Crassula orbicularis is a seldom-seen, cliff-dwelling species from a region of South Africa particularly rich in this genus. While it resembles several more familiar, widely grown species, it maintains a curious aerial habit, dividing through above-ground stolons. Despite this, the flat rosettes tend to press themselves against whatever surface they’re growing on, whether that’s a potting mix or a lithophytic mount for growers interested in pushing it toward a rock-mounted presentation reminiscent of Pinguicula. The species is native to the southern coast of South Africa and extends northward along the eastern coastline. Show more
