Crassulas are sluttish to grow but susceptible to granulose bugs and fungous diseases . Overwatering is certain to be black , as with all succulents , so err on the side of being too teetotal rather than too pie-eyed . Never let your Crassula sit in piddle . If you water from beneath by allowing the plant to sit around in a saucer , pour off any surplus water after a few min .
Crassulas are loosely started by segmentation , offsets , or leaf cutting . plant can be easily propagated from a undivided folio : sprout leaves by placing them into a succulent or cacti mix , then covering the mantrap until they sprout . Repot as needed , sooner during the warm season .
To repot a succulent , guarantee the soil is dry before repotting , then mildly remove the pot . strike hard away the one-time soil from the solution , dispatch any rotted or all in source . care for any cuts with a antimycotic agent . Place the works in its new pot and backfill it with potting soil , spreading the root out as you repot .
