Tree ice is a succulent plant from the Crassula family, a hybrid of the Graptopetalum and Sedum genera. It grows 15-20 cm tall and spreads 20-30 cm wide. The leaves are narrow and lanceolate to linear, hard and thick, with a wide and thick base and a thin and pointed tip. The leaf tip has a hard spine, and the leaf surface is covered with fine white villi, and the leaf edge has white, slender fibers.
Tree ice prefers a sunny, cool, and dry growing environment, with an optimal temperature of 18-25 degrees. It is drought-tolerant, and the soil should be slightly moist during the growing period, with a bit more watering and spraying in the summer and reduced watering in the winter. It requires full sun, with some shade during the midsummer. It is relatively fond of fertilizer, with fertilizing once a month during the growing period and stopping after autumn. It does not have high requirements for soil, but overall, it should be loose, well-ventilated, and have good drainage. The soil can be a mixture of peat (turf) + gravel + perlite.
