About Crassula capitella 'Campfire'
Plants in the Crassula genus are amazingly diverse and come in an incredible assortment of sizes and colors. Many of the ones we grow today are native to a small region in South Africa, which makes that diversity even more amazing! They're super low maintenance plants that can handle long periods of drought, so great if you're prone to skipping waters (we won't tell). 🫢 Make sure they get plenty of sunlight and that they're planted in a pot with a drainage hole and they'll be happy as can be!

Hi, would anyone be able to tell me if this was in fact the cassula capitella campfire. All the pictures I’ve looked up seems like there is red on the leaves. Does he simply need more light or is this a different variety? #Crassula

Family photooo 📸 #WhatTheSuccWednesday this Campfire family just keeps growing! I’m surprised mom is alive & keeps growing more and more pups despite them sucking Scarlet dry 😭 that’s 14 pups separated from her & 6 more growing on her. I love seeing the differences in all of them them. Especially the red quadruplets 🥰 #CampfireCrassula #Crassula #HappyPlants #NewGrowth #SucculentLove #SucculentSquad #Succulents #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict

Any advice for these pups? I got this Crassula over summer and it started growing pups and losing its adult leaves. I kinda liked the idea of cutting a little below the 3 pups on the top to see how it would grow (check marking on second photo) but I’m scared it may be difficult for it to grow roots.. I’ve started to remove the ones toward the bottom of the plants once they’ve grown big enough. I’m hoping i can keep the momma alive. Pictures at the end of the pups in their new pots 🤗 #Crassula #CactusClique #PropagationStation #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents

📊 Taking a vote... 💦 #whatthesucc my Crassula Campfire bloomstalk rooted in water‼️😲 What's next? After over 3 months of blooming cute white flower in a glass vase this li'l lady started to root in water! Talk about #rootporn ‼️🤩 I have yet to have the patience to fully root a succulent #stemcutting in water so this was a total accident! 😅 What's next for her... 1️⃣ "Leaf" her be in the water for as long as she likes 2️⃣✌🏽Plant her in soil now and keep her by the east-facing window and see what happens. 3️⃣ Wait until spring to plant her in soil and put her outside on my west facing deck. Take your vote #greggang 🙂💚‼️ #succulentsquad #succulentlove #Crassula #propdontshop #propagationstation #waterpropagation #bloomingsuccs

📊 Taking a poll! ✂ Should I cut the bloom stalk? 🤔 I rescued this plant three or four months ago and it was a wilted stem cutting that had fallen off next to the mother plant which was close to dying from lack of sunlight. I didn't realize that the majority of the cutting was actually a a bloom stalk! 😍🙌🏽 🌱🌸 I'm trying to decide whether I should cut it off... 🤔 I've had great experience with the growth rate of succulents from cutting the bloom stalk right before the buds open. 💦 I was thinking I could enjoy the flowers by putting the bloom stalk in a vase of water - has anyone tried that before? #succulentsquad #whatthesuccwednesday #succulentlove #bloomingsuccs #crassula #campfirecrassula #greggang #greggers

I need help identifying the 20 succulent cuttings I got from Greg in the #SpringIntoSummer contest. I just added them all as separate plants. They are all planted in the same pot right now until they grow roots. Greg identified some but I’m not sure if they are right. And many it didn’t identify. So any help in identifying them would be greatly appreciated! Sorry for all the posts but I have to post each one of the 20 individually. Let me know what you think they are. #SucculentSquad

Needs more sun? I’m having trouble finding any information on the campfire Crassula! I feel like it’s getting enough sun but maybe not based on the way it looks? Are they supposed to stretch out like this or is it needing more sun?
