Crassula dichotoma
syn: Crassula gentianoides
Description
Crassula dichotoma is a distinctive succulent shrub or small tree known for its branching, dichotomous growth pattern. This means the stems repeatedly fork into two, creating a unique, architectural form. It has thick, fleshy leaves that are usually green and may develop reddish margins when stressed by drought or sun exposure. The plant produces clusters of small, star-shaped white flowers, often in late winter or early spring, adding an extra layer of beauty. Crassula dichotoma is well-suited to arid climates and requires full sun and well-draining soil to thrive. It is drought-tolerant and relatively low-maintenance. Regular watering is only needed when the soil is completely dry. It can be easily propagated from cuttings.
