Crassula perforata – String of Buttons
Crassula perforata, commonly known as String of Buttons, is a unique succulent recognized for its stacked geometric leaves that spiral neatly along upright stems. The compact foliage creates a sculptural appearance that becomes even more eye-catching as the plant matures.
This easy-care succulent thrives in bright conditions and develops beautiful pink to reddish leaf edges with stronger sun exposure. Its unusual growth habit and colorful accents make it a standout addition to succulent collections and sunny indoor spaces.
Light
Prefers bright indirect to direct indoor light. Several hours of sun daily encourages compact growth and stronger coloration.
Soil
Use a gritty well-draining cactus or succulent mix with added perlite or pumice.
Water
Allow soil to dry completely between waterings. Water sparingly and reduce watering during cooler months.
Temperature & Humidity
Thrives in temperatures between 18–27°C and prefers low humidity with good airflow.
Fertilizer
Feed lightly once or twice during spring and summer with a diluted cactus or succulent fertilizer.
Potting & Repotting
Repot only when rootbound. Choose containers with drainage holes to prevent excess moisture buildup.
