Crassula helmsii close up
I was actually given this plant by a marine biologist as an oxygenator
for my new pond. It can cause large fluctuations in oxygen levels so is not particularly good for this, but it's easy to grow so people have spread it all over the world. If anything disturbs the plant its fleshy stems and leaves break apart into tiny pieces which can travel in moving water, on the feet of birds and animals or in mud on your boots and tools. Wherever they touch down they grow to refill the pond you've just cleared or start a new infestation. If you have a pond full of this stuff check your government's advice before trying to get rid of it - it's very easy to make things worse.
