Crassula 'Morgan's Beauty' is an attractive succulent resulting from a cross between Crassula falcata and Crassula mesembryanthemopsis. It is highly prized for its dense, fleshy foliage, which can take on shades of pale green to blue-green, often accented by pink or red edges in bright light or cool temperatures. Leaves are generally arranged in tight rosettes, giving the plant a compact, bushy appearance.
Origin: Although Crassulas are native to South Africa, 'Morgan's Beauty' is a cultivar developed specifically for horticulture, valued for its beauty and ease of cultivation.
Growth: 'Morgan's Beauty' grows relatively slowly, making it an excellent plant for small spaces or as a potted specimen.
Flowers: Crassula 'Morgan's Beauty' can produce delicate flowers, usually white or pale pink, which appear on upright stems above the foliage. Flowering often occurs in spring or summer, but is not guaranteed every year in indoor cultivation.
Light: Prefers direct sunlight.
Watering: As with many succulents, moderate watering is necessary. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot. Be careful not to water over the foliage. This can stain the foliage.
Substrate: Well-draining soil is essential. Use a succulent mix.
Toxicity: Crassulas, including 'Morgan's Beauty', are generally considered non-toxic to humans and pets.
