Meet Crassula muscosa, also known as the Watch Chain (or Rat Tail) Plant, named for its tightly stacked leaves. With its fresh green colour and unique texture, it’s become one of my favourites to use in arrangements, subtle yet striking, and perfect for tying a design together. Proof that you don’t need bold colours to make a statement, sometimes it’s all in the shapes, the greens, and a a little personality.

Care Tips:

Light: Loves bright light, aim for around 6 hours a day.

Water: Water deeply only when the soil is completely dry. Like most succulents, it’s more sensitive to overwatering than underwatering. In winter, it rests and needs very little.

Propagation: Super easy! Take stem cuttings, let them callus for a few days, then pop them into well-draining soil, or simply divide the offsets.

Have a little browse through my arrangements to see how this charming plant brings everything together so effortlessly.
