Silver Dollar Plant

A striking succulent with large, coin-shaped silvery-blue leaves stacked along upright stems — architectural beauty at its best.

The Silver Dollar Plant (Crassula arborescens) is a premium succulent prized for its dramatic, disc-shaped leaves with a distinctive blue-grey bloom and deep burgundy edges. Slow-growing and long-lived, it becomes an increasingly impressive specimen with age. Perfect for large containers, sunny verandas and statement garden positions.

Care

• Light: Full sun to bright indirect — full sun brings out the best colour
• Water: Allow soil to dry completely between waterings; very drought tolerant once established
• Soil: Well-draining cactus or succulent mix
• Difficulty: Easy
• Pet friendly: No — toxic to cats and dogs

Care tips

• Overwatering is the main risk — err on the side of underwatering.
• Feed sparingly with a low-nitrogen succulent fertilizer twice a year.
• Repot every 2–3 years; terracotta pots are ideal for drainage.
• Mature plants produce clusters of small white to pink flowers in winter.
