Care instructions

Watering

Allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent overwatering, as excessive moisture can cause root rot. Water the plant thoroughly and then let the soil dry out before watering again. Adjust the watering frequency based on the environmental conditions and the moisture needs of the plant.

Soil

Use a well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix. This type of soil allows excess water to drain away quickly, preventing waterlogged conditions that can harm the plant's roots.

Sunlight

Provide Crassula ovata 'Minima' with bright, indirect sunlight. It thrives in a sunny location, such as a south-facing window, where it can receive several hours of sunlight each day. However, protect it from intense, direct sunlight, especially during the hot afternoon hours, as it can scorch the leaves.

Prunning

Pruning is generally not required for Crassula ovata 'Minima.' However, you can trim back any leggy or overgrown stems to maintain a compact and bushy shape. Use clean, sharp pruning shears and make clean cuts just above a leaf node.

Fertilser

Feed the plant sparingly during the active growing season, typically spring and summer. Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer formulated for succulents or cacti. Follow the instructions on the fertilizer packaging for the proper dilution and frequency of application.

Pests & Disease

Monitor the plant for common succulent pests such as mealybugs, scale insects, and spider mites. If any pests are detected, treat them promptly using insecticidal soap or a neem oil solution. Also, watch for signs of rot or fungal infections, which can occur if the plant is overwatered or exposed to excessive moisture. Ensure good airflow around the plant and avoid overcrowding to prevent disease issues.
