Overview of Crassula Muscosa

Common Names: Rattail Crassula, Watch Chain Plant, Lizard’s Tail
Botanical Name: Crassula muscosa (also known as Crassula lycopodioides)
Family: Crassulaceae
Type: Succulent
Mature Size: Up to 8 inches (20 cm) tall, spreading to form a dense mat
Native Area: Namibia and South Africa
Hardiness Zones: 9a to 11 (USDA)Crassula muscosa, commonly referred to as the Rattail Crassula or Watch Chain Plant, is a fascinating succulent known for its unique appearance and resilience. Its dense, bushy growth habit and square-shaped leaves give it a distinctive look that adds texture and interest to any garden or indoor space.

Characteristics

  • Foliage: The plant features long, bright green stems densely packed with small, scale-like leaves that measure about 5 to 8 mm. This arrangement creates a striking visual effect reminiscent of a chain or tail.
  • Flowers: In spring, Crassula muscosa produces tiny star-shaped flowers that are typically white or pale green, adding a delicate touch to the plant.

Care Instructions

Light Requirements

Crassula muscosa thrives in full sun to partial shade. It requires at least 6 hours of sunlight daily for optimal growth. When grown indoors, place it near a south-facing window to ensure it receives adequate light.

Soil and Potting

Use a well-draining soil mix designed for cacti and succulents. A combination of potting soil with perlite or sand works well. Ensure that pots have drainage holes to prevent water accumulation, which can lead to root rot.

Watering

Employ the “soak and dry” method for watering. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. During the growing season (spring and summer), water every 1 to 2 weeks, while in winter, reduce watering frequency as the plant becomes dormant.

Temperature and Humidity

Crassula muscosa prefers moderate temperatures between 50°F to 80°F (10°C to 27°C). It is not frost-hardy, so protect it from temperatures below 20°F (-6.7°C). This succulent prefers low humidity environments typical of its native habitat.

Fertilization

Fertilize during the growing season with a diluted cactus fertilizer every 4 to 8 weeks. Avoid fertilizing during winter when the plant is dormant.

Propagation

Crassula muscosa can be easily propagated through stem cuttings:

  1. Use clean scissors or a sharp knife to cut a healthy stem.
  2. Allow the cut end to callous for several days.
  3. Plant the cutting in well-draining soil and water only when the soil has dried out completely.

Common Issues

  • Pests: Watch for pests such as mealybugs and aphids. Treat infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
  • Diseases: Overwatering is the primary concern for this succulent, leading to root rot. Ensure proper watering techniques are followed.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. How often should I water my Crassula muscosa?
    Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, typically every 1 to 2 weeks during the growing season and less frequently in winter.
  2.  Can I grow Crassula muscosa outdoors?
    Yes, it can be grown outdoors in USDA hardiness zones 9a to 11 but should be protected from frost.
  3. Why are my plant's leaves turning yellow?
    Yellowing leaves may indicate overwatering or insufficient light. Adjust your watering habits and ensure adequate sunlight exposure.
  4. How do I propagate Crassula muscosa?
    Propagation can be done through stem cuttings; allow cuttings to callous before planting in well-draining soil.
  5. Is Crassula muscosa toxic?
    This plant is considered mildly toxic; keep it out of reach of pets and small children who may ingest parts of it.

Our German Sheppard loves these
Size: Medium
These cost a bit more than tennis balls, but they are so much nicer and longer lasting. For starters, they stay cleaner than tennis balls because they’re smooth rubber. Dirt won’t build up on them and if anything does stick, like grass or soil, it falls off once the dog slobber dries. They’re also thick, so they don’t fall apart or blow out like a normal tennis ball does in our dog’s jaws after 30 seconds. Our GS chomps on these like crazy and the only damage they’ve suffered is a crack that developed from the edge of the hole, but the crack is growing very slowly and none of these balls have totally failed yet. The balls do whistle when thrown ant high speed and that may help a dog track and locate it, but I’m not sure. Our neighbors hear the whistling too so it’s far from silent. Lastly the orange ball is easy to locate out in our yard, but the dark blue practically disappears.

Great for smaller dogs
Size: Small
These two balls are perfect for the smaller mouthed dog that loves to play fetch. These balls are not only super durable (lots of teeth biting), but float in the baby pool we use for our miniature dachshunds. The value here is much better than you’d find anywhere else. The noise, if bitten hard enough, was “low” at best. Easy to spot/find if overthrown. Will definitely buy again once these are in bad repair; so far, so good-love these for my fur babies!

My dogs favorite balls
Size: Medium
These are great for my dog who always has to have a ball in her mouth. Not too hard so I don't have to worry about her teeth. They last for ever. They do lose their shape a little over time (like I said, she always has a ball in her mouth) they become a little oval in shape. They still bounce, she still chases it and she still chews on it so I don't think she notices or cares. I've gotten her a bag full of these over time and I have only seen one that she chewed a chunk out.

My Dachshunds Love These
Size: Small
These balls are durable, flexible material, highly chewable without being easily destroyed. I stuff them with Milkbone Maro Snacks, which are just the right size to twist into the holes in the ball. My dogs literally get an hour+ chewing and chasing entertainment from these. They chew them, they sometimes 'pop' out of their mouths, go rolling across the floor, dogs chasing them. This satisfies their urge to hunt prey. Dachshunds can easily tear this kind of stuff-it-toy apart. These have lasted for a long time without tearing or shredding. I would NOT recommend them for a dog much larger than a tweenie weenie. They're a bit on the small side and might be swallowed by a larger dog. It would be cool it they also came in a larger size (and probably ball wall thickness also) for the bigger dogs to enjoy. These stuff-it chew balls are better than the kong balls my dogs had before these. Highly recommend them.

My puppy’s favorite fetch toy!
Size: Small
Update Aug 27, 2024: After 10 months, these are still his favorite ball. He’s obsessed with fetching and plays with them all day. They do bounce really high. Unfortunately, the small size aren’t available for sale anywhere anymore. I tried the medium size, and he has a bit of trouble hanging on to them, but he manages. Weirdly, he prefers the orange one, but he also plays with the blue one. My 7 month old Shih Tzu puppy loves to fetch, and these are his new favorites. They’re small enough to fit in his mouth, and they are made of hard plastic, so he’s able to hold on to them. They have a lot of bounce, and this adds to the fun for him. I highly recommend them.
