About Crassula perforata ‘Southern Cross’
Crassula perforata ‘Southern Cross’ is an attractive variegated form distinguished by its strongly contrasting green and creamy white foliage. Its fleshy triangular leaves grow in opposite pairs along the stems, creating the distinctive stacked appearance characteristic of Crassula perforata. Pink to reddish margins can also develop under suitable light and seasonal conditions, adding further colour to the variegated foliage.
As the plant matures, its stems gradually lengthen and branch to form an attractive multi-stemmed specimen. Its combination of geometric growth, bright variegation and compact form makes ‘Southern Cross’ particularly appealing in pots, mixed succulent arrangements and rockeries.
Growing from Cuttings
Crassula perforata ‘Southern Cross’ is particularly well suited to propagation from stem cuttings, making this an easy and economical way to establish the variegated form. The two cuttings can be planted together to develop a fuller specimen or grown separately as individual plants.
Allow any freshly cut surfaces to dry and callus before planting into a free-draining succulent mix. Keep the cuttings in bright, filtered light while they establish and water sparingly at first, allowing the growing medium to dry between waterings. Once established and actively growing, they can gradually be introduced to stronger light while taking care to protect the paler variegated sections from sudden exposure to intense sun.
As new growth develops, the characteristic stacked leaves continue along the stems and the cuttings gradually branch to form fuller plants. Variegation can differ naturally between individual stems and through the seasons, with the balance of green, cream and white giving each developing plant its own character.

Orders are dispatched according to our weekly shipping schedule, available on our Shipping page, with tracking provided once your order has been lodged with Australia Post.
Succulents naturally change in colour, size and form throughout the year. Many develop richer colours and more compact growth during periods of seasonal stress, particularly through cooler months and brighter conditions, while warmer or lower-light conditions may produce greener, softer growth.
The plant you receive may therefore vary from the product images depending on the season, its stage of growth and current growing conditions. These natural variations are part of the character of living plants and do not affect their quality or health.
Pickup is available in Seville, Yarra Valley VIC by appointment. Order online as normal and any shipping charge will be automatically refunded after collection, unless you would prefer to receive an additional plant of similar value instead.
