Crassula tetragona (miniature pine tree)


The Crassula tetragona is a succulent plant native to Southern Africa but is a popular plant that is cultivated all over the world.

The name crassula comes from the Latin, meaning thick, referring to the thickening of the succulent leaves.


leaves, crossed-pairs


The name tetragona (four) comes from the arrangement of leaves on the stem which grow as crossed pairs.

Maintenance:

  • requires a reasonable amount of water
  • mostly prefers full sun
  • resistant to frost, but does best in temps above 4°C (40°F)
  • propagated from leaves and cuttings
  • popular with ornamental plant enthusiasts for it's use as a pine tree in bonsai

With the smaller of the two, it's hard to tell whether he's from a different 'branch of the family' (pun intended) or if he's just been roughly handled.
