Gardeners, are you looking for a truly unique hanging plant for your Crassula plant collection? Look no further than the Crassula perforata, also known as the String of buttons or necklace vine! It gets its common name from its distinctive button-like leaves and trailing growth habit. 

The string of buttons is a succulent with square or triangle-shaped fleshy leaves that create a spiral shape around the plant's stem long enough to give it a stacked appearance resembling a string of buttons or beads. The gray-green leaves can take on a pink hue when exposed to sufficient light. Its unique appearance and fast-growing habit make it a real eye-catcher in any collection. 

The crassula perforata is a compact plant that can grow up to 18 inches tall and 3 feet wide. Its fleshy stems are upright at first and then become pendants over time, making them ideal for hanging baskets or cascading over the edges of shelves or containers.

In late spring to early summer, the Crassula perforata string of buttons produces small, star-shaped pale pink, white, or pale-yellow flowers. These delicate blooms add a touch of charm to the already stunning Crassula plants. 

To propagate Crassula perforata can be easily achieved by leaf cuttings or stem cuttings. Remember, the Crassula perforata is a species of succulent plant, while the Crassula perforata variegata - Variegated string of buttons is a variety of the stacked Crassula perforata species with variegated leaves. According to ASPCA, this string of buttons is safe for both humans and pets. 

 Watering Requirements

To water your Crassula perforata, simply give it a good drink when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Be sure to water thoroughly, allowing the water to soak through the soil and drain out of the bottom of the container. After watering, wait until the soil is completely dry before watering again. 

This lovely string of buttons prefers a watering routine that allows the soil to dry out between waterings. It's important to avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot and other issues. During the summer months or when this Crassula perforata is in a dormant phase, you can reduce the frequency of watering. This succulent plant is quite drought-tolerant, so it's better to underwater than to overwater. 

Remember, each Crassula plant's watering needs may vary depending on factors like humidity, temperature, and the size of the pot.  Always keep an eye on the soil's moisture level and make necessary adjustments to your watering schedule. 

Light Requirements 

The Crassula perforata thrives in bright full sunlight to light shade for at least 4-6 hours to maintain its compact foliage. If growing indoors, the string of buttons prefers a spot near a window where it can receive plenty of bright light throughout the day. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, as this can scorch the leaves. 

If you notice that your Crassula perforata is stretching or leaning toward the light, it may be an indication that it needs more light. On the other hand, if the leaves start to turn yellow or brown, it could be a sign of too much direct sunlight. 

Finding the right balance of light for your Crassula perforata is key to its overall health and growth. So, keep an eye on its response to the light and adjust its placement accordingly. 

 Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

Crassula perforata thrives in well-draining soil with a pH of almost 5.6 - 6.5. A good choice is a succulent soil mix, which provides the right balance of moisture retention and drainage. Moisture can be a real killer, leading to root and stem rot in no time flat. But fear not my fellow green thumbs!  

Planet Desert has got your back with our specialized succulent potting mix that includes 5 natural substrates with organic mycorrhizae perfect for promoting healthy roots and happy Crassula plants. You can also create your own mix by combining regular potting soil with perlite or coarse sand to improve drainage. 

When it comes to fertilizing, Crassula perforata doesn't require frequent feeding. During the active growing season in spring, you can use a balanced natural fertilizer NPK. Apply the fertilizer once a year and avoid overfertilization as it can cause the death of the whole string of buttons succulent. However, it's important to avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive growth and weak stems. 

Hardiness Zones & More 

The crassula perforata string of buttons is generally hardy in USDA hardiness zones 9-11. The string of buttons, on the other hand, cannot handle frost, cold, or freezing temperatures, so make sure it doesn't get below 45 degrees Fahrenheit in its environment. It prefers temperatures between 60-75°F during the day and slightly cooler temperatures at night. 

In terms of humidity, Crassula perforata is adaptable and can tolerate a range of humidity levels. These Crassula succulents can thrive in average indoor humidity, but it's important to avoid excessively dry air, especially during the winter months when indoor heating can cause low humidity. If the air in your home is particularly dry, you can increase humidity by using a humidifier or placing a tray of water near the plant to provide some moisture.

Be sure to add Crassula perforata - a string of buttons - to your collection today and elevate the beauty of your home or garden, with this stunning-looking plant.

My Pitbull absolutely loves the bacon flavor.
Style: Stick, Flavor Name: REAL Bacon, Size: Medium
This is officially my dog’s new favorite toy. She plays and chews on this thing nonstop. She has dozens of toys and she doesn’t touch any of them unless, she forgets where she left her bacon stick. This is a must for the perfect Dental Toy. I kinda suspected she’d love these things, so I also bought the knob in chicken flavor. She likes the chicken but, it’s so obvious she loves the bacon flavor. Smart girl. I absolutely love bacon also, bacon is perfect by itself, and it makes everything else much better. Except a bacon martini, so disgusting. The main reason I bought two was to put one in my vehicle, for road trips. My dog is my child, my Princess, so she goes almost everywhere with me. I knew this would be great for keeping her entertained and distracted while we’re out running errands and stuff. I always keep separate toys in the cars for her to chew on. A few years ago I forgot to grab a few toys out of the bin and she decided that boredom was a good excuse to chew on a seatbelt, no cool. Ever since then I decided to have dedicated toys that stay in the vehicles, so I’ll never forget again. The toys she loves the most are the ones I buy multiples of. One for the house and one for each vehicle. For me it’s simpler. I did notice at first, her gums did bleed a tiny bit. She’s a Pitbull, very aggressive chewer but, only with certain toys. This is definitely one of those toys. The bleeding stopped after a few days and things are back to normal. This is truly a unique product. I call it a toy but it has many positive perks. It’s her favorite. She plays with it all the time. Any time I need to distract her for something I grab the Benebone and show it to her, she immediately gets excited and self soothes. I feel like dental hygiene is the biggest bonus of all though. I’d say 80% of her toys have dental hygiene in mind, that’s very important to me, along with not having bad breath. She see’s a flavored toy, and I see her getting dental praises at every vet visit. All parties are extremely happy. This toy is also extremely durable. With that said, I knew she wouldn’t be able to chew through it overnight, or even in a week. It’s tough finding toys that she won’t chew through overnight. This product is lasting her a long while. It’s not always about the price. To me, a toy lasting more than a few months is more important than the money spent. Based on the video ad I saw online I knew it’d be a durable product, plus I love supporting happy families that bring something different, and unique to market. Happy family equals happy products. Once it arrived and I could feel the material and texture in my hands I knew for sure “no way she’s gonna chew through this fast, or maybe not at all”. Even though it really is lasting for a long time, I still feel like she’s chewing through it faster than other dogs. That’s just my particular dog. I had a tough time picking the right size for my dog. My Pitbull is small, about 35lbs. But man does she chew in the 100lbs + size range. I really wanted the biggest size for her but, I thought I don’t want it so big she won’t be able to even chew on it, or even just getting her jaws around it. So I went with ONE SIZE ABOVE the size/weight chart that is provided in the description, and it turned out to be perfect for her. It’s small enough she can chew and have fun. It’s too big for her to bite chunks off. In the past she’s bitten chunks off all her small toys. I put both the chicken and bacon in front of her to see which one she’d grab first. Of course it was the bacon. Then it took them both and put them in her toy bin to see which she’d grab. Again the bacon right away. I love bacon too, great choice thinking like me. So I the bacon flavor stays in the house, and the chicken I put in my car for road trips. The noises my dog makes while chewing and playing with this thing drives my wife nuts. It doesn’t bother me at all, not even a little. Thanks to multiple tours to Iraq, I can completely ignore petty noises and sounds. My wife on the other hand, will tell her to play in a different room. She listens and goes into a different room. That applies to both us for all of our dog’s toys, not just this one. To be honest these Benebones do have kind of a hard texturized plastic feel to them, so yes it does make a tiny bit of noise when she’s playing and chewing. I can almost promise and guarantee that any every dog will love the Benebone in any of the shapes, sizes, and flavors. It really is the perfect toy for a dog. Especially for aggressive chewers like my Pitbull, Princess Polly. She keeps her favorite toys in her bed. This Benebone has a spot beside her big squeaky tennis ball, rubber tug-a-war, and her deer antler. I haven’t even seen her touch the other toys since I bought the Benebone. I am extremely happy with my purchase and will for sure be buying more forever. I recommend buying multiple for inside your home and for each vehicle. You will not be disappointed, unless you buy one and your dog looses it and forgets where they hid it for later.
