Care Instructions
Crassula perforata thrives in bright, direct sunlight and prefers moderate temperatures. It is drought-tolerant and should be watered sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. This plant does well in low humidity environments and can adapt to a variety of indoor conditions.Soil
Crassula perforata prefers well-draining soil, such as a cactus or succulent mix. A sandy soil type is ideal to prevent water retention, which can lead to root rot. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to allow excess water to escape.Fertilizer
Fertilize Crassula perforata sparingly, using a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 2-7-7. Apply the fertilizer during the growing season, typically once a month, to support healthy growth.Repotting
Repot Crassula perforata every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, shake off excess soil, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil mix.Propagation
Crassula perforata can be easily propagated through stem cuttings. Take a cutting from a healthy stem, allow it to dry for a few days to form a callus, and then plant it in well-draining soil. Water sparingly until new growth appears.Pruning
Pruning is generally not required for Crassula perforata. However, you can trim back leggy growth or remove any dead or damaged leaves to maintain the plant's appearance.Toxicity
Crassula perforata is not toxic to pets or humans. However, it is always a good idea to keep plants out of reach of pets and children to prevent any accidental ingestion.REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR PLANT CARE
