Crassula rupestris 'Daruma Star'
Crassula rupestris 'Daruma Star' is a captivating succulent, cherished for its unique foliage and ease of care. Originating from South Africa, this compact, slow-growing beauty features chubby lime-green leaves with striking red edges, complemented by unusual mottled markings. The leaves display a lighter centre, creating a delightful contrast that enhances its visual appeal, especially under bright sunlight. When stressed, the edges become more vibrant, transitioning to shades of pink or red, highlighting its unique charm.
The leaves are thick, wide, and pointed, often appearing streaked with a protective farina layer, which gives the plant its distinctive glaucous look. 'Daruma Star' produces small, showy flowers in delicate lavender and pink hues, typically less than 2.5 cm across. These blooms, though understated, add an extra layer of beauty during the flowering season.
This succulent thrives in xeriscapes, rock gardens, or as an indoor houseplant, making it highly versatile. It’s drought-tolerant and prefers well-drained soil, particularly in pots, where excellent drainage is essential. Propagation is easy through leaf or stem cuttings, making it ideal for enthusiasts looking to expand their collection. Whether in a hanging basket or a container, Crassula rupestris 'Daruma Star' adds a delightful touch of colour and texture to any space.

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.
