Care instructions

Watering

Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly and then let the soil dry partially before watering again. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.

Soil

Use a well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix. This will provide the necessary drainage to prevent waterlogged soil and root issues.

Sunlight

Provide bright but indirect sunlight for the plant. Place it near a sunny window or in a location where it receives bright, filtered light. Avoid intense, direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.

Prunning

Pruning is generally not required for Crassula sarmentosa. However, you can trim back leggy or overgrown stems to maintain a more compact and bushy appearance.

Fertilser

Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength during the growing season (spring and summer) every two to four weeks. Avoid fertilizing during the dormant period (fall and winter).

Pests & Disease

Monitor the plant for common succulent pests such as mealybugs and spider mites. If infestations occur, treat them with an appropriate insecticidal soap or neem oil solution. Ensure good airflow around the plant to prevent fungal diseases.
