Maintenance

Caring for your Crassula is straightforward, as it is easy to grow. A care guide for the Red Pagoda highlights the importance of light. To achieve the brightest red color, this plant requires a lot of bright, direct sunlight. Place it in a location where it receives at least six hours of sun each day. Water infrequently but deeply, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot.

Placement

Place the Crassula in a spot where it can soak up sunlight and showcase its spectacular color. It enhances the beauty of rock gardens, window boxes, and container arrangements, both indoors and outdoors. Its vibrant hues make it a perfect focal point for a succulent garden or a delightful accent on a sun-soaked patio.
