02Description
Sinocrassula presents rosettes of thin fleshy triangular brown leaves. The plants are up to 20 cm (7.9 in) height.
They develop dense clumps. Sometimes, Sinocrassula shows monstrous forms.
The inflorescence is a dense panicle up to 10-15 cm (3.9-5.9 in) with whitish flowers and red-tipped petals.
03Cultivation
They need a well-drained soil, a sunny or lightly shaded exposure. They tolerate a more shaded location but grow less. They require moderate watering, with very little in winter. In a temperate climate, plants can be outside.
Division of plants and pruning are the easiest ways of multiplication. Seeding is also possible.
