The stems of this Crassula are adorable, forming little chains of bright green, triangular leaves which grow straight upwards, looking from the top like angular rosettes and from the side like miniature green skyscrapers. The succulent leaves grow so densely that they seem to be stacked one on top of the other, and its distinctive appearance really makes it stand out in any succulent collection. The compact nature of its adorable foliage also makes it perfect for smaller pots and desert terrarium or succulent arrangements - it doesn't grow too quickly and adds a little bit of height whilst not overly dominating the scene. Keep it happy with a decent amount of bright light, and letting it dry between waters, and you'll be treated to more of its gorgeous foliage. 

Scientific Name
Crassula rupestris ssp. commutata ‘Tom Thumb’ (thick-leaved, rock-loving plant, subspecies that's slightly different, cultivar: Tom Thumb)

Synonyms: Crassula commutata

This plant was initially classified as C. commutata in 1967, but is now classified as a subspecies of C. rupestris following analysis in a 1975 paper

Common Name(s)
Tom Thumb Crassula, Miniature Stacked Crassula, Rosary Vine Crassula

Origin
This species is native to Namibia as well as rocky parts of South Africa.

Light
It's important to give your Crassula plenty of bright light. It can cope with indirect light but will do best with at least a few hours of direct sun. Keeping it on a south- or west-facing window will give it a good light level and help to keep a red tint on the leaves for that extra bit of colour.

Water
Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. It needs a big soak when you water, and plenty of time to dry out in between as soil that stays soggy risks root rot. During winter, leave longer between waters.

Humidity
Thrives in low-humidity environments. Make sure you aren't keeping it anywhere especially damp.

Soil
Use a well-draining cactus or succulent potting mix, or one with added grit, sand or perlite. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging. Repot every 2-3 years in spring as the plant grows.

Food
Feed every two months in the growing season, reduce to every three in autumn and winter.

Temperature
Ideal temperature is 15-26°C; make sure it does not get colder than 12°C in winter.

Pet-safe
No, this plant is toxic to pets and small humans.

Sprouts Top Tips
The red edges on the leaves become more vibrant with brighter light exposure, so keep it on a bright windowledge if you like the eyecatching colour.

Extras
The red edges on the leaves become more vibrant with brighter light exposure, making this plant a great candidate for sunny windowsills or outdoor settings in warm climates.

Did You Know?
The name Crassula rupestris translates to “rock-loving thick-leaved plant,” perfectly describing its preference for rocky terrains in its native habitat. The cultivar ‘Tom Thumb’ is a popular choice among bonsai enthusiasts due to its tiny, intricate foliage and architectural form.

Ultra Luxurious and Washable
Size: 50''x60'', Color: Ombré Hazel Brown
I’ve never written a review this fast. This throw is the height of luxury, style, comfort, feel and appearance. I used on our bed, only on my side as my husband has different temp needs. It doesn’t shed. I only needed the 50x60 inches, but it’s available in 50x80. What clinched the purchase for me was that it is washable and can be tumbled dried. It’s the perfect weight. Not too light and not too heavy. (Goldilocks would have loved it.) It looks and feels like real fur! It’s pricier than other throws but it’s 100% what I wanted and beyond my expectations. 5+ Stars!!!!

Beautiful and comforting!
Size: Throw(50" X 60"), Color: Tie Dye Brown
Love, Love, Love this throw! I love the feel, coloring, and wearability! When my Tortie Cat lays on it, it is hard to see her! This is warm, soft, and Beautiful! Looks as good today as it did when I got it for Christmas! The Unhide Marshmallow brand was my favorite, before, and I do still like, I hope this washes up as well as they do. It is heavier, But very comforting!

Nice blanket
Size: Twin(60" X 80"), Color: Tie Dye Charcoal
My partner and I fight over this blanket. It’s so soft and comfortable. I wish I got a bigger size. It’s a little bit darker overall than the photo. I believe I got the black/gray color. It’s a good weight, not too heavy but not too light.
