Tom Thumb: Miniature Stacks of Green Leaves
Crassula 'Tom Thumb' builds slender stems wrapped in small, tightly overlapping leaves. Red or purple edging can accent the green foliage as light and seasonal conditions change.
- 🌿 Stacked leaves: Opposite leaf pairs create a miniature tower effect.
- 🎨 Colored margins: Leaf edges can deepen in bright conditions.
- 🪴 Small scale: Its compact stems suit a small draining pot.
Choose Tom Thumb for a fine-textured accent among larger-leaved succulents.
Care Tips
Light: Provide bright light and introduce direct sun gradually. Offer afternoon shade in intense summer heat.
Water: Water thoroughly, then wait for the soil to dry before watering again. Reduce watering during cool or inactive periods.
Soil: Use a gritty, fast-draining succulent mix in a pot with drainage holes.
Temperature: Protect from frost and freezing weather; bring containers under cover before cold conditions arrive.

Care Instructions
Please visit our Succulent Care info page for more details.
To ensure the health of succulents, it is important to plant them in porous, well-draining soil. Succulents require little watering, but don't like to sit in wet soil. To create an adequate cactus mix, simply add pumice, perlite, or grit to cactus soil to provide the proper drainage.
Allow the soil to dry to the level recommended in the Care Tips above before watering again. Always drain excess water.
Weather Conditions
- When ordering, be mindful that living succulents can freeze. If you live in an area that is below 40°F, please consider purchasing plant until the weather is more suitable.
