Care Instructions
Crassula streyi thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers moderate temperatures. It should be watered sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings. This plant enjoys moderate humidity levels and can adapt to various indoor conditions.Soil
Crassula streyi prefers well-draining soil, such as a loam-based mix. Ensure the soil has good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. A cactus or succulent soil mix is ideal for this plant.Fertilizer
Fertilize Crassula streyi with a balanced succulent fertilizer, such as a 2-4-4 N-P-K formula, during the growing season. Apply the fertilizer sparingly, as over-fertilization can harm the plant.Repotting
Repot Crassula streyi 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 streyi can be propagated through leaf or stem cuttings. Take cuttings during the growing season, allow them to callous over for a few days, and then plant them in well-draining soil. Keep the soil lightly moist until new growth appears.Pruning
Prune Crassula streyi 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 to make clean cuts.Toxicity
Crassula streyi is generally non-toxic to pets and humans. However, it is always best to keep plants out of reach of pets and children to prevent any accidental ingestion.REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR PLANT CARE
