Key Characteristics:
Vibrant Variegation: The most striking feature of this Crassula is its vibrant foliage, which showcases a beautiful blend of colors. The leaves are primarily a bright lime green, adorned with creamy yellow stripes and edges.

Compact Growth: This succulent typically maintains a compact and bushy growth habit, reaching a height of 2-3 feet (60-90 cm) over time. Its manageable size makes it a perfect choice for container gardening or as a vibrant accent in mixed succulent arrangements.
Delicate Blooms: In the winter months, mature plants may produce clusters of small, star-shaped, white or pink flowers, adding a touch of elegance to the already colorful foliage.
Care Requirements:
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate some direct sun.
Soil: Well-draining soil mix specifically formulated for succulents or cacti.
Water: Water thoroughly when the soil is dry, allowing it to dry out completely between waterings. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.
