Stonecrop succulents — Crassulaceae

Most stonecrop succulents are pet-safe. Of the 312 stonecrop succulents we cover, 174 are non-toxic on the ASPCA list and 138 carry a toxic or mildly-toxic rating. Even in a mostly-safe family, confirm the individual species before trusting it around pets.

Most stonecrop succulents want plenty of direct sun — 191 of the 312 in our library do best there. If yours stretches toward the window or loses its variegation it needs more light; scorched or bleached leaves mean it is getting too much.

Some stonecrop succulents suit experienced growers — several want strong light, sharp drainage or a specific seasonal rhythm. Check the individual species page for the exact regime before you buy.

The Crassulaceae family — the stonecrop succulents — groups 312 species across 21 genera in the Growli library, most prominently Echeveria, Sedum, Crassula. Members share a broadly similar light, water and soil pattern, which is why it pays to learn the family before the individual plant.
