What are the types of succulents in the Crassula family
Today, I will introduce the types of succulents in the Crassula family and common Crassula recommendations for green plant introductions. I will provide a detailed introduction for you below.
In the large family of succulents, the Crassula family is considered quite a large one. Although these succulents may look different, their growth habits are actually quite similar. Therefore, it is relatively convenient to care for succulents from the same family. It is essential to understand a plant thoroughly to keep it healthy. Today, I will talk about the summer care methods for several Crassula succulents.
1. Bai Feng
Bai Feng prefers a warm growing environment and should not be watered excessively. In the summer, as long as the temperature does not exceed 35 degrees Celsius, it will not enter dormancy and will remain in a growing state. However, during this period, it is best not to water it and instead use a spray bottle to spray the surroundings to increase air humidity.
Its leaves are originally green, but when exposed to sufficient sunlight, the edges of the leaves will slowly turn red, which is very cute. However, be careful to provide some shading during the strong midday sunlight in the summer, as this can easily sunburn the leaves.
If there is sufficient nutrients, the Bai Feng we are growing may bloom. For the flower stems after blooming, it is important to cut them off with scissors in time, as leaving them will consume more nutrients. Also, be careful not to pull the flower stems with your hands, as this can directly damage the entire plant.
2. Ji Xing Beauty
This succulent is similar to Zichi Niannian, both branching out into many "small heads." However, compared to Zichi Niannian, the leaves of Ji Xing Beauty are more compact and thicker. In the summer, it will be in a semi-dormant state, so we must keep the soil dry and avoid excessive watering.
Then, provide some shading, but do not completely deprive it of sunlight. With sufficient sunlight and large temperature differences, by autumn, its leaves will show a pink color, which is several times cuter!
In the process of caring for it, it is easy for the branches to fall over. In such cases, we need to increase the duration of sunlight and reduce watering, so it can gradually recover and resume growth. Because it has many branches, we can cut a few healthy branches for propagation, which has a high survival rate.
3.
Moon Rabbit Ears, as the name suggests, is very cute. Its leaves are long and resemble rabbit ears, with a layer of white fuzz on the surface. When it absorbs enough sunlight, its leaves will even develop brown patterns, making it highly ornamental.
Watering once a week during its growing period is sufficient. In the dormant period of summer, you can completely stop watering, as keeping the soil dry is more beneficial for its growth. You can spray water around the potted plant, but be careful not to get it on the leaves, as this can leave unsightly spots.
