Care instructions

Watering

Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly, ensuring excess water drains away, and avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.

Use a well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix. The soil should be porous and provide good drainage to prevent waterlogged conditions.

Crassula pubescens 'Red Carpet' thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. Place it near a window or in a spot with bright filtered light. Avoid exposing it to direct, intense sunlight, as it can cause sunburn.

Pruning is not necessary for this low-growing succulent. However, you can pinch off any leggy or discolored stems to maintain a compact and tidy appearance.

Feed the plant sparingly during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half the recommended strength. Apply the fertilizer once a month to provide the necessary nutrients.

Monitor the plant regularly for common succulent pests like mealybugs, aphids, and spider mites. If pests are present, treat them with a suitable organic insecticide or use a gentle insecticidal soap. Ensure good air circulation around the plant to prevent fungal diseases.
