Crassula capitella, commonly known as Campfire Crassula, is a distinctive succulent known for its vibrant colors that can range from green to bright red or orange, especially when exposed to full sunlight. This plant is native to South Africa and is appreciated for its striking appearance and ease of care, making it a popular choice among succulent enthusiasts.
Care Requirements
Light
- Sunlight Needs: Crassula capitella thrives in full sun to partial shade. It should be placed less than one foot from a south-facing window to maximize growth and color vibrancy. Insufficient light can lead to loss of color and poor growth.
Watering
- Watering Schedule: Use the "soak and dry" method, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. When not receiving direct sunlight, it typically requires about 0.5 to 0.8 cups of water every 12 days, depending on pot size and environmental conditions.
Soil and Nutrients
- Soil Type: A well-draining soil mix is essential to prevent root rot. Most potting soils provide adequate nutrients initially, but repotting may be necessary as the plant grows.
- Fertilization: Fertilize with a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). Over-fertilization can harm the plant, so it’s important to follow recommended guidelines.
Propagation
Crassula capitella can be easily propagated through:
- Stem Cuttings: Cut a healthy stem, allow it to callous for a few days, and then plant it in well-draining soil.
- Offsets: The plant produces small offsets that can be gently removed and replanted after drying for a day or two.
Common Issues
- Pests: Watch for mealybugs; treat infestations with isopropyl alcohol or insecticidal soap.
- Overwatering: Symptoms include pale leaves that may fall off. Ensure the soil dries out completely before watering again.
Conclusion
With its striking colors and relatively low maintenance needs, Crassula capitella 'Campfire' is an excellent addition to any succulent collection. By providing adequate light, water, and nutrients, you can enjoy this beautiful plant's vibrant appearance year-round.
