Crassula capitella

Pagoda Succulent

Crassula capitella is a standout choice for New Zealand gardens. Crassula capitella is a succulent that features pretty flowers and striking foliage. It carries fleshy, green leaves on creeping stems that turn bright red at the tips in bright light and when moisture stressed. Interesting clusters of small pink flowers are borne during summer at the ends of stems as it grows to 20 cm tall and 50 cm wide. Crassula capitella is often used as a houseplant but can equally be grown outdoors provided it is protected from frost.

Growing Crassula capitella Successfully in NZ

Crassula capitella grows well in most New Zealand regions. It thrives in well-drained soil with good sunlight and benefits from occasional trimming. Whether grown in containers, borders, or open garden beds, this plant is sure to deliver reliable performance year after year, making it a valuable addition to the home garden.

Crassula capitella Care Tips

To keep your Crassula capitella looking its best, ensure it is planted in a sunny to partly shaded location with free-draining soil. Water during dry periods and remove spent flowers to encourage ongoing blooming. Fertilise annually with a general-purpose fertiliser to maintain lush growth and colour.

Plant Size and Spacing

Crassula capitella typically grows to its mature size within a few seasons. Most varieties reach around 50 cm to 2.5 m tall and wide. Allow enough space for good air circulation—generally spacing plants 50 cm to 1.5 m apart, depending on mature width. Container growing is also suitable for smaller spaces.
