Crassula has many names, but most it is known as the "tree of happiness" or "money tree". This completely unpretentious and hardy plant and care for the rosula is not at all complicated.
How to care for the rosula?
To understand how to care for the rosula, you just need to remember a few facts about its origin. The fact is that this plant comes from Africa, which means that she loves the sun and easily tolerates high temperatures and low humidity.
The leaves of the rosula are thick, round and fleshy, covered with a silver wax coating - an excellent protection against burns on a hot summer day. It is absolutely not afraid of direct sunlight, and when it's warm outside, it can be put on a balcony or taken out to the front garden.
Growing rosules is a real art. It propagates by cuttings and seeds, but the first variant is the simplest. To reddened to become a tree, you need to work on the glory. Sometimes under her weight she drops the cuttings. Those who want to get another plant, it is enough to dig it in a wet land in a small pot for a small depth of up to 5 centimeters. In a few days, Krasules put out roots and begin to grow. When it appreciably grows, you can begin to form the crown - for this it is enough to carefully remove excess leaves and twigs. Here there are no special recommendations - it all depends on the desire and imagination.
Blossoms rarely blossom and completely unpredictable, and this happens in particularly diligent and attentive owners. The flowers of the rosula are white, sometimes with a pinkish or yellowish tint, they are somewhat like small lilies collected in small umbrellas.
Care for rosula in winter
Watering should be moderate in summer and in winter. Especially you need to monitor the watering in the winter - water once a week with such a quantity of water that it does not stagnate, otherwise rotting of the roots is possible.
Winter - a period of rest for the "money tree", at this time it is useful to feed it with liquid nitrogen-containing solutions, but no more than three times in the entire period. Very suitable for feeding cacti, because redoubs - a close relative of these plants. Also in winter, you need to pay attention to the temperature - it should be at least 10 degrees, otherwise the plant will begin to stretch, the leaves will become rare, shallow and gray. You can not put it at a hot heater, from this, its leaves will begin to turn pale and crumble. Sometimes it is useful to spray the rosula with water or to wipe its leaves with a damp cloth.
Because of the lack of sunlight in the winter, the reddish can become one-sided and fall under the weight of its weight. It is desirable to rotate it periodically, so that the crown is uniform. Airing is also useful.
How to transplant the redhead?
