Crassula Perforata
Crassula perforata
String of Buttons | Necklace Vine
Crassula perforata, commonly known as String of Buttons or Necklace Vine, is a charming and architectural succulent that brings playful structure to any plant collection. Native to South Africa, this fast-growing species features stacked, triangular leaves arranged in a neat spiral along upright to trailing stems. When grown in bright light, the foliage develops attractive pink to red margins, adding extra colour and character.
With its cascading habit and easy-care nature, Crassula perforata is ideal for hanging baskets, mixed succulent planters, rock gardens, and modern indoor displays.
Main Features
• Distinctive stacked leaves arranged in a spiral formation
• Green to bluish-green foliage with pink to red edges in bright light
• Fast-growing and very easy to propagate
• Excellent for trailing displays and mixed succulent arrangements
• Drought-tolerant and beginner-friendly
Care Tips
Light: Bright, indirect light or partial sun. Full sun enhances red leaf margins
Watering: Water thoroughly once soil is completely dry. Reduce watering in winter
Soil: Well-draining cactus or succulent mix with added perlite or sand
Temperature: Prefers warm conditions (15–28°C). Protect from frost
Fertiliser: Feed lightly with diluted succulent fertiliser during spring and summer
Propagation: Easily propagated from stem cuttings—allow cut ends to callus before planting
Why You’ll Love It
Crassula perforata combines sculptural charm with effortless care. Its unique stacked form, vibrant edging, and trailing habit make it a standout choice for both beginners and collectors looking to add texture and movement to their succulent displays.
The first photo serves a display purpose only. The succulent plant housed in the red pot comes in a 80mm diameter container. While the image provides a representative depiction of what you will receive, but may vary slightly because no two succulents are the same.
