Crassula heels
Despite the superstitions that suggest that the fall of the money tree is a sign of impending financial difficulties, the fatty heel is easy to explain in terms of physiology:
- Incorrectly formed crown - it grows strongly, has an irregular shape and bends the trunk under its weight.
- One-sided placement of the flower - if you do not systematically rotate the plant, the crown develops only in one direction, which can lead to a break in the central shoot.
- Violation of the irrigation regime - stagnant moisture in the roots of a succulent has a negative effect on the state of the stem. The latter begins to rot and softens, and then breaks under the weight of the crown.
Crassula has a superficial root system, which is not able to hold a fragile trunk under the weight of thickened leaves.
How to care for a money tree
The fat woman does not require much attention, but if the florist has set himself the goal of flowering, it is necessary to strictly observe the agrotechnical cultivation of the crop. In addition, you should initially select the appropriate pot and substrate.
Soil and capacity
The pot is chosen wide, but shallow, which is connected with the superficial root system of the culture. The soil is placed on top of a thick layer of drainage so that the roots do not stagnate moisture. The substrate is prepared loose and nutritious, mixing turf, leaf soil and sand in a ratio of 1: 3: 1. To reduce the acidity, if necessary, you can add wood ash.
Lighting, temperature and transplant
Place the container with the money tree should not be on the windows of the southern orientation, as direct sunlight can burn the delicate leaves of the plant. The flower develops well at room temperatures, but it should not be left near the heating devices, which are very dry air. Crassula is long over the procedure. Every year it is transplanted only up to the age of three. Then it is enough to update the soil at intervals of 3 years.
Watering and feeding
Succulents accumulate moisture in the leaves. It easily goes through dry periods. But waterlogging for culture is dangerous: it contributes to the development of gray rot. Watering should be carried out after drying the surface layer of the soil. Feed the bastard should be only during the growing season twice a month. Used for this fertilizer for cacti or succulents.
A money tree is an exotic plant that can perfectly do without moisture for a long time. It is unpretentious, but to achieve the flowering of Crassula, you have to put a lot of effort.
