🌿 In the world of Crassula, a leaf can be a jewel, a tree, or a tiny living sculpture. The genus brings together some 220 species, mostly African and especially South African, with an astonishing diversity of sizes, shapes, and textures. There are winter-growing species and others that are summer-dormant, depending on their origin. Some even grow into true trees, like the famous Jade Plant. Their cold resistance varies greatly with their origin: those from colder USDA zones are surprisingly hardy. A genus where diversity seems to have no limits.
