Crassula Capitella, the "Campfire Plant"

Crassula Capitella

Family: Crassulaceae

Origin: South Africa

Bloomtime: Summer

Winter Hardiness: 30-32 degrees Fahrenheit

Crassula Capitella is also known as the "Campfire Plant" because it turns a beautiful bright red color when exposed to bright sun for long periods of time.

I've found that this succulent does not do well in shady spots, and will eventually elongate and wither. Bright sunny places indoors are best for it, or it can be kept out doors as long as the weather is still warm. Like most succulents, when the climate gets cooler it should be taken inside to avoid damage to the plant.
