How to care for Crassula Rupestris (4 inch)
Sun/Temperature: Crassula Rupestris can thrive in partial shade or full sunlight, making it suitable for indoor and outdoor cultivation. If grown outdoors, it should be protected from intense sunlight. The optimal temperature range for Crassula Rupestris is 65-80°F, and it is not frost-tolerant, so indoor temperatures should be maintained at 40-50°F during winter.
Soil/Watering: It can be planted in well-draining succulent soil or a mixture of pumice and perlite with sand for rocky succulents. This helps provide good drainage and prevents water accumulation. Be careful not to overwater, as it may cause root rot. Wait until the soil is dry before watering moderately. Watering frequency can be reduced in winter. Potted plants require more frequent watering than those planted in the ground.
Propagation: Crassula rupestris is commonly propagated by stem cuttings. This method involves using scissors or a knife to cut a stem with attached leaves from the parent plant. Allow the wound to dry before planting the cutting in potting soil.
Fertilization: It has low fertilizer requirements but can benefit from diluted succulent fertilizer monthly during summer. Be careful not to splash the leaves with fertilizer, which may affect plant growth.
