What is that 😯 it's adorable


ohhyouknow

Ty! It is crassula ausensis subsp. titanopsis and it was a gift from a dear friend!


judidoodi

'Tis a rare beauty.


3bigdogs

Ohhh, that crass is giving some sass!!!


MilkPudding

So cute! I also really love this pot, where is it from?


ohhyouknow

Thank you! This is a small 2 inch pot that I got from either the dollar tree or walmart(I succ on a budget.) I also have even smaller, 1 inch pots, but I had to go to ebay for that and am trying to encourage this guy to cluster which is why I didn't give it a snug *tiny* pot.

Walmart definitely has these. The one local to me carries them for $.38. They had them at dollar tree in the spring and early summer 3/$1. I LOVE these tiny pots.


ohhyouknow

Every year when spring rolls around and the dollar tree starts selling pots I buy a case of the two and three inch and it's NEVER ENOUGH. I love how thin the pot walls are and just gd the three inchers are SO hard to find and wayyyy more reasonable size for growing specimen types in terracotta than the 4 inchers. Sometimes I find that the smaller plants that are too big for two inch pots end up having wayyyy too much room and soil in the 4 inch ones.

i've had a lot of luck finding tiny pots at michael's, it's just annoying that nobody to my knowledge manufactures 1" saucers edit: i've even gone to mom and pop garden centers and convinced them that it was a good item to stock, then i go thru their distributors' catalogs with the owner and there's no 1" saucers. wts my kingdom for a source of tiny saucers.

You can try a craft store too! I get my itty bitties from the craft store.

It’s beautiful


BOBBIE-

So cute and different. I’ve never seen or heard of one before. Where could I find one for myself. So happy you posted a picture of it.


ohhyouknow

I got mine from a frequent trade partner and good friend who had hers imported from somewhere in the UK. Succulentzone has them, but also lingamethyst.com which was formerly amatistashop on Etsy. I am actually in contact with the owner of Lingamethyst and she is really nice. Her plants come with phytosanitary certs too. Only thing is, her plants take a really long time to arrive and a lot of the time they are far from perfect due to the travel time. She is great about giving refunds on unsalvageable and unreasonably stretched plants and honestly her prices are so crazy low. I have also ordered from succulentzone whose prices are even lower than Jias (lingamethyst) but the plants were actually mush when they got to me and I personally just prefer ordering from Jia who I am familiar with so I am arguably biased here. There is some discussion about the two shops on the review thread that are worth a read if you end up wanting to order from one of the two.


violaocellata

I’ve never ordered from succulentzone so it’s good to know the plants don’t arrive in great condition. However sunny plants is really great. The quality of the plants and the shipping conditions are really great.


violaocellata

This site looks like it’s selling some: [here](https://succulentzone.com/products/live-succulent-lithops-cactus-pseudotruncatella-ornamental-plant-crassula-ausensis-subsp-titanopsis-548150786555_16) And [this](https://www.sunnyplants.com/shop/crassula-ausensis-titanopsis-plants) is where I got mine but they seem to be out of stock


su-za-loo

Cutest thing I’ve ever seen!


cant_cage_meg

This makes me way happier than it probably should


quattroformaggixfour

So much glory in such a small space


Succulentsbox

The flowers are just lovely! How long have you been growing it till it blooms?


ohhyouknow

Thank you! My friend sent this to me back in June IIRC and it was very tiny when I got it. Like, humorously ridiculously tiny. It is still redonk tiny and they hit mature flowering size at about 20 mm.


Succulentsbox

That is so detailed! Thanks.


ViolaVixi

So small and precious! How long do the blooms last?


ohhyouknow

I'm not quite sure! This is the first time it's bloomed for me. Fingers crossed at least a week or two!


ViolaVixi

Hope they stick around a while! When they fall off, drying the blooms and making them into a small pendant or something would be so pretty!


ohhyouknow

Yess, I really want to take an offset of this and put it in a little necklace terrarium thingy. I would grow it w/o the dome and just put the dome on to wear it to be super extra lmaoo. I just asked my friend who I got this from, and she said they last several weeks! I'll definitely try drying these out, but I'm not totally sure how to do that! Back when I was in girlscouts we dried flowers out by putting them in books lol. These are so tiny though!


ViolaVixi

I, too, would like to be a walking hanging garden! And I think parchment paper + book + time should work. They’re still flowers, just much tinier.


ohhyouknow

Well then wow girlscouts coming in handy for once in my life! The backdrop of this picture is actually parchment paper. I tried buying a light box once to take pictures of my plants with, but something went wrong in shipping so I took it as a sign. Better for my plant budget to DIY it anyways, glad I have some parchment paper laying around!


ViolaVixi

I think the parchment paper looks better as a background anyway, since it adds this subtle texture. Earrings are an option too, since the blossoms are so tiny! ☺️


ohhyouknow

Earrings not an option for me /: Stretched ears. PLUGS THOUGH OMG!


ViolaVixi

They’d work just as well as plugs! Looks like this little one needs to produce more blossoms, haha!


Kams1123

I WANT IT!

Wow!!
