If you are looking for a unique and low-maintenance succulent plant to add to your collection? Then, look no further than the Propeller plant - known as Crassula falcata (or Crassula Perfoliata var. falcata)! Thisunbranched succulent belongs to theCrassulaceaefamily and has its origin in South Africa. 

This Crassula falcata gets its common name, "propeller plant," from the distinct shape of its leaves, which resemble the blades of a propeller. It is also known as the airplane plant, distinguished by its propeller-shaped leaves, which give it a realistic appearance of taking off. These grey-green leaves with reddish edges are thick, triangular, and curved, which can become more pronounced as the plant grows in plenty of sunlight. It grows as a compact shrub, often reaching a height of 12 inches. 

The flowering of the propeller plant begins from late spring to early summer. Once fully bloomed, the star-shaped bright orange-red flowers easily last up to a month. The propeller crassula is easy to bloom but needs cooler conditions to encourage flowering in the summer months. Propeller succulents have a medium growth rate.  

To propagate Crassula falcata from stem or leaf cuttings during the spring or late summer of the season; is the best approach to grow healthy propeller Crassula from the mother plant. Additionally, offsets Crassula falcata will self-propagate, growing offsets. This summer dormant plant can be easily propagated and is one of the few succulents that grows well indoors. 

The propeller plant (Crassula falcata) is considered friendly to both humans and pets. So, you don't have to worry about any major toxicity issues with this propeller succulent.

Watering Needs 

When it comes to watering the Crassula falcata propeller plant, it's important to strike the right balance. This succulent doesn't like to be overwatered, as it can lead to root rot and other issues.  

The propeller plant prefers a "soak and dry" watering method. This means that you should thoroughly water your propeller plant, allowing the water to flow out of the drainage holes, and then wait for the soil to dry out completely before watering again. It's crucial to avoid letting the succulent sit in standing water, as this can cause root rot. During the hottest months of the year (summer), your plant may enter a dormant growth phase, which means its water requirements will be lower than usual.   

Remember, it's always better to underwater than to overwater this succulent. If you're unsure whether it needs watering, it's best to err on the side of caution and wait for the soil to dry out before giving it a drink. Observing the plant and checking the moisture level of the soil will help you determine the watering needs more accurately. 

Light Requirements 

For the best growth, this propeller plant should be exposed to full sun to partial sun. If growing indoors, it prefers a spot where it can get a good amount of bright, indirect sunlight, but not direct sunlight for prolonged periods. Placing it near a window with a sheer curtain or in a well-lit room would be ideal. 

If you notice that the leaves of your propeller plant are stretching or leaning toward the light source, it's a sign that it needs more bright sunlight. On the other hand, if the leaves start turning yellow or brown, they may be getting too much direct sunlight. 

Remember, finding the right balance is key. You want to provide enough light for your propeller plant to grow and thrive, but also protect it from intense, direct sunlight that can scorch its leaves. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

Crassula falcatagrows healthily in well-drained soil. Use a well-drained specialty soil mix, as this type of potting soil mix has been precisely developed to imitate well-draining desert soils. Commercial succulent soil is affordable and accessible online. Here at Planet Desert, we have a specialty-formulated succulent potting mix that contains 5 natural substrates and organic mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your propeller plant to thrive. 

As for fertilizer, the propeller plant doesn't require heavy feeding. You can use a balanced, water-soluble NPK fertilizer formulated. During the growing season (spring), fertilize your plant once a year. It's important not to over-fertilize your propeller plant, as this can cause excessive growth and weaken the plant. Always err on the side of caution and use a little less fertilizer than recommended, especially if your plant is in a small pot. 

Hardiness Zones & More 

The Crassula falcata propeller plant is native to South Africa; it is not cold hardy in general, but it can be grown outside in USDA hardiness zones 9-11. It prefers warm temperatures and can tolerate a range of temperatures between 50°F and 85°F. However, it is important to protect it from frost and freezing temperatures, as they can damage or kill the plant. 

In terms of humidity, the propeller plant is adaptable and can tolerate a range of humidity levels. It can thrive in average indoor humidity, but it also does well in drier conditions. However, it's important to note that excessively dry air can cause the leaves to shrivel, so it's a good idea to provide some moisture through occasional misting or placing a tray of water near the plant to increase humidity. 

Remember, providing the right temperature and humidity conditions can help your propeller plant thrive and stay healthy. 

Give this succulent a try if you're looking for an easy Crassula falcata propeller plant to care for!

retractable cable is a game changer for desk cable management
Color: Black
The retractable cable on this power strip is the feature I didn't know I needed. Being able to extend exactly as much cord as you need and have the rest neatly contained means zero cable clutter on the desk. The 2.3ft cord is enough for most desk setups and the coil retracts cleanly every time. 100W total output is adequate for a multi-device setup — I run a MacBook Pro (via the 65W USB-C port), an iPad, a phone, and a small lamp off it simultaneously without issues. Three AC outlets cover anything that doesn't charge via USB. The form factor is compact enough that it sits on the desk surface without being in the way. Build quality feels premium, not flimsy. The InstaCord retraction mechanism is smooth and doesn't feel like it'll snap after a few months. One thing to note: this doesn't have a battery, it's just a power strip with a retractable cord. If you need a battery backup, look elsewhere. As a pure power strip with great cable management, it's excellent.

Awesome desktop accessory!

Perfect desktop accessory for maximum functionality. 3 outlets on the back and 2 USB C cables that come out the sides. Holding to the side via a magnet. Charges my devices very quickly. Absolute workhorse for its weight and portability.

Color: Black, Color: Black
The ultimate desk decluttering tool! I am extremely happy with this 7-in-1 station. The best part is the built-in retractable cables; I no longer have to manage a mess of cords on my desk. It has a very small footprint but packs enough punch to power my laptop and several other devices at once. It’s a high-quality, compact solution that solved all my cable management issues. Five stars!

Good Charging Station!
Color: Black
I’ve been using the Anker Nano 7-in-1 charging station for a few weeks now and overall I’m happy with it. I wanted something that could replace multiple chargers on my desk, and this does exactly that. Being able to plug in a laptop, phone, and a few other devices at the same time without swapping cords has been really convenient. The USB-C ports provide fast charging, including enough power for a laptop, which was important to me. Everything charges reliably and the unit doesn’t get excessively warm during normal use. The build quality feels solid, which is what I’ve come to expect from Anker products. It also doesn’t take up much space, so it works well on a desk or nightstand. One thing to be aware of is that when multiple devices are plugged in, charging speeds can vary depending on what’s connected. It hasn’t been a problem for me, but it’s worth noting. Also, it’s a bit heavier than a basic power strip, so it’s better suited for stationary use rather than travel. Overall, this is a well-made charging station that helps keep things organized and cuts down on cable clutter. If you have several devices to charge and want a cleaner setup, this is a good option. Pros: Charges multiple devices at once Fast USB-C charging, including laptops Solid build quality Helps reduce cable clutter Cons: Charging speed varies with multiple devices Slightly bulky for travel TL;DR: A reliable and convenient charging station that does what it’s supposed to do.

Good quality and works perfectly but could use more features.
Color: Black
Overall, it's great, I love the ability to clean up my desk and charge all of my stuff, it really makes it SO much cleaner. However, I feel like it could use more features. The fake screen is 4.5" on 2", however, the actual embedded screen is under 1"/1". Also, the USB-C numbering system seems to be off, but I recognize this is all super picky. I really wish they had used the face area to put a clock or a larger screen. The charge speed is great, but I haven't tried charging my laptop or anything heavy off of it. Overall, if you don't care about the minor gripes ,then it's perfect.
