Crassula swaziensis

Crassula swaziensis is a fascinating succulent native to South Africa, particularly the region of Swaziland (now known as Eswatini). This species is characterized by its striking, elongated leaves that are arranged in a rosette formation. The leaves are typically green but can exhibit shades of reddish-brown, especially when exposed to bright sunlight or during periods of stress.
 
One of the notable features of Crassula swaziensis is its unique leaf shape, which is narrow and somewhat triangular, giving the plant a distinctive appearance. 
 
During its blooming season, which usually occurs in late summer, Crassula swaziensis produces clusters of small, star-shaped flowers that can be white or pale yellow. These flowers emerge on tall stalks and can attract various pollinators, adding a touch of beauty to the plant.
 
This succulent prefers bright, indirect sunlight and well-draining soil, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor settings. It is drought-tolerant and should be watered sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot.
 
Overall, Crassula swaziensis is a lovely and low-maintenance addition to any succulent collection, valued for its unique form and resilience.
