The stems of this Crassula are adorable, forming little chains of bright green, triangular leaves which grow straight upwards, looking from the top like angular rosettes and from the side like miniature green skyscrapers. The succulent leaves grow so densely that they seem to be stacked one on top of the other, and its distinctive appearance really makes it stand out in any succulent collection. The compact nature of its adorable foliage also makes it perfect for smaller pots and desert terrarium or succulent arrangements - it doesn't grow too quickly and adds a little bit of height whilst not overly dominating the scene. Keep it happy with a decent amount of bright light, and letting it dry between waters, and you'll be treated to more of its gorgeous foliage. 

Scientific Name
Crassula rupestris ssp. commutata ‘Tom Thumb’ (thick-leaved, rock-loving plant, subspecies that's slightly different, cultivar: Tom Thumb)

Synonyms: Crassula commutata

This plant was initially classified as C. commutata in 1967, but is now classified as a subspecies of C. rupestris following analysis in a 1975 paper

Common Name(s)
Tom Thumb Crassula, Miniature Stacked Crassula, Rosary Vine Crassula

Origin
This species is native to Namibia as well as rocky parts of South Africa.

Light
It's important to give your Crassula plenty of bright light. It can cope with indirect light but will do best with at least a few hours of direct sun. Keeping it on a south- or west-facing window will give it a good light level and help to keep a red tint on the leaves for that extra bit of colour.

Water
Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. It needs a big soak when you water, and plenty of time to dry out in between as soil that stays soggy risks root rot. During winter, leave longer between waters.

Humidity
Thrives in low-humidity environments. Make sure you aren't keeping it anywhere especially damp.

Soil
Use a well-draining cactus or succulent potting mix, or one with added grit, sand or perlite. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging. Repot every 2-3 years in spring as the plant grows.

Food
Feed every two months in the growing season, reduce to every three in autumn and winter.

Temperature
Ideal temperature is 15-26°C; make sure it does not get colder than 12°C in winter.

Pet-safe
No, this plant is toxic to pets and small humans.

Sprouts Top Tips
The red edges on the leaves become more vibrant with brighter light exposure, so keep it on a bright windowledge if you like the eyecatching colour.

Extras
The red edges on the leaves become more vibrant with brighter light exposure, making this plant a great candidate for sunny windowsills or outdoor settings in warm climates.

Did You Know?
The name Crassula rupestris translates to “rock-loving thick-leaved plant,” perfectly describing its preference for rocky terrains in its native habitat. The cultivar ‘Tom Thumb’ is a popular choice among bonsai enthusiasts due to its tiny, intricate foliage and architectural form.

Miracle cream!
This cream is unbelievable. goes in instantly, makes hands soft after one application and creates a barrier to protect your hands against cold and water. I live in VT and have tried numerous "extreme" hand creams that are heavy and greasy and useless~ this one is the best. I also like that it is fragrance-free except for that mild "Avene" spring water smell. I have two tubes, one for my night table and one next to the kitchen sink. I am 47 and have tried numerous face and body products`` you could say I used to be a "junkie" :) but I always come back to Avene. I have extremely sensitive skin and Avene products are a life saver.

My 75 year old hands appear softer and younger!
Avene Cicalfate Restorative Hand cream leaves my hands feeling very soft! A little goes a long way, I have had mine for a year. Soon I will be purchasing another tube. Yes, it is a little pricey for a hand cream, but does the job better then any other product I have used on my hands. Highly recommend this hand cream if you have dry, sensitive skin. It also has no added fragrance which I really appreciate!

Excellent product at a very good price. I will buy it again.
This is an excellent product at a fair price. The cream creates a barrier that protects the skin, while mosturizes it. leaves hands very soft, and it doesn't feel greasy. I know that this is a favorite brand (Avene) in France, and Amazon offers it at a very good price. I will buy it again, from Amazon. I bought it this year in Paris, and it was more expensive there.
