Crassula Perforata ‘String of Buttons’ can be grown both indoors and outdoors. Whether indoors or outdoors, providing the right potting mix (a well draining one) along with proper lighting will give them the best chance at survival. I keep all of mines outdoors, under varying degrees of sun exposure. They seem to be happiest outdoors, but then again I live in sunny California where winters are mild.

If kept indoors, provide as much light as possible. Typically speaking, they need approximately 4-6 hours of light per day to thrive. If your area does not receive adequate light indoors or if you have poor lighting, you may notice the plant stretching out or elongating. This process is called etiolation, where the plant does not receive adequate light for prolonged periods of time and begins to stretch out, literally seeking out more light. This process tends to produce weak stems and poor growth. When you start noticing your plant doing this, move it to a brighter location. Choose an east facing window. A south or west facing window will also work.

Crassula Perforata ‘String of Buttons’ do best in areas that receive plenty of sunlight. They can tolerate partial sun to full sun, but they prefer bright filtered sunlight. They need to be acclimated to full sun or the leaves will get scorched easily.
