These unique qualities have resulted in names such as Watch Chain Plant, Zipper Plant, Lizards Tail and Princess Pine although it’s not even closely related to pine trees. Plants initially stand erect and begin to sprawl or trail as they extend and branch forming a matted or mounded clump of vivid green, worm-like foliage unlike most other succulents.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCrassula muscosa is perfect in a terrarium or shallow pot on a sunny window sill or in a succulent bowl, a miniature “witches’ broom” plant providing a welcome textural contrast to nearby smooth or rounded rosettes. Because of their small size and slow growth, they can be effectively used in miniature gardens and dishscapes. They’ll accept bright indirect light and some direct morning sun and are also forgiving when you neglect them, as they store water in their stems and leaves. Tiny,pale,yellow-green flowers sometimes appear in groups along the stems, more of interest to collectors than anything else.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCool plant for a succulent collection, with its distinctive chain like pattern this will create an eye-catching display against more round rosetted plants like graptosedums and echeverias.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKey Features\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eClosely packed leaves that are layered like scales, a series that zig-zags down each stem like a chain or zipper. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA green, textural plant not quite resembling other succulents forming rosettes. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWill grow upwards for a time then sprawl\/trail over the edge of the pot as it ages.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith water storing, fleshy, thick leaves, this is quite drought resistant.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCompact, slow growing - good for small pots, bowls, and even terrariums! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBright indirect light is preferred but tolerates a couple of hours of morning direct sun.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEasily propagated from a cutting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCare at a Glance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\" align=\"left\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e \u003ccol width=\"240\"\u003e \u003ccol width=\"407\"\u003e \u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Aspect\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRequirement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSunlight\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProvide bright, indirect light or soft, direct morning sun.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWatering\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLet soil dry out completely between watering;
