Nightshirt
This article introduces the care of the succulent plant Crassula tecta. The basic maintenance of Nightshirt will be discussed by the site editor for netizens.
Nightshirt has thick, greenish-white leaves that are opposite and closely arranged, with a rough surface and fine particles. The small flowers are milky white with five-petaled miniature petals. Pollination must be cross-pollination.
For the soil of kites, a mixture of peat, perlite, and coal slag is used, roughly in a 1:1:1 ratio. To isolate the plant from direct contact with the soil surface and to improve aeration, kite habitually covers the ground with clean river sand particles, with a size of 3 to 5 millimeters. Watering is done only when the soil is completely dry, and no watering is done when it is not dry.
In winter, when the temperature drops below 5 degrees, watering should be gradually reduced. Below 3 degrees, keep the potting soil dry and try to maintain a temperature no lower than minus 3 degrees. Dry potting soil can safely survive the winter. When watering, try to water the soil and not let the leaves get wet, as it can affect their appearance. Moreover, do not water the core of the flower, as it may rot.
The growth of Nightshirt is relatively fast compared to Sedum and it tends to cluster.
The propagation methods include seeding, dividing, and cutting off the top. Kite usually uses the cutting method for propagation by cutting and inserting, and the remaining part will sprout new buds.
The above is the specific introduction of the basic maintenance of Crassula tecta (Nightshirt) for reference by netizens.
