Description
Sinocrassula are a genus of subtropical succulents. Their Latin name, Sinocrassula, means “Chinese Crassula,” in reference to their native lands. These succulents are unique and in high demand as an ornamental house plant for their unique growth pattern. While small and compact, the rosettes tend to spiral and take on different shapes. Many species of Sinocrassula die shortly after flowering, and flower only once in their lifetime.
