Crassula caput minima, native to Africa, forms mats "pagoda" shaped "stacks" of small triangular emerald green leaves arranged in opposing ranks. Leaves turn reddish-purplish in bright light. Clusters of tiny white flowers. Crassulas require very porous soil with excellent drainage. In habitat, Crassulas usually grow in rocky quartz fields. Bright, filtered light and ample airflow. Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Water with caution in winter, as the plant can lose its roots if the soil stays cold and wet for extended periods. Summer dormant. Protect from frost to prevent scarring.
