Care instructions

Watering

Water the plant thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent overwatering, as succulents are susceptible to root rot.

Soil

Use a well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix that provides good drainage. This helps prevent waterlogged soil and promotes healthy root growth.

Sunlight

Place the plant in a bright location with indirect sunlight. Crassula muscosa 'Rastafari' thrives in bright light conditions but can also tolerate some direct sunlight. Rotate the plant periodically to ensure even growth.

Prunning

Pruning is generally not necessary for Crassula muscosa 'Rastafari'. However, you can trim off any leggy or damaged stems to maintain a compact and neat appearance.

Fertilser

Feed the plant sparingly with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength during the growing season, typically spring and summer. Avoid over-fertilizing, as it can lead to leggy growth.

Pests & Disease

Monitor the plant regularly for pests such as mealybugs and spider mites. If any pests are detected, treat them with an appropriate insecticidal soap or neem oil. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot and fungal diseases.
