The 'Tarantula' is a gorgeous new variety of grey green compact Crassula with sumptuously soft fleshy leaves which are velvety to the touch. Originates from Namibia.
There are around 300 species in the Crassula genus, many of which are commonly known as the 'Jade Plant'. They are part of the Crassulaceae family and are incredible easy to look after due to their drought tolerant nature.
The name Crassula, likely inspired by their plump leaves, derives from the Latin word 'Crassus' which means thick.
