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.
