Crassula Pyramidalis 5.5cm H15cm

Meet the Crassula Pyramidalis—the geometric architect. With her tightly stacked, quadrangular leaves that form perfect miniature towers, she looks like a high-rise city for desert sprites. Sharp, structural, and undeniably fascinating, she’s here to bring some serious Brutalist design vibes to your sunniest shelf. The Formal Name: Crassula pyramidalis The Nickname: Pagoda Mini Roots: A botanical marvel hailing from the rocky, arid terrains of South Africa’s Little Karoo. Natural Vibe: Tucked between stones in quartz fields where she mimics the surrounding minerals. Care Guide: Sunlight: She’s a sun-worshipper. Give her bright, direct light to keep her towers tight and prevent "stretching." Best Room: A south-facing windowsill or a sunny conservatory shelf. Snacks: A very weak cactus fertiliser once in the spring. She’s a light eater! Tropical Feels: Hates humidity. She needs dry air and plenty of ventilation to avoid rot. Cosy Factor: Happy in the heat (18–30°C). Keep her above 10°C in winter. Thirst: The "soak and dry" method is law. Let the soil dry 100% before adding a drop of water. Safety First: Pet-Friendly! Generally safe for cats and dogs, but still best not for snacking. The Bedding: An extremely gritty, fast-draining cactus or mineral mix. Family Tree: Propagate by carefully taking stem cuttings or by seed. Space Needs: Truly a miniature, staying compact at around 10–15 cm tall. Speed: A very patient, slow grower. Every new layer of the pagoda is a win. Uninvited Guests: Watch for mealybugs hiding between the tightly packed leaf layers. Moving Day: Rarely needed; she enjoys a snug pot with excellent drainage. Haircut: No pruning required—her natural symmetry is her best feature. Fresh Air: A tiny oxygen producer for your brightest, driest spots. Plant Lore: Her name "pyramidalis" perfectly describes her four-sided, pyramid-like growth habit.
