Succulent & Cactus Soil

Soil Type

Water: Crassula rogersii thrives in arid conditions, storing water in its succulent leaves, making it drought-tolerant. Water every 2-3 weeks, ensuring soil dries out in between. It prefers well-draining soil to prevent root rot and does best in stable indoor conditions.

Fertilize: For optimal growth, crassula rogersii should be fertilized with Succulents and Cacti Food at quarter strength every 3-4 weeks in spring and summer. During dormancy in fall and winter, reduce to once every 1-2 months. Ensure soil is damp before application to prevent root burn.

Pruning: To maintain the shape of crassula rogersii, pruning is recommended in spring and autumn, removing redundant and dense branches. For propagation, cut stems with 5-6 leaves, apply sulfur powder on the wound, and plant after healing, keeping the soil slightly moist.

Propagation: Crassula rogersii is propagated mainly through cuttings with a few leaf nodes. Use well-draining succulent soil and allow cuttings to callous before planting. Water sparingly, only when the soil is dry, to prevent rot and promote healthy growth.

Repotting: Crassula rogersii is a compact succulent forming rosettes with fleshy leaves. Repot every 2 years in spring using a larger pot with good drainage. Wait one week before watering post-repotting, and keep in bright, indirect light for optimal health.
