The stems of this Crassula are adorable, forming little chains of bright green, triangular leaves which grow straight upwards, looking from the top like angular rosettes and from the side like miniature green skyscrapers. The succulent leaves grow so densely that they seem to be stacked one on top of the other, and its distinctive appearance really makes it stand out in any succulent collection. The compact nature of its adorable foliage also makes it perfect for smaller pots and desert terrarium or succulent arrangements - it doesn't grow too quickly and adds a little bit of height whilst not overly dominating the scene. Keep it happy with a decent amount of bright light, and letting it dry between waters, and you'll be treated to more of its gorgeous foliage. 

Scientific Name
Crassula rupestris ssp. commutata ‘Tom Thumb’ (thick-leaved, rock-loving plant, subspecies that's slightly different, cultivar: Tom Thumb)

Synonyms: Crassula commutata

This plant was initially classified as C. commutata in 1967, but is now classified as a subspecies of C. rupestris following analysis in a 1975 paper

Common Name(s)
Tom Thumb Crassula, Miniature Stacked Crassula, Rosary Vine Crassula

Origin
This species is native to Namibia as well as rocky parts of South Africa.

Light
It's important to give your Crassula plenty of bright light. It can cope with indirect light but will do best with at least a few hours of direct sun. Keeping it on a south- or west-facing window will give it a good light level and help to keep a red tint on the leaves for that extra bit of colour.

Water
Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. It needs a big soak when you water, and plenty of time to dry out in between as soil that stays soggy risks root rot. During winter, leave longer between waters.

Humidity
Thrives in low-humidity environments. Make sure you aren't keeping it anywhere especially damp.

Soil
Use a well-draining cactus or succulent potting mix, or one with added grit, sand or perlite. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging. Repot every 2-3 years in spring as the plant grows.

Food
Feed every two months in the growing season, reduce to every three in autumn and winter.

Temperature
Ideal temperature is 15-26°C; make sure it does not get colder than 12°C in winter.

Pet-safe
No, this plant is toxic to pets and small humans.

Sprouts Top Tips
The red edges on the leaves become more vibrant with brighter light exposure, so keep it on a bright windowledge if you like the eyecatching colour.

Extras
The red edges on the leaves become more vibrant with brighter light exposure, making this plant a great candidate for sunny windowsills or outdoor settings in warm climates.

Did You Know?
The name Crassula rupestris translates to “rock-loving thick-leaved plant,” perfectly describing its preference for rocky terrains in its native habitat. The cultivar ‘Tom Thumb’ is a popular choice among bonsai enthusiasts due to its tiny, intricate foliage and architectural form.

Favorite Socks Ever
Size: Medium, Color: Black/Assorted, Size: Medium, Color: Black/Assorted
I absolutely love these socks, they compress in the middle which is my favorite thing about them! Keeps them from slipping off my feet and also adds support, love love love how they feel and how long they last! This is my second pack that I’ve purchased, I had the multi colored ones before and they’ve lasted me two years before finally starting to wear out and fade and get holes. Definitely going to be routinely buying these every year. Good to wear with my work out shoes...winter boots, Nike sandals, and my everyday adidas sneakers. These are so worth it!

Great ankle socks that stay put at a great price!!
Size: 6-9, Color: Assorted
These are great! I have been looking for a low profile ankle sock that is thinner but doesn’t ride down. (Picky, right?) I try to walk 5-7 miles on my days off. So it’s very important for me to not have to stop every couple of hundred yards, bend down, fix socks, then continue on my way while grumbling about NOT GREAT socks. These are not those socks. They really do stay put!!! And enough cushion to be comfortable also. So definitely a repeat!!

Great quality, no holes or fading!
Size: Medium, Color: Black/Assorted
I purchased these socks a couple years ago and love them so much that I just recently purchased them again! They fit perfectly, don't make my feet sweaty, and hit the ankle at the right spot. The material is so good that over years they have not faded and even though I wear the same few pairs every day, they have no signs of thinning or holes! These are the ONLY socks that I buy. I have the black ones as well as the multi-colored ones. I will never buy another brand or style again!
