watch chain succulent plant Watch Chain SucculentThe Watch chain succulent, also known as 'Crassula lycopodioides', belongs to the family of Crassulaceae (succulent jade plants). The specific epithet "muscosa" is Latin for "mossy," which perfectly describes this plant's moss like look.

The Watch chain succulent, also known as 'Crassula lycopodioides', belongs to the family of Crassulaceae (succulent jade plants). The specific epithet "muscosa" is Latin for "mossy," which perfectly describes this plant's moss-like look. It grows in delicate, chain-like stems made up of tiny, tightly packed segments that resemble miniature pine branches or zipper-like strands.

Native to South Africa and Namibia, this Crassula muscosa is an absolute stunner, growing up to 16 inches tall with a spreading habit of branching stems tightly packed with narrow, light green leaves that completely hide the stems.

The stems of Crassula muscosa start upright, then gradually cascade as they fill out, creating a soft, trailing effect that adds movement and texture to any space.

Its tightly stacked, chain-like leaves give it a dense, almost mossy appearance that stands out without feeling bulky.

When it matures, it typically grows up to 12 inches tall, with stems that can spread and drape beautifully over time.

When it blooms in spring, it produces small, pale yellow to greenish flowers that grow along the stems, adding a subtle but charming detail.

As it grows, the Watch Chain works both as a vertical accent and a trailing feature. It adds height and structure when young, then naturally shifts into a gentle spiller, making it a great fit for hanging baskets, mixed succulent arrangements, or even rock gardens.

When and How to Water Your Watch Chain Succulent 

Like many succulents, when it comes to crassula muscosa watch chain care, they prefer the "soak and dry" technique. This involves giving your watch chain succulents a generous watering, followed by allowing them to completely dry out before watering again. 

Water your Watch Chain plant once every 7 to 10 days during the growing season with a thorough soak, then reduce watering to every 2 to 3 weeks during its slower, dormant period, keeping moisture light.

In the spring and summer, allow the soil to fully dry out before watering again. This soak and dry method helps prevent root rot and keeps the plant growing steadily.

In the fall and winter, it needs even less water. With cooler temperatures and reduced growth, light and infrequent watering is enough to keep it healthy.

Make sure that you are also using porous sandy soil, and make sure it is well-drained soil and is in a pot, then make sure there are drainage holes to avoid overwatering. In rainy seasons or cold weather, it's best to withhold watering your outdoor succulents. 

Light Requirements - Where to Place Your Watch Chain Plant

When growing indoors, it thrives in bright, indirect light for about 4 to 6 hours a day.

Place your plant near a window that gets steady sunlight, such as a south facing or west facing window.

This gives it enough brightness without exposing it to harsh direct sun that can dry out or scorch the delicate stems. 

When growing outdoors, it can handle more light and does well with around 6 to 8 hours of sunlight daily.

Gradually increase its exposure to morning and afternoon sun to prevent leaf burn from intense rays.

A spot with gentle morning sunlight and filtered shade later in the day works best, helping the plant maintain its dense, textured appearance without becoming leggy.

Avoid keeping it in low light for extended periods, as this can weaken its growth. During winter or in spaces with limited natural light, placing it outdoors occasionally can help keep it compact and healthy.

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The watch chain plant prefers a fast-draining soil that keeps moisture from lingering around the roots. You need to be extra cautious and need to use the right kind of soil with a pH of 5.6- 6.5. It is best to use a specialized succulent potting mix or well-draining soil that includes 5 natural substrates with organic mycorrhizae – perfect for promoting healthy roots and happy plants. 

When it comes to fertilizing, it is best to use a natural fertilizer with an equal mixture of 5-10-5 (NPK) once a year during spring. It is the best choice as they last longer and keep your soil alive by adding other beneficial compounds and microbes to the soil mix. Keep it light, as too much fertilizer can cause weak, overly soft growth.

In fall and winter, you can skip fertilizing as the plant naturally slows down during this time, and does not require additional nutrients.

Hardiness Zones & More 

In the United States, it is mostly grown as an indoor plant, but if you live in southern Florida or Hawaii, you can grow it outdoors in USDA zones 9-10. 

It prefers a temperature range between 65°F and 85°F and should be kept at 50°F, as colder conditions can cause the stems to become weak, mushy, or discolored.

It does well in average indoor humidity levels and does not require any extra moisture.

It prefers a slightly dry environment, so avoid placing it in overly humid areas or near constantly damp conditions. With the right balance of warmth, stable temperatures, and moderate humidity, this plant stays compact, healthy, and easy to manage whether grown indoors or outdoors.

How to Grow as a Houseplant 

Put your Watch Chain Plant indoors in bright, indirect light for 4 - 6 hours a day, where it can keep its compact, chain-like shape. It prefers warm temperatures between 18°F and 29°F and does well in normal indoor conditions without needing extra humidity.

Water only when the soil is completely dry, since it is sensitive to overwatering, and always use a well-draining succulent mix to keep the roots healthy. With the right balance of light, minimal watering, and good drainage, it stays neat, full, and easy to manage indoors. 

Wildlife - Watch Chain Flowers Attract the Following Friendly Pollinators 

The watch chain flowers attract a variety of friendly pollinators, including bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. These beautiful creatures play a crucial role in the pollination process, helping to ensure the continued growth and reproduction of these stunning flowers.

According to ASPCA, the Crassula muscosa lycopodioides is mildly toxic to both humans and pets if ingested in large amounts. However, it is safe to touch, which makes it a popular choice for indoor and outdoor decoration.

How to Propagate Your Watch Chain Succulent  

To propagate your Watch Chain Succulent, you can do it by stem cuttings. Start by choosing a healthy stem and trimming a few inches using clean scissors. Let the cutting sit in a dry place for a day or two so the cut end can callus, which helps prevent rot once planted.

After that, place the cutting on top of a well-draining succulent soil mix. Water it only when the soil feels dry. Keep the cutting in bright, indirect light while it develops roots. When you see new growth, it means the roots have started forming. Continue normal succulent care by spacing out watering and keeping it in a bright spot.

Best academy I've read this year
Format: Kindle
I need a few things when it comes to a first book of a PNR romance series 1-Good world building (which this totally did) 2-An FMC I can root for (oh hell yes, Pandora is someone I can cheer for) 3-Good drama (can you say GROVEL BOYS!) 4-Enough story to make you feel like you really read something with meat (you saw this book is like 600 pages, yeah?) 5-A hook at the end so I want more! (please, Lyra, gimmie more?!? I need more!!) Be aware this book is a slow burn, but damn do I feel like there'll be some big payoff when it finally happens. Who doesn't like the buildup?

Pandora’s Pain, Power, and Passion
Format: Kindle
I absolutely love this new world Lyra Winters has created! The spin on a Demon Academy setting was fresh, unique, and completely addictive. Pandora is a character who immediately captured my heart. Thought to be powerless and enduring years of brutal abuse from her mother, it’s no surprise that her powers emerge at the exact moment she needs them most. After her mother’s death, Pandora discovers her father is none other than Death himself, a soul eater with a dark legacy. Her journey at the academy is anything but easy, filled with challenges tied to her father’s infamous reputation, her barely controlled abilities, and the cruelty of those around her. Pandora is easy to root for, you feel every ounce of her pain, resilience, and growth. Along the way she meets Reed, a half-human dream demon who’s kind, steady, and the kind of friend everyone wishes they had. There’s also Hunter, a vengeance demon and counselor connected to her father, who adds another intriguing layer to her story. Then there are the bullies: Dexter, a brooding shadow demon; Bram, a chaos demon with a drinking problem and deep hatred for demon nobility; and Skel, a fear demon wrestling with his own darkness. They might hurt her, but they also can’t seem to stay away when she’s in danger, making for some deliciously complicated dynamics. This book hits so many of my favorite tropes: friends to lovers, enemies to lovers, and of course, the irresistible “who hurt you?” storyline. I devoured it, and I’m already diving straight into book two!

So good!
Format: Kindle
Oh my goodness! What did I just read? Lyra Winters you have some serious explaining to do! That cliffhanger killed me! I am so happy to be back in the world of Kalista. This is definitely darker than Fates Hollow but oh so good. This is a fated mates reverse harem which I absolutely love. Pandora had a very hard and rough upbringing. She lives in pain constantly and it makes it hard on her. She struggles with everything because she was kept so isolated and is new to her magic. Pandora gets sent to the Reform Academy and all of them have reasons why they are there. I love how, after everything she has been through, she is still a nice person. She is growing and becoming stronger too. Love her character. The guys all act like jerks at first but all have a back story that helps understand why even though want to smack them. I'm here for the groveling that I'm sure will come. I love them all. They each bring something for her. They are all drawn to her though. This is a slow burn book but there will be more books in the series so sure it will build. Man, that cliffhanger was a doozy and need book 2 now!

Good-ish
Format: Kindle
🌶️ 0/5 ⭐️ 3/5 I will preface this by saying I am not a huge RH fan. However it didn’t feel like a RH quite yet. The relationships and plot are all building in this book. At first I was thinking things were happening stupid fast since she’s had zero interaction with another being and has been tortured her whole life, and I believe they were for one side of the relationship, but by 50% things moved too slow lol. Idk I think the main 1-3 guys I’m actually interested in more than the others didn’t get enough air time so I hope the next book things start moving with them since it ended the way it did.

Can I have Term 2 now?
Format: Kindle
This is by far my favorite book of Lyra's to date. I gobbled this book up so fast, I was so upset I finished it. I know this is going to be a book I reread, just like Fate Hollow Academy. I loved Fate Hollow Academy, so I was excited when Lyra announced she was taking us readers back to Kalista. Although the characters from Fate Hollow are mentioned several times throughout the book, this book is about Pandora and her love interests in the Demon Realm. Before you deep dive into this book, definitely look at the trigger warnings before you start. When Lyra says there's dark themes in this book, she meant it. Also, just know this book does end on a cliffhanger and will probably leave you with as many questions as it did me. Below may contain some minor spoilers, so keep that in mind if you want to keep reading my review. Pandora's first 2 decades of her life are full of torture, hatred, and confinement in a cellar. That is until her father finds her and brings her into the world she was supposed to live in. Because of her upbringing she wasn't acclimated to the Demon world and the way their society works so when she is offered the chance to go to a Demon Reform Accademy, she accepts it to learn the ways of society and how she is supposed to feed. Pandora isn't like the other common demons in this world, no. She, like her father Death, are soul-eaters. Pandora is too scared to release her powers because she doesn't want to kill anyone, so she needs to learn how to feed off of a piece of soul instead of taking the whole thing. Because of who her father is, she's classed as a Noble, and while she doesn't agree with her fellow Noble students, who look down on the "lower" class, she also is faced with 3 Demons who hate her for being a Noble. Theses a lot of back and forth tension which these 3 demons who have issues of their own. One is obsessed with her, and wants to know all of her secrets. One leaks fear all over the place, but also is scared of the "princess" -wink- -wink-. One is a complete drunk who doesn't like her just because he's got family Noble problems. Don't worry, there are 2 other demons who are just the sweetest towards her. One who will get vengeance for anything done to her, he's got Golden Retriever energy around her and touch her and die energy for anyone around her. Finally, there is one who is friends with her even when the whole school is scared of her, who brings her into his dreams and will create nightmares for those who bother her.
