ivory pagoda succulent Crassula 'Ivory Pagoda' – Serres Lavoie

Crassula 'Ivory Pagoda' is a compact and highly decorative indoor succulent, prized for its stacked foliage that forms geometric columns. The pale green, triangular leaves edged in cream create a unique architectural pattern reminiscent of a small pagoda.

Origin: Horticultural hybrid resulting from the cross between Crassula pyramidalis and Crassula perfoliata var. falcata , two species native to South Africa.

Growth: Slow growth. It develops upright stems composed of thick, triangular leaves arranged in tight layers. The foliage is pale green to greenish-grey with cream to ivory margins, giving the plant its characteristic structured appearance.

Flowers: Occasional flowering on mature plants. It may produce a flower stalk bearing small, star-shaped, pinkish to whitish flowers.

Light: Requires bright, direct sunlight. Excellent light promotes compact growth and can enhance the pinkish hues of the leaves. An efficient grow light can also be used indoors.

Watering: Water only when the soil is completely dry. Like all succulents, it tolerates drought very well and is very sensitive to overwatering. Reduce watering frequency when growth slows down.

Substrate: Use a very well-draining succulent potting mix, ensuring excellent root aeration and preventing any stagnant moisture.

Toxicity: Slightly toxic if ingested by humans and animals.
