If you are looking for a unique and low-maintenance succulent plant to add to your collection? Then, look no further than the Propeller plant - known as Crassula falcata (or Crassula Perfoliata var. falcata)! Thisunbranched succulent belongs to theCrassulaceaefamily and has its origin in South Africa. 

This Crassula falcata gets its common name, "propeller plant," from the distinct shape of its leaves, which resemble the blades of a propeller. It is also known as the airplane plant, distinguished by its propeller-shaped leaves, which give it a realistic appearance of taking off. These grey-green leaves with reddish edges are thick, triangular, and curved, which can become more pronounced as the plant grows in plenty of sunlight. It grows as a compact shrub, often reaching a height of 12 inches. 

The flowering of the propeller plant begins from late spring to early summer. Once fully bloomed, the star-shaped bright orange-red flowers easily last up to a month. The propeller crassula is easy to bloom but needs cooler conditions to encourage flowering in the summer months. Propeller succulents have a medium growth rate.  

To propagate Crassula falcata from stem or leaf cuttings during the spring or late summer of the season; is the best approach to grow healthy propeller Crassula from the mother plant. Additionally, offsets Crassula falcata will self-propagate, growing offsets. This summer dormant plant can be easily propagated and is one of the few succulents that grows well indoors. 

The propeller plant (Crassula falcata) is considered friendly to both humans and pets. So, you don't have to worry about any major toxicity issues with this propeller succulent.

Watering Needs 

When it comes to watering the Crassula falcata propeller plant, it's important to strike the right balance. This succulent doesn't like to be overwatered, as it can lead to root rot and other issues.  

The propeller plant prefers a "soak and dry" watering method. This means that you should thoroughly water your propeller plant, allowing the water to flow out of the drainage holes, and then wait for the soil to dry out completely before watering again. It's crucial to avoid letting the succulent sit in standing water, as this can cause root rot. During the hottest months of the year (summer), your plant may enter a dormant growth phase, which means its water requirements will be lower than usual.   

Remember, it's always better to underwater than to overwater this succulent. If you're unsure whether it needs watering, it's best to err on the side of caution and wait for the soil to dry out before giving it a drink. Observing the plant and checking the moisture level of the soil will help you determine the watering needs more accurately. 

Light Requirements 

For the best growth, this propeller plant should be exposed to full sun to partial sun. If growing indoors, it prefers a spot where it can get a good amount of bright, indirect sunlight, but not direct sunlight for prolonged periods. Placing it near a window with a sheer curtain or in a well-lit room would be ideal. 

If you notice that the leaves of your propeller plant are stretching or leaning toward the light source, it's a sign that it needs more bright sunlight. On the other hand, if the leaves start turning yellow or brown, they may be getting too much direct sunlight. 

Remember, finding the right balance is key. You want to provide enough light for your propeller plant to grow and thrive, but also protect it from intense, direct sunlight that can scorch its leaves. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

Crassula falcatagrows healthily in well-drained soil. Use a well-drained specialty soil mix, as this type of potting soil mix has been precisely developed to imitate well-draining desert soils. Commercial succulent soil is affordable and accessible online. Here at Planet Desert, we have a specialty-formulated succulent potting mix that contains 5 natural substrates and organic mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your propeller plant to thrive. 

As for fertilizer, the propeller plant doesn't require heavy feeding. You can use a balanced, water-soluble NPK fertilizer formulated. During the growing season (spring), fertilize your plant once a year. It's important not to over-fertilize your propeller plant, as this can cause excessive growth and weaken the plant. Always err on the side of caution and use a little less fertilizer than recommended, especially if your plant is in a small pot. 

Hardiness Zones & More 

The Crassula falcata propeller plant is native to South Africa; it is not cold hardy in general, but it can be grown outside in USDA hardiness zones 9-11. It prefers warm temperatures and can tolerate a range of temperatures between 50°F and 85°F. However, it is important to protect it from frost and freezing temperatures, as they can damage or kill the plant. 

In terms of humidity, the propeller plant is adaptable and can tolerate a range of humidity levels. It can thrive in average indoor humidity, but it also does well in drier conditions. However, it's important to note that excessively dry air can cause the leaves to shrivel, so it's a good idea to provide some moisture through occasional misting or placing a tray of water near the plant to increase humidity. 

Remember, providing the right temperature and humidity conditions can help your propeller plant thrive and stay healthy. 

Give this succulent a try if you're looking for an easy Crassula falcata propeller plant to care for!

Smells wonderful, but lacking a full ingredients list.
I have sensitivities in my household, and I've come to prefer products that have a full and transparent ingredients list. This soap does not offer one, only just the key ingredients featured on the outer packaging. Since I myself and some family members have to avoid certain ingredients in foods, drinks, and body products, transparency of ingredients means a lot to me. This soap has a delightful, soft, earthy scent that's clean and gentle, and not overwhelming. Don't let the patchouli throw you off- it doesn't smell like petrichor (wet dirt), it smells more of vanilla with powdery, earthy notes. It reminds me of the bags of vanilla flavored tobacco that my grandfather used to have around, and the scent is light, but long lasting on the skin. The soap bars are very soft, and oily to the touch when dry. I don't even need wet skin to get a lathering layer of this soap- I can rub it dry on my hands to get enough. I feel that if this bar were to exposed to water more frequently, it would quickly melt. The soap cleaves my skin feeling very fresh and clean, and isn't drying. I still prefer to use moisturizers, but my skin is dry in general. This soap does seem to help calm irritated skin and has not caused any irritation itself. I really like this soap, but I prefer to have full transparency of ingredients in my body products.

Best itchy soap.
This is has done more for my itching than about anything else. I was skeptical at first because "what works on both eczema and psoriasis?" But this is very effective. The instructions say "let dry out on skin for intensive treatment". I would NEVER let any ordinary soap do that. But this treatment truly works. It is excellent quality smells nice but scent is subtle and hypoallergenic. It is very emollient. Fair warning: you need to let it sit on your skin for a bit before you rinse it off. It kinda has to soak in before it rinses clean. And that's the other thing: you feel clean after using it instead of having gunky residue. If you have humid summer skin rash it even helps with that itch. It's very protective of your skin. If you want it to fit in a portable soap dish it fits a standard container if you cut it in half. It even does that well!

Amazing soap
This is the best soap I’ve ever used to help with my psoriasis and my son’s eczema. It completely helps calm down flare ups and clears it completely leaving our skin soft.
