CRASSULA 
A very large genus from South Africa. They vary greatly in size 
and form and in the amount of reduction of vegetative parts. Some 
are tall, leafy shrubs others are compact, tiny and imbricate leaved 
or rosette types. Related to Cotyledon but with upright flowers. 
Some are shade plants others like sun but generally all will be 
happy in a very light or partly sunny situation. To prevent a lush, 
unnatural growth and to preserve their curious forms water only 
moderately and give as much fresh air as possible. Too much water 
or a close atmosphere makes the growth weak and drawn.
