If you are looking for a unique and low-maintenance succulent plant to add to your collection? Then, look no further than the Propeller plant - known as Crassula falcata (or Crassula Perfoliata var. falcata)! Thisunbranched succulent belongs to theCrassulaceaefamily and has its origin in South Africa. 

This Crassula falcata gets its common name, "propeller plant," from the distinct shape of its leaves, which resemble the blades of a propeller. It is also known as the airplane plant, distinguished by its propeller-shaped leaves, which give it a realistic appearance of taking off. These grey-green leaves with reddish edges are thick, triangular, and curved, which can become more pronounced as the plant grows in plenty of sunlight. It grows as a compact shrub, often reaching a height of 12 inches. 

The flowering of the propeller plant begins from late spring to early summer. Once fully bloomed, the star-shaped bright orange-red flowers easily last up to a month. The propeller crassula is easy to bloom but needs cooler conditions to encourage flowering in the summer months. Propeller succulents have a medium growth rate.  

To propagate Crassula falcata from stem or leaf cuttings during the spring or late summer of the season; is the best approach to grow healthy propeller Crassula from the mother plant. Additionally, offsets Crassula falcata will self-propagate, growing offsets. This summer dormant plant can be easily propagated and is one of the few succulents that grows well indoors. 

The propeller plant (Crassula falcata) is considered friendly to both humans and pets. So, you don't have to worry about any major toxicity issues with this propeller succulent.

Watering Needs 

When it comes to watering the Crassula falcata propeller plant, it's important to strike the right balance. This succulent doesn't like to be overwatered, as it can lead to root rot and other issues.  

The propeller plant prefers a "soak and dry" watering method. This means that you should thoroughly water your propeller plant, allowing the water to flow out of the drainage holes, and then wait for the soil to dry out completely before watering again. It's crucial to avoid letting the succulent sit in standing water, as this can cause root rot. During the hottest months of the year (summer), your plant may enter a dormant growth phase, which means its water requirements will be lower than usual.   

Remember, it's always better to underwater than to overwater this succulent. If you're unsure whether it needs watering, it's best to err on the side of caution and wait for the soil to dry out before giving it a drink. Observing the plant and checking the moisture level of the soil will help you determine the watering needs more accurately. 

Light Requirements 

For the best growth, this propeller plant should be exposed to full sun to partial sun. If growing indoors, it prefers a spot where it can get a good amount of bright, indirect sunlight, but not direct sunlight for prolonged periods. Placing it near a window with a sheer curtain or in a well-lit room would be ideal. 

If you notice that the leaves of your propeller plant are stretching or leaning toward the light source, it's a sign that it needs more bright sunlight. On the other hand, if the leaves start turning yellow or brown, they may be getting too much direct sunlight. 

Remember, finding the right balance is key. You want to provide enough light for your propeller plant to grow and thrive, but also protect it from intense, direct sunlight that can scorch its leaves. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

Crassula falcatagrows healthily in well-drained soil. Use a well-drained specialty soil mix, as this type of potting soil mix has been precisely developed to imitate well-draining desert soils. Commercial succulent soil is affordable and accessible online. Here at Planet Desert, we have a specialty-formulated succulent potting mix that contains 5 natural substrates and organic mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your propeller plant to thrive. 

As for fertilizer, the propeller plant doesn't require heavy feeding. You can use a balanced, water-soluble NPK fertilizer formulated. During the growing season (spring), fertilize your plant once a year. It's important not to over-fertilize your propeller plant, as this can cause excessive growth and weaken the plant. Always err on the side of caution and use a little less fertilizer than recommended, especially if your plant is in a small pot. 

Hardiness Zones & More 

The Crassula falcata propeller plant is native to South Africa; it is not cold hardy in general, but it can be grown outside in USDA hardiness zones 9-11. It prefers warm temperatures and can tolerate a range of temperatures between 50°F and 85°F. However, it is important to protect it from frost and freezing temperatures, as they can damage or kill the plant. 

In terms of humidity, the propeller plant is adaptable and can tolerate a range of humidity levels. It can thrive in average indoor humidity, but it also does well in drier conditions. However, it's important to note that excessively dry air can cause the leaves to shrivel, so it's a good idea to provide some moisture through occasional misting or placing a tray of water near the plant to increase humidity. 

Remember, providing the right temperature and humidity conditions can help your propeller plant thrive and stay healthy. 

Give this succulent a try if you're looking for an easy Crassula falcata propeller plant to care for!

Durable But Quirky Interactive Ball
Color: Blue
I am 30 now and my tolerance for toys that break in 2 minutes is basically zero. I picked this up during a weekend DIY project when I was fixing the deck and needed something to keep the dog occupied. The E TPU material is straight up impressiveuch abuse it can take from a large breed. My dog tends to destroy generic store brand balls but this one survived being dropped down the stairs and tossed against the siding. It is comfortable enough to use daily without feeling like it is going to shatter or hurt the dog. The internal compartment where you charge it is smart and those little pockets for the charging port are actually useful sized for my fat fingers. The smart movement is a game changer for keeping a high energy dog moving when I am busy with home improvement tasks. I was slightly worried about the 8 hour battery life but it holds a charge well enough for a few play sessions. My whole household uses this now to entertain the dog as he will not leave us alone otherwise. It works best on my kitchen tiles but it barely moves on the thick rug in the living room which is frustrating. The vibration is loud enough to be annoying when I am trying to focus on work. It is a solid 3 star product as it does what it says but has some quirks that make it less than perfect. Spending 19.99 is fair for the durability you get compared to cheaper options. I like that it is USB rechargeable instead of eating through batteries. It is not perfect but it serves a purpose in my chaotic house.

Engaging and Durable: High-Energy Play with a Caveat for Sensitive Pups
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
Finding an automated toy that can survive the jaws of an aggressive chewer while keeping them physically engaged is a major win for busy pet owners. This smart interactive dog toy offers an excellent, high-tech way to keep high-energy dogs active, though its enthusiastic movement might be a bit intense for more timid pets. Dynamic and Instinct-Triggering Movement: The core appeal of this toy is its smart interactive movement. This automatic bouncing ball activates immediately upon touch, rolling and bouncing in entirely unpredictable directions. This erratic motion successfully triggers a dog's natural chasing instincts, keeping them thoroughly engaged and entertained for hours, which is incredibly helpful when you are unavailable to play. However, because the movement is so sudden and dynamic, it can occasionally scare more sensitive or easily startled dogs. Chew-Proof and Safe Construction: The durability and structural safety of the ball are highly impressive: *Chew-Proof E-TPU: Crafted with a high-density E-TPU shell, the toy is specifically built to withstand aggressive chewing and rough play from medium to large breeds. It holds up remarkably well against scratches and deep bites for long-lasting use. *Pet-Friendly Materials: The non-toxic, BPA-free material is completely safe and remains gentle on your dog's teeth and gums during fetch or heavy chewing sessions. *Injure-Free Design: The toy is engineered with smooth, rounded edges to prevent any accidental cuts or injuries during high-speed play. Supporting an Active Lifestyle: This toy serves as a fantastic tool for supporting an active lifestyle. It encourages vital daily exercise to help maintain your dog's physical health, significantly reduces boredom, and curbs destructive behaviors like furniture chewing. This makes it an absolute lifesaver for high-energy pups that need a constant physical outlet. Convenient USB Rechargeability: Powering the toy is simple and environmentally friendly. It is equipped with a USB rechargeable battery that delivers up to 8 hours of continuous play on a single charge. It also includes the necessary USB charging cable, ensuring you can quickly plug it in and have it ready for the next play session without constantly buying disposable batteries. Bottom Line: I highly recommend this smart interactive dog toy for owners of high-energy, medium-to-large breeds that need an indestructible, engaging outlet. While it may frighten more timid or anxious dogs due to its unpredictable bouncing, its premium E-TPU durability, great battery life, and excellent exercise value make it a fantastic investment for a healthier, happier pet.

Ymswznwe Smart Interactive Dog Toy, Pet Automatic Moving Bouncing Ball, Chew-Proof
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
This toy has been so much fun to watch my dogs interact with. I love the randomness of the movements because it keeps them guessing and keeps the toy interesting instead of becoming predictable after five minutes. They definitely weren’t sure what to think of it at first, but once they figured it out, it became hilarious entertainment. One of my dogs especially likes to hold it in his mouth and just let it vibrate, which cracks me up every time. I think toys like this are great not only for physical activity, but also for mental stimulation and curiosity. It gets them engaged in a different way than a regular ball or chew toy. While I wouldn’t consider my dogs “power chewers,” toys usually do not last long around here, so I was pleasantly surprised by how well this has held up. At the time of this review, it still looks basically brand new, so it is pretty durable. I also really appreciate that it’s rechargeable. I’m glad I’m not constantly going through batteries with a toy like this.

Interesting Premise
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
It's an interesting premise for a toy -- it has a vibrating gyrator in the middle which turns on randomly for random durations. This then causes the ball to vibrate and roll around the floor. It really needs to be on a hardwood floor to move, though -- when I put it on their dog bed, it vibrates but then doesn't move anywhere. I tried a few times to get my four dogs to interact this this ball toy, but they are clearly not interested.
