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.

Fallen for the Fallen Angel – A Guilty Pleasure Worth Every Page
Format: Kindle
There’s something deeply irresistible about a dark academia or trial-based setting, a brooding and arrogant fallen angel, and a fierce heroine with enough sass to go toe-to-toe with him. Wings So Wicked is exactly that kind of book—and I devoured it in just a couple of days. To be fair, the plot isn’t groundbreaking. If you’re looking for something fresh and innovative in terms of storyline, this might not be it. But if your reader heart beats faster at the mere mention of enemies-to-lovers, jealousy-fueled banter, magical trials, betrayals, and forbidden tension—you’ll feel right at home. It’s like catnip for those of us with this particular weakness. The chemistry between the leads could have used a slightly slower burn to make the tension sizzle longer, but I still found myself completely invested in their dynamic. There are moments and phrases that feel a bit cheesy or underdeveloped, but honestly? I didn’t care. The vibes were exactly what I wanted. This book isn’t trying to reinvent the genre—it’s here to give readers like me what we crave: high-stakes magical drama, angsty romance, and the thrill of watching a badass girl and her brooding counterpart clash and spark. If that sounds like your kind of story, Wings So Wicked will hit the mark. Here’s hoping Book 2 turns up the heat and keeps the magic alive.

You see one spicy scene the whole book but it doesn’t even MATTER BECAUSE THE BOOK WAS THAT GOOD. I’ve read 85 books in 2023-2024 so far and I’m pround to say this is my all time favorite. I’m so excited to read more of Emily Blackwoods books, this was my first time reading one of hers and I’m glad I did because HOLY!! Well done Emily well done

Fast paced romantasy you will not want to put down!
Format: Kindle
4.25 stars! I LOVED this book with similar vibes to Hush Hush, Fourth Wing, and The Serpent and the Wings of Night! It was fast paced with easy world building and will keep you turning the pages late into the night because you will not want to put it down! Huntyr is a fierce bad@ss FMC trained to kill vampyres her entire life. She is sent on a mission to go to the academy and earn her spot into The Golden City. Upon arrival, she is forced to room with the delicious fallen angel, Wolf, who is the only one who knows about her assassin identity. The romance, the plot twists, the secrets revealed, the battles, and the tantalizing training scenes had me hooked! And that ending…. I’m holding my breath in need to know hell! Read if you love: 🪽 Fae, Vampyres, Fallen Angels 🪽 Academy setting with magical trials 🪽 Forced proximity and slow burn 🪽 Rivals to lovers 🪽 Hidden identities and secrets 🪽 Tend your wounds “𝘖𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶.

Excellent Rivals to Lovers!!
Format: Kindle
The tension and banter between Huntyr and Wold was delectable. I absolutely love the fallen angel and all of his flaws. Huntyr is amazing too being a badass FMC with some major trauma. The world building was great and I enjoyed the training aspect of the story. The writing was immersive and was in the story the whole time. The ending had quite a twist that I hadn’t anticipated and made my jaw DROP. Excellent job! I also loved the narration. Laura is one of my fave narrators!

Fallen Angels, fae, vampires, oh my!
Format: Kindle
Rating: 4.5 | Spice: 2 (but a good slow-burn) • Main Characters: Huntyr and Wolf • I couldn’t wait to read this book; there was so much hype about it! And there was no doubt why. I fell in love with the characters and the plot itself. This book is mainly plot driven more than friction driven but it’s easy to follow along with. The characters are fun, easily understood. The main setting is at an academy where both the main characters are going through trials and building strength for the final test, The Transcendent. There are fantastic side characters as well. I loved the camaraderie between Huntyr and her friends. But we don’t like Lanson. 😆 We do have some plot twists that come into play throughout the book. Secrets and betrayal to be seen. I did adore Wolf and Huntyr’s relationship. It was a classic slow burn trope. They didn’t hit it off fast, but in time their feelings grew. I loved their banter, so sexy. Wolf is your next book boyfriend; Huntyr is your next vampire assassin independent bad-a*s female. Themes include loyalty, trust, self-discovery, a true slow burn romance. Side note: book ends on a angsty cliffhanger! • Emily, thank you for writing this awesome novel and I cannot wait to devour Book 2, Blood So Brutal! 😍 • Happy reading, my lovelies! xo
