Mars bunnies have been popular for a few years now, and it seems a bit late to sort out how to raise Mars bunnies, but it is still useful knowledge for those who need it. Mars bunnies belong to the Sedum genus of the Crassulaceae family, scientific name Crassula ausensis ssp. titanopsis. Mars bunnies have a矮小 plant, easy to form clusters, with green, fleshy leaves, evenly distributed white protruding warts. They like sunlight and the leaf tips will turn red when exposed to more sun. They have huge, fleshy tuberous roots. The flowers are white, small, umbrella-like clusters, with thin and long flower stems, blooming from April.
Mars bunnies grow slowly, and spring and autumn are their growing seasons. What gardeners need to pay attention to is that Mars bunnies dislike humidity and should not be watered too much. During the growing period, they should be watered when completely dry. In summer, keep them in a shady and well-ventilated place, give a little water, and they do not have a distinct dormancy period. In winter, stop watering and can tolerate temperatures as low as minus 3 degrees Celsius.
Below are the daily maintenance points for Mars bunnies:
1. Mars bunnies like sunlight, and under sufficient light, the leaf edges show red. The leaf tips will turn red when exposed to more sun. In summer, when the temperature is too high and the plant enters dormancy, it should be moderately shaded to avoid direct sunlight. In winter, when the soil is dry, it can tolerate 0 degrees Celsius.
2. Mars bunnies are afraid of humidity and should not be watered too much. During the rainy season in summer, watering should be strictly controlled to prevent waterlogging in the potting soil, which can easily cause soil hypoxia and root rot. Keeping the potting soil dry in winter can prevent frostbite. The presence of Mars bunnies' fleshy tuberous roots also increases their drought resistance, making their survival ability stronger.
Mars bunnies can be propagated by seeds or division. Generally, propagation is carried out by sowing, with the optimal temperature for seed germination being 15℃-25℃. Additionally, due to the very small size of its seeds, only about 30% of the size of stonecrop flowers, when sowing, it should be done in a windless environment, with seeds not covered with soil, directly scattered on the sowing soil, and then sprayed with some cool boiled water to fix the seeds. Since the seeds are small, the particle size of the sowing substrate should also be chosen to be small. Adult Mars bunnies have many lateral branches, which can be used for lateral bud division during potting.
