Succulent - shrubby, branchy

Post by PascaleManning »

I bought this recently, and it came with no identifier. It's branchy and each growth is made up of little, triangular-shaped leaves. It roots easily and likes consistent water. The photo attached is poor, but should give an idea (it's the plant in the foreground). I've just had to remove a whole section of the plant because of a parasite (possibly mealy worm - presenting as sticky, fluffy, white spots).

It looks very like Crassula muscosa. Though the name might be different now.

Mealy bugs can be difficult to get rid of, keep an eye on this and any other plants nearby.
