Crassula sinclairii

A tiny New Zealand Crassula, formerly Tillaea sinclairii, belonging to the group of minute herbs of damp open ground. It ranges from sea level to 1800 m in a cool, wet temperate climate, so it wants cool, moist, bright conditions rather than typical succulent care.

Where it grows wild

Tillaea-type crassulas grow in damp turf, on the margins of tarns and ephemeral pools and on wet rock, often in open, short vegetation. Species-specific notes were not reachable, so this is inferred from its former genus.

Recorded from 1 to 1800 m, median about 520 m (61 records).
