Crassula Surprise Party

Crassula 'Surprise Party' is a popular small succulent shrub with upright, branched stems and soft, green leaves covered in tiny hairs, which give them a silver shimmer. It can grow up to 20 inches (50 cm) tall. The leaves are spindle-shaped and can reach up to 1.6 inches (4 cm) long and 0.4 inches (1 cm) wide.

Crassulas are easy to grow but susceptible to mealy bugs and fungal diseases. As with all succulents, overwatering is sure to be fatal, so err on the side of being too dry rather than too wet. Never let your plant sit in water. If you water from beneath by allowing the plant to sit in a saucer, ensure you pour off any excess water after a few minutes.

These succulents are generally started by division, offsets, or leaf cuttings. Plants can be easily propagated from a single leaf. Sprout leaves by placing them into a potting mix for succulents, then cover the dish until they sprout.
