Sinocrassula Yunnanensis (Black 'Hedgehog' Succulents) at home.

            Winter in São Paulo at the moment
23°C / 73°F

Nowadays it is still little known, but now it is being very commercialized, at least at CEAGESP (Market in São Paulo) I found several seedlings, they call succulent hedgehog.

This succulent caught my attention for its beauty. With a more delicate appearance, it certainly appears to be fragile, but on the contrary. Its rosette is very dense and can reach 10cm in height. The leaves are fleshy, dark blue-green, covered with tiny hairs. When kept in full sun, it intensifies its color, appearing black and keeps the rosettes denser and more compact.

Why choose this succulent at the time of arrangement? Firstly, it reproduces on the sides, which after some time fills a basin with several dense rosettes, secondly its color is very beautiful which gives a contrast of texture and interesting color in the arrangement.

The buds start to appear in summer, bright red in color, but with small white flowers, remaining for a few weeks.

The name "Sinocrassula" means "Chinese crassula". They come from the Yunnan province in the south of China, and also from the north of Burma. They grow at an altitude between 2,500 and 2,700 m

Synocrassula Yunnanesis prefers colder than warmer places. Remember that full sun does not mean hot places. What is easier to be cultivated in southern Brazil, due to our more tropical climate.
