Where it grows wild

Records come from the lowlands of the Overberg, Agulhas Plain and nearby hills in the Western Cape. Its specific microhabitat and habit are not documented in sources we could reach; open fynbos and renosterveld ground in sun is typical for small Crassula of the area.

No elevation on the records; measured sites range from near sea level to about 950 m.
