Crassula rupestris Rosary Vine
-
![]()
Crassula rupestris, commonly known as the Rosary Vine or Kebab Bush, is a slow-growing, multi-branched succulent. It is famous for its "stacked" appearance; the thick, triangular leaves grow in opposite pairs and are fused at the base, making it look as though the stem has been threaded through the leaves like beads on a rosary or pieces of meat on a kebab.![]()
Native to the dry, rocky hillsides of South Africa, this plant is built for survival. Its name rupestris literally means "living among rocks," which explains its rugged nature and preference for gritty, well-draining environments.![]()
The Rosary Vine is a master of color and geometry. In high light, the edges of the blue-grey leaves "stress" into a vivid fuchsia or red. Its unique vertical growth habit makes it look like a miniature coral reef, providing a distinct structural element that most "rosette-style" succulents lack.
