Crassula (money tree, fat woman) is very popular among flower growers. This plant is believed to be capable of capturing mood and bringing well-being to the home. But only if the content is correct!
Crassula (or fat woman) is originally from South Africa and is used to rather harsh living conditions. This plant is difficult to scare off dry air, drought, or poor soil. However, even such an unpretentious tree, many novice flower growers are capable of lime due to improper care and carelessness. We have collected the most common mistakes that often lead to the death of a “precious” plant.
One of the most common mistakes inexperienced gardeners make is choosing the wrong pot. After all, if you take a large container, fill it to the top with earth and plant your tree there, then its taproot will stretch down, and the plant itself will go up. This will cause your green pet to become weak and may die. Therefore, choose small flat peas and soil consisting of sand and gravel for crassula.
Secondly, during transplantation, it is necessary to ensure that the root of the plant is not too long (if it has grown a lot, then it can be carefully shortened with scissors).
Thirdly, crassulla is a very tenacious plant that does not require special care and will even tolerate a prolonged lack of watering without problems. But you still need to water it. Not abundant, but often. So that water does not stagnate in the pot, which can cause root rot.
Fourthly, if your tree is still small (and has not yet begun to branch out), then it’s time to start forming it. This, of course, can be done later, but then “hemp” will remain at the place where the branches are pinched off, which will not add charm to your pet. Therefore, while the plant is still young, you can pinch off a few upper leaves (the main thing is to make sure that two pairs of leaves remain at the end of the branch). Thus, if you did everything correctly, after a while two more pairs of leaves will appear in these places, that is, “branching” will begin.
By the way, this plant also reproduces in a very simple way. It is enough to put the shoot in water, and in a few days it will take root. Therefore, if you want success and wealth not to forget the way to your home, then you definitely need to form your bright talisman and make sure that it is located in the southeast of your home. After all, it is this zone, according to the Eastern teachings of feng shui, that is responsible for prosperity and stable income.
