Caring for the Succulent Plants富士 and 凤凰
This article brings you knowledge about the succulent plant富士, focusing on the care methods for both富士 and 凤凰. Let's get to know them together.
Although富士 and 凤凰 are two different plants, their care methods are quite similar. They are both winter-type plants that prefer cool, well-ventilated environments with soft, long-daylight exposure. They require a breathable, loose, and well-draining peat soil (preferably the one with coarse fibers).
The optimal growth temperature for both富士 and 凤凰 is between 15°C and 25°C. In summer, they are highly sensitive to stuffy and humid environments, and they dislike moisture and heat. They enjoy partial shade and can tolerate low temperatures to some extent in winter, being able to survive safely above 5°C.
Phoenix and富士 are must-have varieties for many succulent enthusiasts, but they are also considered one of the most challenging plants to care for in the Crassula family. For many enthusiasts, rough management can be applied in spring, autumn, and winter, with a more relaxed approach in both spring and autumn. It is recommended to expose them to more sunlight, preferably with a layer of film, to produce plants with紧凑 and round leaves, full of beauty.
In summer, due to high temperatures, poor ventilation, and humidity, they are prone to early death. Special attention should be paid to the following precautions:
1. Provide appropriate shade. In summer, with high temperatures and strong UV rays, appropriate shading is necessary, but avoid complete shade—diffused light is sufficient.
2. Air circulation must be ensured.
3. Watering should be controlled. Excess water can cause rot, but it should not be completely stopped. If water is cut off in summer due to rapid evaporation, the plant may die from dehydration. It is recommended to supplement water by immersion in the morning or after the sun sets, keeping the pot bottom slightly moist. Water once or twice a month, and it's not necessary to water thoroughly.
4. Granular planting materials (such as red jade, fairy soil, planting stone, granular peat, and volcanic rock mix) can be used, as this makes it easier to control the water level and provides large gaps and good ventilation, which is beneficial for root growth.
Propagation:富士 and 凤凰 can only be propagated through cutting and side buds. Regarding the issue of the plant dying after flowering, you can simply cut off the flower stem before it flowers.
