Care Instructions
Crassula multicava thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers moderate temperatures. It is relatively low-maintenance and can tolerate periods of drought. Ensure the plant receives adequate humidity and avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.Soil
This plant prefers well-draining soil, such as a loam-based mix. Good drainage is essential to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. A cactus or succulent soil mix is ideal.Fertilizer
Fertilize Crassula multicava with a balanced, low-nitrogen fertilizer (2-4-4) during the growing season. Apply the fertilizer sparingly, as succulents do not require heavy feeding.Repotting
Repot Crassula multicava 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
Propagate Crassula multicava through leaf or stem cuttings. Allow the cuttings to dry for a day or two before planting them in well-draining soil. Keep the soil lightly moist until roots develop.Pruning
Prune Crassula multicava to maintain its shape and remove any dead or damaged leaves. Pruning can be done throughout the year as needed. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears.Toxicity
