About Crassula platyphylla f. variegata

Native to the sun-drenched landscapes of South Africa, this rare variegated form transforms the classic "Calico Kitten" crassula into a living kaleidoscope. Unlike its solid-green relatives, each leaf becomes a miniature canvas of nature’s artistry. Forms delicate, upright stems densely stacked with tiny, overlapping leaves. Mature plants develop a charming trailing or cascading form. Plump, rounded leaves (0.2–0.4" wide) display irregular cream, mint-green, and soft pink stripes, edged with a fine crimson line when sun-kissed. Variegation patterns are uniquely random—no two plants are identical. In late winter/spring, mature stems may produce clusters of tiny, star-shaped white or pale pink blooms, adding subtle elegance.

How to care for Crassula platyphylla f. variegata

Light: Crassula platyphylla f. variegata enjoys bright, indirect light or morning sun. Gentle sunlight enhances its pink edging, but intense afternoon rays can scorch its delicate leaves. East-facing windows or shaded patios are ideal.

Watering: Water moderately only when the top inch of soil feels dry, ensuring excess drains completely. Its thin leaves are less drought-tolerant than other succulents—avoid prolonged dryness. Reduce watering in winter during cooler temperatures.

Temperature & Seasonal Response: Ideal Range: 60–75°F (15–24°C). Below 50°F (10°C), leaf margins may deepen to ruby-red. Protect from frost. Above 85°F (30°C), provide shade and airflow to prevent stress.

Soil & Potting: A shallow, wide pot with drainage complements its spreading habit. Use airy soil (e.g., 60% cactus mix + 40% perlite/pumice). Terracotta pots help regulate moisture.

Fertilizing: Feed monthly in spring/summer with half-strength balanced fertilizer (e.g., 5-5-5). Withhold fertilizer in autumn/winter to respect its rest period.
Pest: Watch for mealybugs in leaf crevices. A dab of 70% isopropyl alcohol or neem oil treats minor infestations. Avoid over humidity to deter fungal issues.

Propagation: Stem cuttings root most reliably. Snip a 2–3" stem, let it callous for 1–2 days, then plant in dry gritty mix. Note: Variegation may not fully transfer to propagations.

Worth the money
Size: Medium (Pack of 2), Color: Assorted
I've had several sizes of Chuck-It ball launchers for years but had resisted buying the balls to go with them because I had about 50 tennis balls already that cost only pennies apiece and these were quite a bit more expensive. But, I got tired of the dogs chewing up the tennis balls. I'd start a ball throwing session with a brand new ball and for the first few throws it would sail through the air and the dogs would have to work to retrieve it. However on the way back, their jaws would work it, chomp-chomp-chomp. And when they returned to me, they'd want to stand there and chomp some more, despite my command to "Drop it!" Within 30 minutes, the brand new ball would have a hole in it and then instead of sailing several football fields through the air, then bouncing over a couple of trees, I'd throw it and it would piddle unenthusiastically to the end of the driveway before falling to the ground with a sulky thud, not even bothering to bounce. So - I finally grew tired of going through a ball every time I play with the dogs - which is everyday - and ordered these chuck-it balls. They are the same size as a tennis ball but made of a rubber-like material (not silicone) and after several months of use, have no wear and tear on them at all. The dogs can exercise their gums on them all the way back to me - throw after throw - and the ball still flies the same distance each time, and bounces satisfyingly upon contact with the ground. The description says "colors may vary" but the first packet I ordered were blue and orange as pictured. Unfortunately my dog lost the orange one the first time we used it. She got thirsty and ran down to our pond for a drink, dropped the ball in the pond and it hasn't been seen since. It is dense enough it doesn't float as a tennis ball might, and by now is probably so covered in mud and slime that I wouldn't recognize it if I tripped over it. Lesson learned: we don't throw the ball in the pond pasture any more. After losing the orange ball, I ordered a second packet of the balls so that I would always have a spare. The second packet is also blue and orange. So while colors may vary, in my experience so far, they haven't (which doesn't matter to me or the dogs).

Super Chewer Friendly!!
Size: Large (Pack of 1), Color: Multi
This ball is perfect for the super Chewer!! It is squishy and durable rubber that stands up to the aggressive chewer. It does not squeak. It has great bounce and is a great toy for fetch. Very cute to watching my pup bring the ball back for another throw. The rubber doesn't stick or have an average powering smell. It smells just like a rubber ball. It is highly functional for a great game of fetch! Highly recommend and very happy with our purchase. It is well worth the price. We will be ordering more.

Wonderful
Size: 9 Inch, Color: Red
Just bought my second one for my German shepherd. 1st one I bought a year ago. She managed to pop it within a few days. She still was able to play with it by grabbing ahold of the straps. Takes it everywhere. We call it her tether ball. Should've seen her when we got the new one out of the box. Hasn't left it alone since.
