Crassula rupestris subsp. marnieriana 'Hottentot' – Sculptural Succulent With Stacked Foliage

Looking for a compact succulent with bold texture and minimal upkeep? Crassula 'Hottentot' checks all the boxes. Its tightly stacked, rounded leaves wrap spirally around upright stems, giving a beaded, architectural effect. Over time, the stems elongate and form cascading shapes – perfect for bowls or hanging pots. With plenty of light and cooler nights in winter, this easy-care plant may even produce soft pink flowers in tight clusters.

What Makes Crassula 'Hottentot' So Appealing

  • Stacked leaf pattern: Spiraled, fleshy leaves tightly arranged along compact stems.
  • Color contrast: Red leaf margins intensify under direct sun.
  • Growth habit: Upright at first, then gently trailing over time.
  • Size indoors: Reaches around 15 – 20 cm high and up to 45 cm wide.
  • Seasonal flowers: Pinkish-white, star-like blooms appear in cooler months with enough light.

Native Habitat and Botanical Background

This succulent is native to the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal provinces of South Africa, where it grows in rocky, sun-exposed slopes. It uses CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism) photosynthesis to thrive in dry, bright conditions – storing water in its leaves and opening stomata only at night to limit water loss.

Toxicity note: Mildly toxic if ingested. Best kept away from curious pets or young children.

Crassula 'Hottentot' Indoor Care Essentials

  • Light: Needs bright indirect light or gentle direct sun. Stronger light deepens the red tint on leaves.
  • Watering: Let soil dry fully between waterings. In winter, reduce watering sharply.
  • Humidity and temperature: Prefers average room humidity and temperatures between 15 – 25 °C. Avoid frost or cold drafts.
  • Substrate: Use a fast-draining mix (50% cactus soil, 50% pumice, lava, or coarse sand).
  • Potting: Opt for shallow containers with drainage holes. Avoid oversized or deep pots.
  • Fertilization: Apply a diluted cactus fertilizer monthly in spring and summer only.
  • Pruning: Light pruning in spring keeps stems compact and removes any damage.
  • Propagation: Stem cuttings root quickly after drying for 1 – 2 days. Leaf propagation is slower but possible.
  • Hydroponics: Not suitable. Needs coarse, dry soil to prevent root rot.

Common Problems With Crassula 'Hottentot' and How to Fix Them

  • Shriveled leaves: Typically from underwatering – give a deep soak and adjust routine.
  • Stretching (etiolation): Stems elongate in low light – move to a brighter spot.
  • Leaf burn: Caused by harsh midday sun – give filtered light or morning sun only.
  • Root rot: Usually due to soggy soil – remove rotted roots and repot in dry mix.
  • Mealybugs: Check leaf axils regularly. Treat with insecticidal soap or remove by hand.

Extra Growing Tips for Indoors

  • Growth slows in winter – this is normal dormancy, not a problem.
  • Unglazed clay pots help soil dry faster and reduce moisture buildup.
  • Wipe leaves gently with a soft brush to remove dust and maintain photosynthesis.
  • Better in wide bowls than tall pots – deep soil stays too wet and increases rot risk.
  • Older plants can form dense, trailing mounds over many years with minimal care.

Botanical Naming and Historical Background

The genus Crassula derives from the Latin "crassus," meaning thick – a nod to its succulent nature. Rupestris means “rock-dweller,” fitting its native habitat. The subspecific name marnieriana honors botanist Julien Marnier-Lapostolle. First described by Huber and Jacobsen, the plant was reclassified by Toelken in 1975. It remains a favourite among collectors for its distinctive form and easy care.

Bring Structure and Simplicity Into Your Space

Crassula rupestris subsp. marnieriana 'Hottentot' is more than just a succulent – it’s a living sculpture that thrives on simplicity. Give it bright light, excellent drainage, and minimal fuss – and enjoy its stacked beauty for years to come.

Love Thy Body
Format: Hardcover
Love Thy Body, Nancy Pearcey Written for Tenth Grade upwards (My granddaughter will read it.) Excellent for group studies. A study guide is included in the back of the book. About a month ago Nancy Pearcey was kind enough to pull me into her pre-launch group for her new book, Love Thy Body. Her book was sent to me that I might read it prior to its release, the only requirement being that I write an “honest review.” Apologetics can be a rollercoaster ride for me. With each page I found myself saying, “Yes. OK, that’s good. Excellent! Pure gold.” Then again, “Push that a step further. A chink in the wall opened, but now a bit further. Just a bit more!” As Nancy Pearcey reminds her readers, we are not in a “cultural war,” but in a “rescue mission.” Apologetics aims at understanding the position of the “other” in order to find their weaknesses and demonstrate them so their logic falls on itself. Pearcey is an excellent cultural dissector. Every chapter addresses a specific cultural concern, those that are on the forefront of every Christian’s mind. Love Thy Body tackles issues of abortion, euthanasia, the hook up, sexuality, transgenderism, homosexuality, marriage and parenthood. Pearcey does a thorough job explaining the philosophical underpinnings of the dualist worldview splitting personhood and body supporting abortion that eventually evolves into the cultural disavowal of both gender and body. This dualist secular thought which prizes emotion over the body or biology I foundational to euthanasia, matters of sexuality, and the family. Pearcey defends the Christian scriptural worldview of the embodied soul created by God and redeemed, saved, and restored in Christ as the one that is truly freeing. She does this without using the Bible as a “battering ram.” "The main reason to address moral issues is that they have become a barrier to even hearing the message of salvation. People are inundated with rhetoric that Bible is hateful, narrow and negative. While it is crucial to be clear about the biblical teaching of sin, the context must be an overall positive message: that Christianity alone gives the basis for a high view of the value and meaning of the body as a good gift from God. In our communication with people struggling with moral issues, we need to reach out with a life-giving, life-affirming message. We should work to draw people in by the beauty of the biblical vision of life." There were times though, that I wanted stronger suggestions, “Get thee to a church!” But, again, this is apologetics. This is the wall-breaker. This is, “Oh, wow! Yeah! Now what do I do?” And in the hands of Christians, we should know what next to do. Sometimes repetitive, but that’s a good thing for students and people like me with short attention spans.

Fresh, great product from a good company
Size: 16 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I take this product to help clean out my internal organs. That's the honest truth. Especially for getting rid of and preventing a fatty liver. As a diuretic, the dandelion root definitely helps in the process of detoxification as well. I bought several other products from this company, and all of them have shined exceptionally well! Specifically when it comes to the dandelion root tea powder, I noticed that it has a freshness to it. Other products from other companies feel inferior. When I first opened up the package I could tell that it looked like 100% pure dandelion root. It's got a light color, it looks fresh, and also smelled fresh. I can't really say specifically how this product tastes on its own, since I usually mix it in with my morning energy smoothie which includes other detoxifying elements like lemon, matcha and Assam tea, and a few other things. I'll see this much though, their marketing is great, their packaging is great, the products are definitely Superior to other products I've tried from other companies. I would go as far as to say that the dandelion root powder is definitely helping to detox my body, and I would definitely continue to buy it again.

Good quality tea with distinct and flavorful taste!
Size: 16 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This tea has a distinct taste that is smooth, yet flavorful. It is my first time trying this brand, but I would definitely order again. I appreciate the organic content and nutritional benefits and cleansing attributes of this product. It does have a relaxing quality and the aroma is pleasing. I thought this came in tea bag form, but it is actually a powder which disolves in hot water. I would recommend this tea to others.

Good product overall
Size: 16 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Tastes great, but there’s a slight grit that is at the bottom of the cup. The package was smaller than I expected but seems like it will go a long ways. Comes with a nice little scoop to help with measuring. I don’t drink with enough regularity or dosage to notice any medicinal effects.
