GENERAL INFORMATION

• Crassula pubescens subs. radicans, commonly known as the Red Carpet or Jade Carpet, is a charming and low-growing succulent plant valued for its spreading growth habit and attractive foliage.
• This succulent belongs to the Crassulaceae family and is native to South Africa.
• The name "Red Carpet" is derived from the plant's carpet-like growth pattern and its tendency to develop reddish or coppery tones, especially when exposed to bright sunlight.
• Crassula pubescens subs. radicans produces dense mats of small, tightly packed, and fleshy leaves that are typically green but can turn red or bronze under the right conditions.
• The leaves are oval-shaped and covered with fine hairs, giving them a slightly fuzzy or pubescent appearance.
• In the spring and summer, this succulent may produce delicate clusters of small, star-shaped, white to pale pink flowers.
• 'Red Carpet' is an ideal choice for ground cover, rock gardens, or container plantings, as it forms a low, spreading carpet-like mat.
• It thrives in well-draining soil and prefers full sun to partial shade, making it adaptable to a variety of outdoor and indoor growing environments.
• As with most succulents, it is drought-tolerant and should be allowed to dry out between waterings to prevent overwatering and root rot.
• Crassula pubescens subs. radicans is a resilient and easy-to-care-for succulent that adds charm and texture to succulent gardens and arrangements.
