Crassula ‘Garnet Lotus’

Crassula ‘Garnet Lotus’ – 8.5 cm Crassula ‘Garnet Lotus’ is a captivating succulent prized for its compact, lotus-like rosettes and deep garnet-red hues that intensify in bright light. Its sculptural form and rich colouring make it a standout addition to any indoor plant collection, offering visual appeal with minimal maintenance. With its small size and slow growth habit, this variety is ideally suited for tabletops, terrariums, or as part of a curated succulent display, making it a perfect choice for both novice plant owners and experienced collectors.This charming cultivar thrives in a well-lit position with plenty of bright, indirect sunlight. For the richest colouration, consider placing it in a sunny windowsill or under grow lights. Watering should be minimal; allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings to avoid overwatering, which is the most common cause of root issues. A free-draining cactus or succulent mix is essential to ensure healthy root development, and during the colder months, watering should be reduced further to mimic its natural dormant period. As with many Crassula varieties, ‘Garnet Lotus’ responds well to good air circulation and benefits from an occasional wipe to remove dust from its leaves, helping it photosynthesise more efficiently. Repotting is rarely needed due to its slow growth, but if required, it should be done in the spring using a slightly larger pot and fresh substrate.Popular among interior stylists and plant enthusiasts, Crassula ‘Garnet Lotus’ adds a splash of colour and a touch of modern elegance to any retail offering. It is a strong seller in garden centres and houseplant shops due to its low-care requirements and striking appearance, especially when displayed in groups or as part of a themed succulent range.
