Description

Crassula ‘Stretto’

Crassula ‘Stretto’ is a distinctive and attractive succulent cultivar, notable for its unique growth habit and foliage. Unlike many Crassulas, ‘Stretto’ does not feature stacking leaves. Instead, it forms a compact, upright plant with slender, elongated stems that can reach heights of 15-20 cm. The plant’s growth pattern creates a bushy, somewhat columnar appearance.

The leaves of Crassula ‘Stretto’ are small, narrow, and lance-shaped, growing oppositely along the stems. They are typically a pale green to grey-green colour, often developing a reddish or pinkish tinge at the tips and edges when exposed to bright light or cooler temperatures. This colour variation adds to the plant’s visual interest.

Thriving in bright, indirect light and well-draining soil, Crassula ‘Stretto’ is relatively low-maintenance. It’s an excellent choice for small pots, rock gardens, or as part of succulent arrangements. Its unique form and compact size make it popular among succulent enthusiasts and collectors looking for plants with interesting textures and growth habits.
