Description
''Sinocrassula'' presents rosettes of thin fleshy triangular brown leaves. The plants are up to 20 cm height.
They develop dense clumps. Sometimes, ''Sinocrassula'' shows monstrous forms.
The inflorescence is a dense panicle up to 10–15 cm with whitish flowers and red-tipped petals.
Cultivation
They need a well-drained soil, a sunny or lightly shaded exposure. They tolerate a more shaded location but grow less. They require moderate watering, with very little in winter. In a temperate climate, plants can be outside.
Division of plants and pruning are the easiest ways of multiplication. Seeding is also possible.
