This Crassula is an unusual succulent that is native to the Western Cape of South Africa, particularly the Karoo region. Commonly named a 'Rattlesnake tail' due to its scale like foliage. This succulent plant is monocarpic, which means it will die after flowering, however it grows offshoots (pups) that can be potted up to grow.

RATING: Super easy to care for

LOVES: Crassula 'Barklyi' loves being placed in a bright sunny position and enjoys some direct sunlight throughout the day. They only need to be watered sparingly when all the soil is dry throughout the warmer months and this schedule can be reduced considerably in the winter.

HATES: Do not over-water or leave your Crassula sat in water. Tip any excess water away after watering to avoid it rotting and do not mist this succulent houseplant.

Pot diameter 6.5cm

    Quick Care Guide

    Care Difficulty: This plant has very easy care needs.

    Light requirements: Crassula 'Barklyi' likes a bright spot with some direct sunlight being beneficial. A sunny windowsill is the ideal place.

    Watering: Like many succulents allow the soil to dry out between waterings, reducing further in winter. Do not let this plant sit in water as this will increase the chances of root rot.

    Humidity: Does not need any additional humidity so will work well in average household conditions.

    Toxicity: Toxic to humans and pets

    Feeding: Enjoys a feed around mid-spring during its growing season.

    Repotting: Repot when it has outgrown its current container. Use a Cactus and succulent mix and pot up one size larger in a container with good drainage.
