Crassula Falcata “Propeller Plant” or “Airplane Plant”

Crassula falcata, commonly known as “Propeller Plant” or “Airplane Plant,” is a distinctive succulent native to South Africa. Its name comes from the unique shape of its leaves, which resemble the propeller of an airplane or the blade of a falcate (curved) weapon, hence the name “falcata.” The leaves are typically gray-green in color and grow in opposite pairs, forming a stacked arrangement along the stem. In optimal conditions, it produces clusters of star-shaped, white or pale pink flowers during the blooming season. Crassula falcata is a relatively low-maintenance plant that thrives in bright, indirect light and well-draining soil. It’s popular among succulent enthusiasts for its unusual foliage and ease of care, making it an excellent choice for both indoor and outdoor gardens.
