Crassula Mesembryanthoides growth environment

Crassula Mesembryanthoides prefers sunshine, which is green in daily life. It will gradually change color when sunshine time increases and temperature difference increases. Crassula Mesembryanthoides can get full sun and enjoy dry, warm growing conditions. It’s water demand is not much, too much water is easy to breed diseases and waterlogging death. In summer high temperatures, it comes into dormancy. Pay attention to reduce watering. In winter it can continue to grow. Crassula Mesembryanthoides is very easy to group, the way of propagation is based on cuttage, but also leaf insertion.

Sunshine time

Crassula Mesembryanthoides cultivation techniques

Crassula Mesembryanthoides grows at a moderate temperature of 15-25 degrees, not less than 5 degrees in winter.

Watering in the growing period is generally dry and thoroughly watered, and keeping the basin and soil dry in winter. Fertilization usually takes place every 2 months during the growing season. 

The Crassula Mesembryanthoides breeding method

Crassula Mesembryanthoides were used for cutting propagation, which could be carried out all the year round. With fast rooting in spring and autumn and high survival rate, relatively orderly branches and leaves were selected and inserted into the sand basin. After 20-25 days of rooting, the roots could be put into a basin when the root length was 2-3 cm.
