Sun: Crassula Arborescens Undulatifolia thrives in indirect or direct sunlight, such as near indoor windows. Please protect it from direct sunlight during summer to prevent leaf sunburn.
Temperature: Ideal growth temperatures range from 65- 75°F. Avoid exposing the plant to temperatures below 35°F during winter to prevent growth and health issues. If temperatures drop too low, move the plant indoors and increase light exposure to raise the temperature.

Watering: Crassula Arborescens Undulatifolia prefers dry growing conditions. Water thoroughly only after the soil is dehydrated, allowing excess water to drain out entirely from the bottom of the pot.
Propagation: Crassula Arborescens Undulatifolia can be easily propagated through stem cuttings. Here are specific steps and methods:

● Insert stem cuttings: Insert the dried and calloused stem cuttings into the propagation medium, burying them to half their length. Ensure the cuttings are firmly secured in the soil.

● Root growth: Within 2-4 weeks, the stem cuttings will typically begin to grow new roots. Gently tug on the stem cuttings; if resistance is felt, the roots are firmly established.
● Transplant and care: Once roots are established, transplant the new seedlings into larger containers. According to Crassula Arborescens, Undulatifolia's care requirements, including appropriate light, temperature, watering, and fertilizing, continue caring for them.
