The leaf scales of Qing Suo Long are generally triangular, arranged in a 4-angled shape on the stems and branches, very dense, making people mistakenly think there are only green 4-angled stems without leaves, and the leaves become scattered when there is insufficient light.
The flowers of Qing Suo Long grow in the axils of the leaves, small, yellowish-white. This is a common succulent plant that is easy to cultivate and propagate. However, the commercially available Qing Suo Long varieties are not pure, among which there is a variant called Ruo Lu, which is also called Qing Suo Long in many places. The branches of Ruo Lu, in addition to growing vertically upward, also have horizontal creeping ones, with leaves arranged in a scattered manner, sometimes in a 4-angled shape and sometimes not.
According to many foreign experts, the scientific name of Qing Suo Long has been changed to C.muscosa. However, it is not completely unified, and here we temporarily continue to use the old scientific name.

Qing Suo Long is mainly propagated by cutting, which can be done throughout the year, with higher survival rates in spring and autumn. Select branches with neat, closely arranged scale-like leaves, cut into 12-15 cm long segments, and insert them into a sand pot. Roots will grow in about 20-25 days, and when the roots are 2-3 cm long, they can be transplanted into a pot.
Cultivation
For potting Qing Suo Long, choose a sandy loam soil that is well-draining, loose, and relatively fertile. Water 2-3 times a week during the growing season. Water 1-2 times a week during the plum rain season and high temperature season. Fertilize once every 2 months. When the plant grows too tall, it needs to be pinched to lower it, and overly dense or倾斜 branches should be pruned. When placed outdoors, avoid heavy rain to prevent root damage and yellowing or rotting of the branches. The plant needs to be re-cut every 2-3 years.
Watering Qing Suo Long in a pot does not require too much water, keeping the soil slightly moist is fine. When watering, try to pour it on the soil, as moisture on the leaves can affect the appearance. Do not pour water into the flower core, as it will rot. Apply a thin liquid fertilizer or compound fertilizer once a month. Keep the plant in a sunny indoor location in winter, above 10℃ to continue watering and fertilizing, allowing the plant to grow normally. If water is restricted and the soil is kept moderately dry, the plant can also tolerate low temperatures of 3-5℃. Re-pot every 2-3 years, which can be done in spring or autumn. The potting soil should be loose and fertile with good drainage. A mixture of 1 part decayed leaf soil, 1 part garden soil, and 2 parts coarse sand or frog stone can be used, and a small amount of bone meal and wood ash can be added as a base fertilizer.
Qing Suo Long is mainly affected by brown spot and leaf spot diseases, which can be treated by spraying Bordeaux mixture (1:1:100) once a month.
Qing Suo Long is susceptible to red spider and scale insect pests, which can be controlled by spraying 50% fenvalerate emulsion 1000 times.
