United Statesvery cute
Beautiful plant! It arrived in wonderful condition and is looking good. : )
United StatesBeautiful plant but it is mislabeled
The plant is gorgeous. Unfortunately this is a form of Crassula silver springtime, or silver springtime x Morgan’s beauty, and not Crassula tecta. I thought it looked different in the photo but have been on the hunt to replace a nice tecta specimen I’d recently lost, so I just trusted the listing/description. When it arrived it was very clearly not tecta. I kept the plant b/c it is a beautiful specimen, it’s just unfortunate that it was mislabeled in the listing.
