rassula arborescens subsp. undulatifolia 'Curly', also known as the Curly Jade Plant, is a striking succulent with wavy, twisted leaves that give it a playful and elegant appearance. This rare variety of Crassula arborescens originates from South Africa and is known for its blue-green, curled foliage. Thanks to its thick, water-retaining leaves, 'Curly' is perfectly adapted to dry conditions, making it a low-maintenance plant ideal for homes and offices. With sufficient light, it maintains a compact shape and rich leaf texture. In warmer climates, it may produce small white flowers, although blooming is rare in colder regions. Even without flowers, Crassula 'Curly' is a decorative eye-catcher that adds structure and personality to any interior.
Care Crassula arborescens 'Curly' prefers a bright location with plenty of indirect sunlight. A spot near a south- or west-facing window is ideal. Too little light can cause leggy growth, while strong midday sun in summer may scorch the leaves. Use a well-draining cactus or succulent potting mix and ensure the pot has drainage holes. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings—this plant is very sensitive to overwatering and root rot. In winter, it needs very little water.
Occasional pruning helps maintain a compact shape and removes any dead or leggy growth. During the growing season (spring and summer), feed once a month with a diluted cactus fertiliser.
Size The plant has a height of 15–25 cm upon delivery, measured including the nursery pot. It is delivered in a nursery pot with a diameter of 12 cm.
