- Hi there, welcome to my channel where I share tips and tricks on how to grow beautiful succulents. In this video, I'm going to show you how to grow and care for crassula plants, which are a diverse genus of succulents that include the popular jade plant, string of buttons, and silver dollar plant. Crassula plants are easy to propagate and maintain, and they come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Let's get started!
Crassula plants are native to South Africa, where they thrive in sunny and dry conditions. They have thick, fleshy leaves or stems that store water and protect them from drought. They can be grown indoors or outdoors, as long as they have enough light and well-draining soil.
To grow crassula plants, you will need the following:
- A crassula cutting or leaf. You can get one from a friend, a nursery, or online. You can also use a stem or leaf from an existing crassula plant that you have.
- A clay or terracotta pot with drainage holes. This will help prevent overwatering and root rot.
- A well-draining potting mix for succulents. You can buy one or make your own by mixing sand, perlite, and compost.
- A sharp knife or scissors. You will use this to cut the crassula cutting or leaf.
- A spray bottle with water. You will use this to mist the crassula cutting or leaf.
Here are the steps to follow:
1. Cut a stem or leaf from a crassula plant with a sharp knife or scissors. Make sure the cut is clean and not jagged.
2. Let the cut end of the stem or leaf dry out for a few days until a callus forms. This will prevent the plant from absorbing too much water and rotting.
3. Fill the pot with the potting mix and make a small hole in the center.
4. Insert the stem or leaf into the hole and gently press the soil around it.
5. Mist the stem or leaf lightly with water and place the pot in a bright spot that receives indirect sunlight or partial shade.
6. Water the plant sparingly when the soil feels dry to the touch. Do not overwater or let the soil stay wet for too long.
7. Watch for new roots and leaves to emerge in a few weeks.
Crassula plants are easy to care for once they are established. Here are some tips to remember:
- Crassula plants need at least six hours of direct sunlight or bright indirect light per day. If they don't get enough light, they may become leggy, pale, or lose their color.
- Crassula plants prefer warm temperatures between 60 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit. They can tolerate some cold, but not frost or freezing temperatures. If you live in a cold climate, bring your crassula plants indoors during winter.
- Crassula plants do not need much fertilizer, but you can feed them once in the summer with a diluted cactus fertilizer if you want to boost their growth and flowering.
- Crassula plants can bloom in spring or summer, producing clusters of small, star-shaped flowers in various colors depending on the variety. To encourage blooming, reduce watering and expose the plant to cooler temperatures at night during winter.
- Crassula plants can be pruned to shape them or keep them compact. You can use the pruned stems or leaves to propagate more crassula plants.
