Crassula Marnieriana - Crassula Hottentot

We love the amazing looks of the Jade necklace vine! It’s got so much individuality and makes a great addition to any houseplant collection! The Jade necklace vine or Crassula Hottentot is a unusual, trailing variety of crassula. As it grows tall, it begins to spill over, making a great hanging plant which has small, star-shaped flowers in the winter. 

Native to South Africa where it sprouts from the ground, this houseplant will be happy potted in cactus compost in a hanging pot or on a shelf, allowed to trail down over the sides of the pot.

They prefer bright but indirect light, and in the right conditions they can produce white or pink flowers, but we can’t guarantee flowers will come. Cressula jade plant is a very attractive succulent even without flowers.

If you do want to give this wonderful vine as a gift, we’ll arrange a free, handwritten card if you just note your gift message at the basket stage of checkout. We’ll omit the paperwork too so the price won’t be seen, it’ll just make a lovely surprise!

***All Crassula are brittle naturally and when posted will have some minor breakages, small pieces that in the wild would naturally break away and propagate from the mother plant in strong wind or when a wild animal brushes past the plant. It's impossible to move these plants without some breakages, from the grower to the retailer to the customer. Please only buy these beautiful plants if you understand that while we pack carefully and have many years of experience shipping these plants successfully some breakages in the packaging are normal and to be expected. Refunds and discounts are not given for small breakages***

Should I feed this houseplant?

When developing our original Happy Houseplants’ Vegan Cactus & Succulent Food, we decided not to tinker with it too much, so you'll find no chemical supplements in this 100% cruelty-free vegan product. Our organic original Vegan Cactus & Succulent food is made from Seaweed harvested sustainably.

Seaweed provides a delicate blend of growth hormones and micronutrients that is perfect for all indoor plants. Houseplants grow throughout spring, summer and autumn, so they will benefit from organic fertiliser during this time to encourage flowering and keep them healthy and well. Check out our full houseplant food range here
