Propeller Succulent (Crassula falcata), 4-Inch Pot
Propeller Succulent (Crassula falcata) brings a sculptural twist to a sunny plant shelf. Pairs of thick, curved leaves sit at angles along the stems, giving this succulent its propeller-like silhouette. You’ll receive one live plant established in a 4-inch plastic grow pot; any decorative planter shown in styled images is not included.
Points of interest: Its fleshy gray-green leaves under suitable light. Mature plants can produce clusters of small red to orange-red flowers, though flowering is seasonal and not guaranteed on the plant shipped.
Current and mature size: Ships in a 4-inch grow pot; the height and fullness of each living plant vary. With room and time, stems can grow taller and form a branching clump, potentially reaching about 12–18 inches tall under favorable conditions. Growth and flowering depend on light, climate, and care.
Care guide
- Light: Give bright light and some gentle direct sun. Acclimate gradually to stronger sun and protect from harsh afternoon exposure in very hot climates.
- Water: Water deeply, then let the potting mix dry completely before watering again. Water less during cooler, slower growth and never leave the pot sitting in water.
- Soil and pot: Use a fast-draining cactus or succulent mix in a container with drainage holes.
- Temperature: Protect from frost and prolonged cold, wet conditions. Bring a container plant inside before freezing weather.
- Feeding: If desired, apply a diluted succulent fertilizer sparingly during active growth, not to dry or stressed roots.
- Pruning: Remove dried leaves and trim leggy stems with clean tools; let cut surfaces dry before watering heavily.
- Repotting: Repot when roots crowd the container into a slightly larger pot with drainage, keeping the original planting depth.
- Propagation: Healthy stem cuttings may be rooted after their cut ends have callused in a dry, airy spot.
Pet and child safety: This Crassula is considered non-toxic to pets and people. It is an ornamental plant, not food; avoid eating it and keep loose leaves away from small children.
