Crassula cultrata
Also called Sharpleaf Crassula, Sharpleaf Stonecrop
Karky Stonecrop is a small, branching succulent shrub from the southern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal, grown for its flattened, knife-shaped leaves with sharp red-brown edges. It needs bright light and very sparing watering, and does best in a free-draining mix.
Crassula cultrata (Sharp-leaved Crassula) is a succulent plant native to the southern parts of South Africa (the Cape Provinces and KwaZulu-Natal).
It occurs from near Swellendam and Ladismith in the west, throughout the Little Karoo and Overberg regions, and across the arid parts of the Eastern Cape Province.
