Lizard Tail Succulent Overview and Care Guide

The Lizard Tail succulent, scientifically known as Crassula perfoliata var. Falcata, is a distinctive and beautiful succulent known for its unique leaf shape and vibrant color. Often referred to as the "Propeller Plant" due to its unusual, fan-like arrangement of leaves, this plant is native to South Africa. The Lizard Tail succulent’s leaves resemble the tail of a lizard, tapering at the tip and forming a graceful, wheel-like shape that makes it stand out in any succulent collection or garden.

Key Characteristics and Care Tips for the Lizard Tail Succulent:

Foliage and Growth: The Lizard Tail succulent forms fan-shaped, blue-green leaves that radiate out from the center of the plant, resembling a lizard’s tail. As the plant matures, the leaves often develop shades of red and orange at their tips, particularly when exposed to direct sunlight. The plant can grow up to 12-18 inches (30-45 cm) in height and spread up to 12 inches (30 cm) wide. It produces small star-shaped flowers in clusters during the blooming season, typically in late winter to spring.

Light Requirements: Lizard Tail succulents thrive in full sunlight and need at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight each day to maintain their vibrant colors and compact growth. Indoor plants should be placed near a bright, south-facing window, while outdoor plants should be placed in a sunny spot to encourage healthy growth and coloration. Insufficient light can lead to leggy growth and reduced coloration.

Watering: As a drought-tolerant succulent, the Lizard Tail succulent prefers deep watering, but only when the soil has completely dried out. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it’s crucial to allow the soil to dry between waterings. During the winter months, reduce watering as the plant enters a dormant phase. Be sure that the pot has good drainage to prevent water from accumulating in the bottom.

Temperature and Humidity: The Lizard Tail succulent enjoys warm temperatures ranging from 60°F to 85°F (15°C to 29°C). It is not frost-tolerant and should be brought indoors or kept in a sheltered spot if temperatures drop below 40°F (4°C). This plant thrives in low-humidity conditions, which mimic its native arid environment, making it ideal for dry, desert-like climates.

Soil: A well-draining cactus or succulent soil mix is best for the Lizard Tail succulent. You can add sand or perlite to the potting mix to improve drainage. The plant’s roots are highly sensitive to moisture retention, so using a soil mix that dries quickly is essential for preventing root rot.

Fertilizer: During the growing season (spring and summer), feed the Lizard Tail succulent with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks. Avoid fertilizing during the winter months when the plant is not actively growing. Over-fertilization can lead to excessive growth and weak stems, so it’s important to follow the recommended guidelines.

Repotting: Repot the Lizard Tail succulent every 1-2 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and has good drainage holes. Refresh the soil with a well-draining mix to promote healthy growth. The best time to repot is during the spring or early summer, when the plant is actively growing.

Pests and Problems: The Lizard Tail succulent is generally resistant to pests but may occasionally attract aphids, mealybugs, or spider mites. Inspect the plant regularly for any signs of pest infestations and treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil if necessary. As with all succulents, overwatering can lead to root rot, so avoid letting the plant sit in waterlogged soil.

Propagation: The Lizard Tail succulent can be propagated from leaf or stem cuttings. To propagate, cut a healthy leaf or stem, let it dry for a few days to callous, and then plant it in well-draining soil. The cutting will eventually root and begin to grow into a new plant. Propagation can also be done by separating offsets if the plant produces new growth near the base.

With its unique leaf shape, striking color changes, and ease of care, the Lizard Tail succulent is an attractive addition to any succulent garden, container display, or indoor space.

Very beautiful book

Wonderful resource
Format: Hardcover
This spectacular pilgrim guide title Walking the Camino de Santiago, is an excellent production that provides helpful guidance on anything a pilgrim would need to know prior to making this well-known pilgrimage via some not-so-well-known routes and tips. This book stands out in excellence with its simplicity and yet thoroughness in providing chapters on the possible eight pilgrimage routes with history on each one. It provides tips and practical information on things to check out as part of the geographical and cultural landmarks, food, accommodations, etc. The illustrations and photographs in this book make it a stunning work of art and resource. Anyone considering doing this pilgrimage/ retreat would benefit from this book. If nothing else, this book can be gifted to someone considering doing the Camino, and it would make an excellent coffee table conversation starter.

Small hardcover: get the Kindle version instead
Format: Hardcover
This is a small format hardcover with 6.5 x 8.5 inch pages. As an armchair traveler I was hoping for more illustrations and I also found the small print, generally small photos and illustrations and the small captions on the illustrations quite frustrating. I would actually recommend the Kindle version instead since it is less expensive and allows you to better expand the illustrations to get a much better view. There’s a good description of eight of the more popular Caminos including the best known “French Way” which stretches almost 500 miles from the French border area to Santiago de Compostole in Western Spain. Learning about the history of the pilgrimage routes which stretches back more than 1000 years was interesting and the maps provide a good general sense of the different routes. The day by day accounts tend to be a bit boring without larger illustrations. This is a decent introduction for someone like me who only thought there was a single Camino de Santiago. Still I wish I had the Kindle version instead of the print version in this case.

Great Book for Choosing a Camino de Santiago Route with Distinctive Descriptions and Photos
Format: Hardcover
This DK travel guide is a little unusual in that it does not primarily focus on the things to see, places to eat, and places to stay, although brief suggestions are included. Instead, the book describes eight main routes of the Camino de Santiago in 2-to-3-day sections, plus some alternate routes and extensions, touching on the scenery and the history of the walk. Suggested cafes and albergues (pilgrim hostels) are relegated to small paragraphs that resemble captions. Arguably there are days when there won’t be much to see or do, just long meditative walks between farm fields or vinyards; also, the rigors of the walk may leave pilgrims too tired to explore much. As the guide says, “you’re not a vacationer, you’re a pilgrim.” Of course, there are helpful tips included, particularly in the back of the book where culture, etiquette, transportation, and training are discussed, but also some trail-specific advice throughout. For example, some routes like the Portuguese route allow for returning to the same hotel for several nights by utilizing trains to access different sections of the route. The distinctiveness of the various routes makes this a helpful book if you’re intrigued but not sure which of the routes would be right for you. You'll be left with a little more work to do to find contact information and seasonal operating hours for the listed places. The layout of the book features lots of pictures, as might be expected for a DK travel book, but the pages are not glossy and there are none of the cutaways and drawings which make DK books so recognizable. The book feels more like an engaging textbook than a typical travel guide. It seems to be an intentional decision not to carry paragraphs across pages, which gives the reader the opportunity to look at the pictures and captions before continuing. There are some artistic details like wavy-line swooshes that overlay the photos and unfortunately often make them look as though something is wrong with the print, but otherwise, the writing, design, and layout make the information very accessible.

Lovely book, tons of information and well organized
Format: Hardcover
This book has a cute retro feel to it, like something from the 70s or 80s that might have been lingering in the school library when I was a kid. Covers a number of different historical routes, broken down by starting point, with different lengths and duration. Each route is broken into managable chunks, with highlights on local foods and culture and sights to see along the way. Good information to help with planning- they do not recommend specific hotels/lodgings (such information could be quickly outdated) but do suggest which towns to stay in and whether or not you need to book there well in advance. They also call out some restaurants by name, well known for local specialties. In all, a very nice resource for anyone planning a pilgrimage and wanting to compare the different routes and learn more about the history.
