How to care for Crassula Arborescens Undulatifolia
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.
Soil/Pot: You can plant the lovely Crassula Arborescens Undulatifolia in a well-draining succulent potting mix and a blend of sandy soil. Choose pots with drainage holes for these succulents.
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:
● Select healthy stem cuttings: Choose healthy stem segments from mature Crassula Arborescens Undulatifolia plants, approximately 3-4 inches (7.5-10 cm) long, free from pests and diseases.
● Allow cuttings to dry and callous: Place the cuttings in a cool, ventilated area until the cut ends are dry and calloused. This process typically takes 2-3 days, reducing the risk of infection during propagation.
● Prepare propagation medium: Use a well-draining succulent or sandy soil mix as the propagation medium.
● 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.
● Maintain humidity and light: Place the planted cuttings in a bright location with indirect sunlight. If the soil is too dry and the plant is getting flat, Use a spray bottle to moisten lightly, avoiding overwatering to prevent stem rot.
● 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.
