How to care for Crassula rubricaulis 'Candy Cane'

Sun/Location: Crassula rubricaulis 'Candy Cane' prefers full but filtered sunlight to transform color. It can be placed outdoors in spring and fall to get full sunlight. Shade is required in summer to avoid sunburn. If you live in a cold area, it is better to move it indoors before frost in winter.

Soil/Pot: A sound drainage system is required for succulents to live in. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil for them. Mix 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite to improve the drainage of standard soil if you want to DIY your cactus soil.

Watering: The best way of watering Crassula Burgundy Variegated is the soak and dry method. Water thoroughly when the soil is dry. Click here to learn How to Care for Succulents in Summer.
