About Crassula 'Dorothy'(Rare)

Crassula 'Dorothy' is a hybrid of Crassula susannae and Crassula deceptor. It is a small succulent plant characterized by its many-jointed leaves forming rosettes. It has a slow growth rate but tends to be densely packed. In autumn, it produces clusters of yellow flowers.

How to care for Crassula 'Dorothy' (Rare)

Sun/Temperature: It thrives in ample sunlight. If grown outdoors, it should be shielded from intense direct sunlight in summer and temperatures below 30ºF in winter. Indoors, it can be placed on a balcony or windowsill.

Soil/Watering: It prefers well-draining sandy or gravelly soil. When watering, keep the soil moist but not excessively wet. Increase watering frequency during the summer growing season, but reduce watering in winter to prevent root rot.

Pot: Use a container with good drainage, such as a clay or ceramic pot, and ensure there are enough drainage holes at the bottom to aid drainage and prevent waterlogging.

Diseases: It is susceptible to attacks by mealybugs and fungal diseases. Affected areas should be cleaned first and then wiped with soapy water. Overwatering can also lead to various issues, so avoid overwatering your plant.

EXTREME WEATHER NOTICE: The Next Gardener reserves the right to hold shipments during storms or periods of extreme heat or cold. This is to ensure your plant does not suffer while it is in transit.

Winter shipping

We insist on shipping succulents to our customers all year round. However due to the extreme winter weather, although we pack succulents with as much protective material as possible, plants are still at increased risk of frost on their way to colder areas. We highly recommend adding one 72-hour heat pack to your order or you can request a hold on the package until it warms up.

Please note that The Next Gardener is not responsible for packages that suffer cold damage without a heat pack. We cannot control the weather. Order at your own risk.

Hawaii, Alaska, and Other US Territories

Fortunately, shipping is available to Alaska, Guam, and other U.S. Territories. However, due to numerous factors beyond our control, including customs checks and shipping delays, free shipping to Hawaii and Puerto Rico is not an option. And we can not provide the 14-day quality guarantee for orders going to Hawaii and Puerto Rico. The buyer will assume all risk of damage when a delivery is delayed. We appreciate your understanding.

Sorry. No International Shipping for now!!!
