The stems of this Crassula are adorable, forming little chains of bright green, triangular leaves which grow straight upwards, looking from the top like angular rosettes and from the side like miniature green skyscrapers. The succulent leaves grow so densely that they seem to be stacked one on top of the other, and its distinctive appearance really makes it stand out in any succulent collection. The compact nature of its adorable foliage also makes it perfect for smaller pots and desert terrarium or succulent arrangements - it doesn't grow too quickly and adds a little bit of height whilst not overly dominating the scene. Keep it happy with a decent amount of bright light, and letting it dry between waters, and you'll be treated to more of its gorgeous foliage. 

Scientific Name
Crassula rupestris ssp. commutata ‘Tom Thumb’ (thick-leaved, rock-loving plant, subspecies that's slightly different, cultivar: Tom Thumb)

Synonyms: Crassula commutata

This plant was initially classified as C. commutata in 1967, but is now classified as a subspecies of C. rupestris following analysis in a 1975 paper

Common Name(s)
Tom Thumb Crassula, Miniature Stacked Crassula, Rosary Vine Crassula

Origin
This species is native to Namibia as well as rocky parts of South Africa.

Light
It's important to give your Crassula plenty of bright light. It can cope with indirect light but will do best with at least a few hours of direct sun. Keeping it on a south- or west-facing window will give it a good light level and help to keep a red tint on the leaves for that extra bit of colour.

Water
Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. It needs a big soak when you water, and plenty of time to dry out in between as soil that stays soggy risks root rot. During winter, leave longer between waters.

Humidity
Thrives in low-humidity environments. Make sure you aren't keeping it anywhere especially damp.

Soil
Use a well-draining cactus or succulent potting mix, or one with added grit, sand or perlite. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging. Repot every 2-3 years in spring as the plant grows.

Food
Feed every two months in the growing season, reduce to every three in autumn and winter.

Temperature
Ideal temperature is 15-26°C; make sure it does not get colder than 12°C in winter.

Pet-safe
No, this plant is toxic to pets and small humans.

Sprouts Top Tips
The red edges on the leaves become more vibrant with brighter light exposure, so keep it on a bright windowledge if you like the eyecatching colour.

Extras
The red edges on the leaves become more vibrant with brighter light exposure, making this plant a great candidate for sunny windowsills or outdoor settings in warm climates.

Did You Know?
The name Crassula rupestris translates to “rock-loving thick-leaved plant,” perfectly describing its preference for rocky terrains in its native habitat. The cultivar ‘Tom Thumb’ is a popular choice among bonsai enthusiasts due to its tiny, intricate foliage and architectural form.

Buy it
If you're looking for a comfortable thick and nice turtle neck this is the one. It's nice and form fitting nice weight to it to keep you warm. But not to thick that you cant just wear it on a regular sunny day if you wanted. The design pattern Is also very nice. Can dress it up or down. I bought the black and then immediately bought the rust orange color for my friend once he tried on mine he wanted one immediately so I gifted him one. He loves it. Definitely worth the buy. Excellent quality. I bought a Large 5"11 165lbs

A true turtleneck that retains a snug high neck.
Color: White, Size: X-Large
I've found this brand to have gotten better over the years as far as offering the American market what it needs in terms of realistic sizing. I only wish they'd realize that there are a lot of us who are long in the back and arms where my only choice is to go a size up and sacrifice a slim fit for sleeves that are long enough plus a back that doesn't go up past my waist just because I reach up for something, that and I like to be warm. So these are such nice quality turtlenecks that it's hard to complain about but maybe the company will read this. The snug neck stays up is plus number one since that's why I'm buying a full neck. They come with very nice weaves in the fabric, good enough for casual or formal wear. Finally the warmth you seek is there but I've worn them in what most would think isn't the right temp for a turtleneck. Also they have them in white! Yes, a lot of others just don't for reasons I can't fathom, and the pic you're seeing is accurate, these will form to your shape without being ridiculously thin material. Several washes later and they are as fine a garment as when I first wore them. I've only found one other brand that compares to these but it's much more expensive, COOFANDY is affordable in these times of expensive everything. Warm but also a lightweight shirt, I've gotten them really dirty with actual dirt and it washes out so well you'd never know it. Don't let my taking off one star stop you, try one yourself and you'll be coming back for more.
