Water thoroughly, then let the mix dry before watering again. Water less in winter and move indoors before freezing weather; this succulent is not reliably hardy outdoors across Alabama.
