About Crassula platyphylla f. variegata

Native to the sun-drenched landscapes of South Africa, this rare variegated form transforms the classic "Calico Kitten" crassula into a living kaleidoscope. Unlike its solid-green relatives, each leaf becomes a miniature canvas of nature’s artistry. Forms delicate, upright stems densely stacked with tiny, overlapping leaves. Mature plants develop a charming trailing or cascading form. Plump, rounded leaves (0.2–0.4" wide) display irregular cream, mint-green, and soft pink stripes, edged with a fine crimson line when sun-kissed. Variegation patterns are uniquely random—no two plants are identical. In late winter/spring, mature stems may produce clusters of tiny, star-shaped white or pale pink blooms, adding subtle elegance.

How to care for Crassula platyphylla f. variegata

Light: Crassula platyphylla f. variegata enjoys bright, indirect light or morning sun. Gentle sunlight enhances its pink edging, but intense afternoon rays can scorch its delicate leaves. East-facing windows or shaded patios are ideal.

Watering: Water moderately only when the top inch of soil feels dry, ensuring excess drains completely. Its thin leaves are less drought-tolerant than other succulents—avoid prolonged dryness. Reduce watering in winter during cooler temperatures.

Temperature & Seasonal Response: Ideal Range: 60–75°F (15–24°C). Below 50°F (10°C), leaf margins may deepen to ruby-red. Protect from frost. Above 85°F (30°C), provide shade and airflow to prevent stress.

Soil & Potting: A shallow, wide pot with drainage complements its spreading habit. Use airy soil (e.g., 60% cactus mix + 40% perlite/pumice). Terracotta pots help regulate moisture.

Fertilizing: Feed monthly in spring/summer with half-strength balanced fertilizer (e.g., 5-5-5). Withhold fertilizer in autumn/winter to respect its rest period.
Pest: Watch for mealybugs in leaf crevices. A dab of 70% isopropyl alcohol or neem oil treats minor infestations. Avoid over humidity to deter fungal issues.

Propagation: Stem cuttings root most reliably. Snip a 2–3" stem, let it callous for 1–2 days, then plant in dry gritty mix. Note: Variegation may not fully transfer to propagations.

Hold my umbrella & watch this!
Size: 100LBS, Size: 100LBS
This product does a fantastic job of keeping our umbrella perfectly vertical. We previously had an all metal one which cost over $100 and fell over all of the time. I love the fact that it can be filled with sand and water to ensure it does flip over! We opted to just use water and it is performing flawlessly! The wheels make it easy to move or they can be locked in place. The assembly was very straightforward and took about 20 minutes. I would buy another one if we need it for our second umbrella.

Great stand for portability, concerns about durability
Size: 155LBS
This is great and lightweight for easy maneuverability when not filled. It is extremely sturdy when filled and the locks on the wheels keep it in place. I use this with a Purple umbrella and it's great. My one complaint is that the umbrella has developed a bit of a lean after several months of use so I don't think this will hold up in the long run.

Great Service and company
Size: 100LBS
This umbrella stand we purchased does the job our previous heavy metal stands could not do. It stands up to high winds where we were forever standing our umbrella back up with our old stands. When I filled the stand base up with water and sand I accidently locked one of the wheels and pushed it from my truck to our pool patio and ground one of the wheels down to its rim. I messaged Fruiteam asking if I could purchase a new wheel and they sent me a set of 4 no charge. Great product and great customer service!

Perfect! Easy, convenient, definitely recommend
Size: 100LBS, Size: 100LBS
I am so glad I found this base that I can just fill with water. After screwing on the wheels, I used my garden hose to fill it with water and put my 1.5 inch diameter umbrella in and tightened it. Easy peasy. I love that it rolls and I can move it wherever I want, and also lock two of the wheels if needed. Definitely would recommend this one!

Size: 100LBS
Happy with my purchase. Sturdy well built, love that it has wheels makes it easy to move around and wheels lock in place. I choose to fill it with sand and water as it gets really windy where we live this will prevent my umbrella flying to the neighbors house again 😅
