Wild succulentskuhle (59)in Succulent growers • last year Peeping out from under the grass or growing on naked rock, this is Hairy cushion crassula, C setosa #succulents #nature
These are wonderful! I love seeing plants in habitat. It's amazing they can grow on the rock like that
Yes, they grow in full sun all day long and those pictures were taken at the end of autumn so they are very red. They can get quite lush and green if it rains well
They are considered pioneer species, found in very inhospitable areas, have you ever tried growing them?
I once found a broken-off flower stalk and brought it home and rooted it. It grew a little while but then died. I should try again
Plants taken from nature don't often adapt well. Or, if they are adaptable, they are already in cultivation
That's very true. Some of the plants I have living next door are very easy, others not at all
Such a diversity in the Crassula genus! I wonder when that gets split up
Just as soon as the genetic sampling is done, I guess :) Right now the only unifying factor is the flowers
