Crassula sarmentosa f. variegata is a variegated trailing succulent from South Africa, where it grows across rocky slopes in warm, dry conditions. Part of the Crassulaceae family, it offers a low-maintenance option with eye-catching foliage for succulent collectors and beginner plant parents.
The leaves are small and rounded to slightly pointed, edged with bright creamy yellow and lime green variegation that gives each stem a vivid two-toned appearance. Trailing and vining stems cascade from hanging baskets and planters. New growth often flushes with warmer gold tones, and the compact, fleshy leaves have slightly serrated margins along their edges.
Crassula Variegata produces small star-shaped white to pale pink flowers that typically appear in cooler months when nights are longer and temperatures drop. A night temperature drop encourages blooming, so moving it to a cooler spot in autumn can trigger flowering.
Hang it near a bright window where the vining stems can trail and the variegated leaves are visible. You can move it outside for summer to soak up natural light, but keep it sheltered from rain to prevent waterlogged roots. Because cats, dogs, and small children can experience mild skin or paw irritation from the sap, place it on a high shelf well out of reach. You can leave it up to ten days without water.

Crassula sarmentosa f. variegata grows well in bright indirect light to partial or full sun, though it may scorch in intense south-facing windows during summer.
Water it thoroughly every 10-14 days in summer and reduce to once every 3-4 weeks in winter, allowing soil to dry fully between waterings.
Crassula Variegata grows best in a well-draining succulent and cactus mix blended with extra perlite for improved drainage.
It prefers temperatures between 60-85°F and should be brought indoors before temperatures drop below 40°F.
