How to Grow and Care
Light: Thrives with full sun but will do fine with partial sun. You will obtain a better leaf color when the plant has full sun. In very hot locations it will need some shade in the afternoons.
Temperature: Ideal summer (65ºF/18ºC – 70ºF/21ºC).and winter (50ºF/10ºC).
Soil: Needs well-drained soil but is fine with any pH level. It does best with a slightly acidic soil with a pH of around 6.0.
Flowers: When growing in the wild star-shaped, soft yellow flowers appear in small clusters. In your house or garden don’t be surprised if these randomly bloom almost any time of the year.
Propagation: The String of Buttons plant is easy to propagate from offsets, division and leaf cuttings. They are slower to start rooting so be patient. Roots often sprout better from leaf scars so it helps to leave one or more nodes bare when you plant it...- Learn more at HOW TO GROW AND CARE FOR CRASSULA
