Crassula portulacea

Crassula are succulent, herbaceous plants. Some varieties are suitable for rock gardens in mild regions as long as the soil is well drained. The thick leaves are often covered with hair or 'meal' and the flowers are generally small in size and borne on terminal panicles. Crassulas can easily be grown from leaf cuttings. Crassula portulacea is often used for bonsai due to its small size. They grow slowly and can be trimmed into the shape of trees with interesting trunks.
