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 Toaster Oven Ever!
Color: Stainless Steel
I've had the oven about a week now and have used it numerous times. The air fried wings came out perfect. The oven baked chicken was perfectly cooked thanks to the probe and crisped up nicely. Toast is fast and just the right color each time. I give the oven high marks for the value and features. The oven's performance exceeds my expectations. The only reason I did not give this gem 5 stars is due to the oven door handle. When open, the door handle hits the counter top preventing it from opening fully. When the oven is hot, pulling something out is an issue due to the door not opening fully. Otherwise, I highly recommend this oven.

Great Product and Great Customer Service
Color: Stainless Steel
This little countertop oven checks all of the boxes for me. First, even at its highest tempeture for baking bread at 450 the outside of the unit is warm to the touch but will not burn your hand. It has all of the settings one would want for an oven to do icluding, reheat, PROOF (for bread) broil, stay warm etc. I love it and the best of all of this was my experience with their customer service. I started having an electrical glich with the unit soon after I bought it and reported the problem to the company. Well, then it stopped having that problem but intermittently did. The light would come on by itself and sometimes I could not get the oven to turn on. So, this ensued off and on for several months until I decided to once again contact customer service to report my problem. They took my information and then informed me that they would be happy to replace the unit. All I needed to do was send my unit back after receiving the replacement. Which they did and I did and VOILA, problem solved just like that. No rigamarole, no hassle just excellent customer service.

Fantasticallly engineered oven, cooks quickly and evenly, may need to adjust recipes
Color: Stainless Steel
4.5/5 This Typhur Sync Oven is a thoughtfully engineered toaster oven air fryer that has some of the best air fryer capabilities you can get out of a toaster oven air fryer, on par with and potentially more even cooking than the often superior basket air fryers. This is largely thanks to its fan placement and size, which is very similar to basket air fryers: large (roughly 6-7") and positioned over the top. This large fan moves a lot of heat quickly and evenly, leading to really even cooking and much shorter bake time. This oven looks and feels well built, with the walls being relatively well insulated stainless steel sheets (not a ton of heat emitted from it), heavy duty hinges, and primarily stainless steel accessories (and an enamel coated roasting rack). There are multiple fan settings depending on the preset chosen, though the fan unfortunately can not turn off except for the proofing feature which has a low max temperature. The temperature probe that comes with it is really easy to use and store. Racks can still be stored on top of the toaster oven without much issue even though the probe is also stored on top. If you're not careful you might tap the probe or knock it off, but unlikely. Cooking is very even and quick. The Typhur cooks quicker than my previous toaster oven, and much more evenly. You may not need to move food around when air frying it, which is really impressive. Cooking is so quick that things may burn if you cook them at normal times. You may need to reduce cooking time by more than 25-30%, or lower temperature so things can cook more evenly inside and out, given fast convection cooking more noticeably cooks the outside more than the inside. Couple cons: - The only real issue I've noticed is rarely when heating up something in the top of the fan will vibrate slightly, which is mildly annoying and can shake the pans on top of it. Tapping the top of the oven will usually stop the vibration, which makes me think there may be a bit of play near the fan/heater. This issue rarely occurs. - The cookies setting runs the fan on low speed, but it's still moving enough air to keep heating even. The problem is that because the oven is so much faster at cooking - even true on the low fan speed cookies preset - that larger cookies may be undercooked on the inside and/or darker brown than preferable on the outside. If I want my batch of large cookies to be cooked perfectly, I still use the conventional oven. This convection oven works quite well for smaller cookies though, and well enough for larger cookies if you figure out the right temp. The toaster oven recommends 330F for cookies, often 325F is recommended (25F lower than normal 350F), but I've found that even 320F is too high of a cooking temp for larger cookies, as they can be fully cooked on the outside but raw on the inside, like was the case with my 100gram (~1/3rd cup) chocolate chip cookies cooked at 320F. My 80g sugar cookies cooked at 300F seemed more similar to conventional, but were still more browned on the exterior than desirable.

Best Christmas Present this year!
Color: Piano Black
If you love that soft, crunchy “nugget” or “sonic” ice, this ice nugget maker is an absolute game-changer. It produces perfect, chewable ice with a satisfying texture that elevates everything from water and soda to cocktails and iced coffee. The machine heats up quickly, churns out ice fast, and keeps a steady supply going without a lot of babysitting. Setup is simple, and the compact design fits nicely on a countertop without feeling bulky. What really stands out is the consistency and quality of the ice—it’s light, airy, and never rock-hard. The machine is also surprisingly quiet compared to traditional ice makers, and cleaning is straightforward, which makes it easy to use daily. While it’s an investment compared to basic ice trays, the convenience and restaurant-quality ice make it 100% worth it. If you’re an ice lover or entertain often, this is one of those appliances you’ll wonder how you lived without. Just as good quality as the expensive machines.

Excellent Ice Maker
Color: Piano Black, Color: Piano Black
This 100% beats the heck out of the Frigidaire Gallery countertop nugget ice maker I had. The ice making is faster, the nugget quality is better, cleaning is easier AND it is waaaaay quieter than the other one. Let's start with the speed of the ice making. Within 15 minutes I have ice. Enough for at least a cup. The nugget: soft, easily crunchable, perfect sized just like that Sonic ice! Noise is basically non-existent compared to my previous machine. I don't even know this one is running most of the time unless I look over and see the display. Cleaning: It comes with packets for cleaning. Pour one in, set it to clean and in about 7 minutes it is done. I run mine with the same packet twice then drain via the easy to access drain plug in the bottom of the water well. Then I rinse twice and start it making ice again. I have an alarm set.for a reminder to clean it monthly, but I dont really need it because I can tell by the way the water looks in the well that it needs cleaning. Also, I always make sure to wipe down the sides of the well and wash the ice basket once monthly. I wish I hadn't wasted my money on the Frigidaire. Their warranty is a joke because it is no longer made by actual Frigidaire. I just tossed in in the trash. I didnt even get 3 months out of it before it started screaming and dying.
