Growing a home money tree on your own is very easy even for a novice florist. This can be done in several ways.

With the help of a scion... The rooting of the bastard cuttings is quite fast.

Rooting in water:

1. A stalk 7-10 cm long is placed in a container of water, removing the leaves from the bottom by about 3 cm.
2. Stimulants of rooting can be added to the water, for example, root, but this is not at all necessary, since without any additives, the cutting will take root in about a week.
3. The resulting shoot is planted in the ground.

They plant the shoot directly into the ground:

1. The base is buried 2-3 cm into the ground for cacti or succulents, sprayed with water and, if necessary, a support is installed.
2. The pot is chosen small in size, a drainage layer is poured on the bottom.
3. Roots appear quickly, within 1-2 weeks.

Using a sheet... A money tree is grown from a leaf in the same ways as from a cutting. First, I root the leaf in water, then plant it in the ground, or immediately plant the leaf in the ground and wait for the young shoots. The principle is the same as when growing violets from a leaf.

Conditions and rules for growing fat men

In order for the money tree, according to legends, to bring profit and improve financial well-being, it must be looked after properly. After all, as legends say, only a healthy, powerful and well-formed plant has magical properties.

Perfect soil and the right pot

The best soil for crassula is cacti and succulent plants. If a universal mixture is used, then a part of river sand is added to it in a ratio of 3: 1. If the soil has an acidic reaction, then dolomite flour is added to it - Crassula does not grow well in an acidic environment.

The pot should be short and wide.The size of the pot is selected based on the size of the plant. The diameter of the pot should be approximately equal to the diameter of the crown. The money tree grows equally well in earthenware and ceramic dishes, and in plastic pots. Several centimeters of drainage must be poured at the bottom of the container.

Location and regular care

The fat woman prefers a bright and warm place. Ideal for growing it east side, however, western and southern are allowed. When grown on a southern windowsill, the tree must be shaded from the scorching sunlight.

Every 2-3 weeks, the pot should be rotated 1/4 axis towards the light source. It is necessary to protect the plant from drafts. They can cause leaves to fall off. By the way, the toast is recommended as a plant for the bedroom, it is believed that its presence improves the relations of the spouses.

Water the money tree regularly and abundantly. The earthen coma should not be allowed to dry out more than 2-3 cm. The water should be at room temperature. In winter, watering is slightly reduced.

The fat woman is fed with universal fertilizer or fertilizer for cacti and succulents. The frequency of dressing in the spring-summer vegetation period is 1 time in 2-3 weeks. The rest of the time, fertilizers are not used.

Crown formation and wintering

To grow thick money tree, you need to plant it in a small pot. When the entire earthen lump is braided with roots, the fat woman will begin to increase the mass of the trunk, and then the crown.

To stimulate education lush crown, the pinching begins already when a young plant has a bud over four pairs of leaves. It is pinched so that after a while two shoots are formed in its place, which, in turn, pinch in a similar pattern.

The fat woman does not have a pronounced rest period. However, from October to February-March, it is advisable to keep the plant in a cooler place, with an approximate temperature of 15-20 degrees. Watering is carried out when the earthen coma dries up by half.

Dangerous diseases and pests

The most common cause of fatty disease is spider mite... In this case, the trunk, branches and leaves are covered with a white cobweb bloom. A soap solution will help to get rid of. Moisten a soft sponge in soap dissolved in water and wipe all parts of the plant. In case of severe damage, it is worth using the drug "Fufanon".

If brown or rusty spots appear on the leaves of the money tree, then we can conclude that it is infected scabbard... The affected areas are wiped with a brush dipped in alcohol, then, as in the case of a spider mite, the leaves, branches and trunk are wiped with a sponge dipped in soapy water. From drugs it is recommended to use "Fufanon" or "Fitoverm".

White flakes in the axils of the leaves indicate infection. mealybug... In this case, the plant slows down growth, the shoots are deformed, and the leaves can fall off. If the lesions are small, then the extraneous formations are cleaned off with a brush. If a significant part of the plant is affected, then actellic must be used for treatment.

If the leaves have lost their turgor, become lethargic and yellow, then there may be several reasons:

1. One of the most common is insufficient watering. The pot is placed in a container with warm, settled water for 15 minutes, then excess moisture is allowed to drain.
2. The second reason is decay. At the same time, the leaves are weeping. The plant is taken out of the pot, the soil is shaken off, the roots are examined and the damaged ones are removed. Places of cuts are sprinkled with crushed coal. The tree is planted in fresh soil, watering is reduced for a while.
3. Long exposure to direct sunlight can cause yellowing and leaf fall. To prevent this, the pot with the plant is removed to the back of the room and sufficient watering is ensured.

In the warm season, the money tree can be kept outdoors - used for a garden on the balcony or in landscape floriculture. It is important to ensure that the air temperature does not drop below 15 degrees and do not leave the plant in the rain.

The flower is not whimsical to care for, it is very popular among flower growers. The "money tree" is found in many homes. In offices, one might say, a necessary attribute, like a hole punch or a kettle.

People believe that the "money tree" has a good sense of the financial situation of the owners and can attract wealth. A lot of attention is paid to this tree in Feng Shui. Where should it be, what kind of ribbon should be tied, and so on. We will leave this question to Feng Shui sites. Let's go back to the plant and consider how to properly care for a flower. After all, if you take care of it incorrectly, then it will wither away, and what a welfare after that!

Caring for a fat woman at home

The fat woman belongs to the genus Crassula. These are the most diverse plants that can be. This genus even carries plants for the aquarium. Consider caring for the popular tree-like jerky. The fat woman belongs to succulents. Even a novice florist who does not have any experience in growing indoor plants will not be bothered by caring for a plant.

Location and lighting

Indoors, the fat woman needs to be placed on the southeast windows, as even Feng Shui recommends. Direct sunlight must be avoided, from this the leaves will turn red, wither and fall off. The leaves of the "money tree" can also fall from lack of fresh air.

In summer, Crassula can be taken out to the balcony, there she will be quite comfortable, besides, fresh air will only benefit. In winter, it is better to transfer the plant to the south side.

Watering a flower

Watering on very hot days should be done twice a week. At normal temperatures, once is enough. Watch the earthen lump carefully, do not let it dry out too much, but do not fill it either. It is very important not to flood the fat woman, and at the same time, so that the earth does not dry out in any way. Perhaps this is the most important moment when caring for Crassula. In winter, the flower needs to be watered even less often - about once every two weeks.

Temperature for the fat woman

In spring and summer, the optimum temperature for keeping the fat woman will be 20-25 degrees. In summer, it is advisable to take Crassula outdoors, the plant needs fresh air. The most suitable temperature in autumn and winter is 15 degrees or less, but not lower than 4 degrees. The fat woman can hibernate at room temperature, but in this case, there is a high probability that her leaves will begin to wither and fall off.

Important! The fat woman should not be placed near batteries and heating appliances.

Plant feeding

You can feed the flower in the summer, twice a month will be enough. Fertilizer is good for cacti and succulents. The rest of the time, the fat woman needs to be fed only once a month, and the fertilizer concentration should be diluted twice. Top dressing should only be applied to wet soil, so feed the crassula after watering.

Crassula transplant

It is often not recommended to transplant a fat woman. It is necessary to transplant a flower only if it has grown strongly or it is necessary to divide the bush, at least once every 2-3 years. It is best to transplant a fat woman in the spring. For this, ordinary purchased land for cacti and succulents is suitable.

Important! Don't forget to take care of good drainage.

Reproduction of a fat woman

The fat woman propagates by dividing the bush or cuttings and seeds.

Propagation by cuttings

When propagated by cuttings, they are put into water for germinating roots. Charcoal can be added to the water for faster root formation. If desired, the cuttings can be immediately rooted in the ground, but it is still better to sprout them first in water. After the cuttings of Crassula give roots, they are planted in small pots with soil from leaf and turf soil, with the addition of sand in equal proportions. Further, pots with small crassulas must be kept at a temperature of 16-18 degrees. Watering is carried out once a day. This is the most common and easiest way to breed a fat woman.

Seed propagation

Seed propagation is less common among flower growers, although the care for germinated seeds is exactly the same as for cuttings.

Blooming fat woman

It turns out that the bastard can bloom, but this phenomenon is quite rare. Even experienced florists cannot always achieve the flowering of the Money Tree. If you have never seen how beautiful white flowers bloom on your plant, then most likely the problem lies in the lack of illumination of the fat woman. Crassula especially often begins to bloom during the period of its active growth.

Crown formation

In order for the fat woman to have a beautiful and decorative look, it is necessary to form its crown. To do this, you need to prune heavily overgrown tree branches. The cut must be carried out so that four leaves remain on the branch.

It is also recommended to carry out pinching, first of all it concerns the top of the crassula. In order for the fat woman to have a beautiful and uniform crown, you need to turn it in different directions towards the light.

Diseases and pests

The fat woman, like other houseplants, is susceptible to attack by parasites. Spider mites, scale insects and mealybugs are especially dangerous.

• If Crassula is damaged by a spider mite, a barely noticeable cobweb forms on its leaves and stem. In such a situation, a soap solution or medicinal preparations Fufanon, Fitoverm will help.
• When damaged by a scabbard, yellow and brown spots appear on the leaves. You need to treat a fat woman in the same way as with a spider mite.
• If the plant is affected by mealybugs, then it is necessary to carry out medical procedures with a solution of laundry soap, and if it does not help, then you need to use insecticides. You can also try to get rid of the worm with a piece of cotton wool dipped in alcohol.

Problems when growing Crassula

• The greatest danger to the fat woman is an excess of moisture. If the soil is too moist, then rotting of the roots and even the base of the trunk is possible.
• If the fat woman does not have enough moisture, then the leaves in this case may become lethargic.
• If you water the fat woman with cold water, then the leaves may crumble altogether.
• Crassula does not tolerate drafts, because of them, leaves can dry out and fall off.
• It is impossible for direct sunlight to fall on the bottom (base) of the fat woman.

The healing properties of the fat woman

The fat woman according to Chinese feng shui brings good luck and success in financial affairs. In addition, Crassula is a symbol of wealth, it is not for nothing that it is called the Money Tree. But in addition to feng shui, the fat woman has healing properties: it purifies the air, relieves stress and tension, improves microflora, thereby reducing disease-causing formations in the room. All this in general has a positive effect on human health.

Growing a fat woman at home (video)

The fat woman is one of the most unpretentious and well-known indoor plants. Even a novice florist can grow it at home. The money tree is also popular because, as it is believed in feng shui, it can attract wealth, love and good luck to the house. That is why on the windowsills of many apartments you can see the trees of a fat woman with leaves that look like coins. But, despite the whimsicality, the plant requires a certain and careful care.

Description, types and photos of fat women

Fat woman or Crassula belongs to the genus succulents and the Tolstyankov family. A rather small and neat tree, which we are used to seeing at home, grows up to four meters in nature. On its thick trunk, opposite each other, simple and integral extreme leaves grow. They can be green, light green, silvery and dark with a red border. Under good growing conditions and proper care, the plant can bloom with white, blue, yellow or light red flowers. All fat women are distinguished by fleshy leaves and drought tolerance.

There are many different types of money tree, among which there are annuals and perennials... Only a few of them are grown at home:

1. The oval bastard is a plant up to one meter high, the thick branches of which are strewn with petiolate oval-shaped leaves. The leaves can be up to 5 cm long and 2.5 cm wide. It blooms with white or pink small flowers.
2. The plow-shaped crassula is distinguished by fleshy, but very thin, pointed leaves, along the edges of which there is another dense row of tiny leaves. It blooms with inconspicuous small flowers. The tree grows very quickly and reproduces well. Its shoots seem to hang down and practically fall out of the pot. Small roots do not require much moisture, so the plant can be used as a ground cover.
3. Schmidt's fat woman is an annual bushy plant that is often found in Europe. After flowering, the tree is thrown away, and the next year a new one is planted. The narrow leaves of this species of Crassula are pointed towards the end and have a silvery bloom on top. They are slightly reddish below. During the flowering period, red-carmine flowers bloom on the tree.
4. The tree-like crassula is a tree up to one and a half meters high. Gray leaves with a reddish border grow on its fleshy branches. They reach 8 cm in length and 5 cm in width. It rarely blooms at home, and in nature, medium-sized white flowers bloom on the tree, which turn pink over time. The plant loves diffused light, so it grows well on western and eastern windowsills.
5. The dotted bastard is distinguished by lodging stems and belongs to herbaceous plants. Its ovoid thin leaves are pointed towards the end. The silvery green leaves are strewn with dark blotches, as it were. It blooms with white flowers, collected in thyroid inflorescences.
6. The tetrahedral crassula is an unpretentious and rapidly growing shrub with thin branches. Its shoots spread along the ground and have many aerial roots. Since the plant grows rapidly, it needs regular renewal. This type of Crassula is easily propagated by cuttings.
7. Rocky bastard is a creeping plant, the length of the shoots of which can reach fifty centimeters. Its fleshy thin leaves grow in pairs and grow together at the base. There is a red bloom on the leaves, and a red border runs along their edges. During the flowering period, small pink flowers bloom.

Fat woman: home care, photo

Growing and caring for a money tree is quite simple and interesting. Providing a tropical flower with the necessary conditions for keeping, it should be remembered that in spring and summer the plant has a period of active growth, and in winter - a period of dormancy.

Lighting and air temperature

Fat woman refers to light-loving plants, but does not tolerate direct sunlight. It is better to place it near the southeastern windows, where there is enough sun, not too hot and the sun's rays do not burn. In winter, the plant can be placed on the southern windowsill, and in summer it can be taken out to the balcony or garden. In the fresh air, the flower grows well and can bloom. To do this, you need to choose a place protected from wind and scorching sun.

In the warm season, a home-grown Crassula will feel good at an air temperature of + 20- + 25 degrees. In winter, the plant has a dormant period, therefore, it must be kept in a cool room with a temperature of about + 10- + 14 degrees.

If it is not possible to provide the fat woman with the required temperature in the winter season, then it is recommended to put it away from heating appliances. Otherwise, from dry air and heat, the leaves from the plant will begin to fall off, and the tree itself will stretch out. The money tree also begins to shed its leaves with constant drafts in the room.

Watering and feeding

When caring for a fat woman, it must be remembered that you cannot fill a plant with fleshy stems. Regular watering leads to decay of roots and loss of leaves... Crassula is watered only after its earthen lump dries out from above by three to four centimeters.

During the dormant period, if the plant is kept in a cool room from November to February, watering practically stops. At this time, you just need to make sure that the substrate in the pot does not dry out completely.

The pot in which the money tree grows must necessarily have holes from below through which water enters the pan. Before planting the plant, a thick layer of drainage must be poured onto the bottom of the pot.

It is recommended to water the fat woman only with water at room temperature that has been separated for several days. Do not place the plant in the sun. In this case, the top layer of the soil will dry out quickly, while the bottom will still remain moist.

In the hot season and when keeping the plant in a room with the batteries turned on several times a month, you need a money tree rinse under a warm shower... The top of the pot with soil must be wrapped in polyethylene beforehand so that water does not get into the ground. The fat woman can be taken to its place only after the water has drained from it. If there is no opportunity to arrange a shower for the plant, then its leaves are periodically sprayed from a spray bottle and wiped with a damp cloth.

It is often not recommended to feed fat women. It is enough to fertilize the plant with nutrient solutions special for succulents once a month in spring and summer, and once every three months during the dormant period. So that fertilizers do not burn the roots and are well absorbed, they are applied one day after watering the flower.

Features of the money tree transplant

Caring for a fat woman at home involves plant transplant once every two years... Crassula's roots are too small, so the pot for it must match their size. At the same time, the container for planting should be heavy, since with a small root system, a large tree can begin to collapse.

You can transplant the plant into a soil special for succulents, which is sold in flower shops. Prepare an earthen mixture for transplanting a fat woman, you can independently, by mixing for this:

• leafy ground - 1 part;
• sod soil - 4 parts;
• humus - 1 part;
• sand - 1 part.

Expanded clay, pieces of coal or brick chips must be poured at the bottom of the pot.

In the process of transplanting the roots of the plant, it is recommended to carefully examine and remove the rotten ones. In this case, the cut points are sprinkled crushed activated carbon, the tree is left for a day to dry the roots and only then is it planted in a prepared container.

Breeding methods of a fat woman

The money tree at home can be propagated in two ways:

• seeds;
• cuttings.

Seed propagation

Plant seeds are sown in seedling containersfilled with moist soil. From above, the crops are covered with glass or polyethylene. Care consists in spraying the soil as it dries and daily airing the mini greenhouse. The first seedlings should appear in two weeks.The glass must be removed immediately, and the seedling containers must be placed in a well-lit place. It is better not to water the soil around the seedlings of Crassula, but to spray it. As soon as young plants grow and get stronger, they can be planted in small separate pots.

Propagation by cuttings

This is the easiest way to propagate a money tree. It is recommended to harvest and plant cuttings in March or April... In this case, according to experienced flower growers, there is a possibility that the fat woman will bloom.

As cuttings, you can take just a leaf of a plant or a piece of a trunk. In the prepared soil, the segments are deepened by about 6 cm, and the leaves - by 1 cm. For better rooting, a transparent container is put on top of the cuttings. In such a mini greenhouse, the plant will feel much more comfortable and take root faster. You should take care of the cuttings carefully, airing them daily and checking the moisture content of the soil.

Possible problems when growing a money tree

At home, with proper care, a fat woman usually does not get sick and is not affected by pests. Therefore, if there are problems with an unpretentious plant, then this is for sure errors in its maintenance and care:

1. Watering with cold water and excessive watering leads to root rot. The plant first changes color and leaves fall off. Then the table becomes soft and the flower gradually dies. In this case, in the early stages, the soil must be dried and spilled with preparations for fungal diseases. If this does not help, then the plant is pulled out of the pot and its rotten roots are cut off.
2. Insufficient lighting can cause the tree to stretch out and become ugly. Therefore, in poorly lit rooms, it is recommended to grow the plant on window sills.
3. If the indoor air is too dry, Crassula leaves may begin to dry out and wither. In this case, the tree can be taken out into fresh air, and regularly sprayed during the winter period.

Fatty women are rarely affected by pests, but, nevertheless, they are sometimes attacked by:

• mealybug in leaf axils forms a white bloom;
• a spider mite is a very small insect that leaves sticky cobwebs between the stems and leaves;
• scabbard in the form of yellow or brown raised spots can be seen on the trunk and leaves.

In all cases, the plant is treated with folk remedies or special chemicals.

Crown formation

In order for the money tree to have a neat round shape, and not look like a shrub with thin stems, it is recommended to start shaping its crown on your own.

You need to start forming a fat woman still at a young age, when three to four pairs of leaves appear on its branches. For this, a new bud located between the leaves is pinched with tweezers or nails. Some time after the procedure, two or three new buds will appear at the site of the removed bud, and the tree will begin to branch. At this time, you need to ensure that there are no more than four pairs of leaves on each branch. The top of the grown tree is pinched off.

If Crassula was purchased already in adulthood, then its height and splendor can still be adjust by circumcision... To do this, a branch is cut over the fourth pair of leaves, and the cut is sprinkled with crushed activated carbon.

For uniform growth and development of the crown, the bastard periodically needs to be turned in different directions towards the light. It is not recommended to plant several Crassula sprouts in one pot at once. In this case, after a while, you will get several shapeless bushes.

An unpretentious and disease-resistant money tree at home can be grown even by a beginner in gardening. With proper care, an ornamental plant will decorate any room and, if you believe in feng shui, will attract prosperity and good luck to your home.

Jumbo flower

One of the most effective and amazing feng shui talismans is the fat woman. How to plant a money tree at home? To attract money to the house, a flower is grown from a scion. It is believed that this is the only way to get the best out of it. Many people resort to its unique properties, trying to have a beautiful plant with leaves that look like coins in their home.

Landing a living mascot

Feng Shui rules say: you can't buy a ready-made adult flower for money. In order for Crassula - this is the "official name" of this plant - to really bring wealth to the house, you will need to grow the plant with your own hands.

1. Seeing a growing tree from friends or acquaintances, you will need to break off a stalk or leaf from it. But this must be done in secret from the owner. You don't need to ask permission to get money, otherwise you won't get a talisman from the money tree.
2. Arriving home, you need to put your treasure in a glass of water at room temperature. Usually, boiled cooled water is used for these purposes. A week later, the stalk will sprout.
3. The planting pot is prepared in advance. It is necessary to disinfect it with a solution of potassium permanganate. The planting container should be wide but shallow. According to the rules of feng shui, the color of money is the suit of earth and metal. Therefore, when choosing a pot for crassula, you need to pay attention to colors such as brown, silver, burgundy. It will grow well in a red or gold pot.
4. Purchased cactus soil is suitable for planting a flower. You can make a good substrate yourself. But the soil must be prepared correctly. To do this, you will need to mix high-moor peat, coarse sand, leafy and soddy soil in a ratio of 0.5x1x1x1.
5. When planting, you need to pour the soil into the pot, make a small depression and plant the shoot, being careful not to damage the delicate roots.

Signs

The plant will only bring profit if it is activated. To do this, you need to put 6 coins on the bottom of the pot. This number awakens the magic of numbers.

Growing a fat woman from a leaf

Compared to growing crassula from a scion, this method is considered more troublesome, since it requires skill and time.

How to plant a money tree with a leaf? Again, the leaf will need to be taken from an adult copy, but no one should notice. This is the main rule of attracting money to the house. Arriving home, the plate must be put on a sheet of paper and left to lie on the table for 2 days. During this time, the edge will dry out a little, and it can be planted in the ground.

To root a leaf, you can take a small plastic cup, pour soil (not too nutritious) into it and plant the leaf, slightly burying it in the ground. After planting, you need to cover the cup with a plastic bag. Regularly, 3 times a day, the greenhouse needs to be ventilated. Turn the bag inside out each time, letting it dry. This way you can avoid the accumulation of condensation on the surface of the bag and protect the soil from the appearance of mold.

When planting with a leaf, the roots appear in about a month, but the sprout will have to wait even longer. The fact is that the plant will first have to build up the root system, and only then a small sprout can appear.

When 2 true leaves appear on the plant, it is planted in a large container.

Plant care

Crassula prefers bright, diffused light, but suffers from the scorching rays of the sun. Therefore, it is recommended to place the pot with the plant on the windowsill from the east side in summer, and in winter to transfer it to the south side. The midday rays of the sun cause particular harm to the plant, at this time it is necessary to shade the pot with the plant, thereby eliminating the burn of the leaves.

In summer, you can take the plant out onto a terrace or balcony. The supply of fresh air and sufficient lighting will favorably affect the growth of the fat woman.

If in winter the plant does not have enough natural light, its stems stretch out and become bare, and “coins” are dropped. The growth of the plant slows down and it looks unattractive. Therefore, it is better to put the plant on a light windowsill.

The fat woman loves to take a shower. To do this, wrap the pot in plastic and wash the plant under warm water. As the foliage gets dirty, "coins" are wiped with a soft cloth.

On a note!

At home, it is very difficult to achieve flowering of a fat woman. But during flowering, its beautiful snow-white flowers in a beautiful scattering disintegrate throughout the plant. To make Crassula bloom, you will need to create a dormant period for the flower in the winter. This means that it will have to be kept in a cool but well-lit room. It will be correct to reduce watering.

• Watering

At different times of the year, the plant requires different watering. In winter, watered in moderation, only after the earthen coma has completely dried out. If the fat woman is standing on a cool windowsill and there is no air heating from the batteries, the plant needs to be watered very rarely. In winter, the fat woman rests, so the overflow can contribute to the decay of the horse system.

Summer, spring watering is carried out as needed. But in the fall it is gradually stopped.

• Fertilization

Crassula awakens from hibernation in early March. At this time, fertilizer for cacti is used for feeding.

During the period of active growth, fertilizers are applied once a month, spilling the earth with liquid fertilizers. Plants respond well to mineral fertilizers.

Advice

To prevent the root system from getting burned, all types of fertilizers are applied to the soil only after watering the plant.

Diseases and pests

Root rot is perhaps the most common crassula disease. It manifests itself in the appearance of brown spots on the platinum sheet, in the browning and fall of foliage. The trunk becomes soft at the base, I and the plant can no longer be saved. In order to avoid this, it is required to properly water the fat woman. The plant does not like waterlogged soil, but overdrying will not be beneficial either. Therefore, watering should be moderate, and in winter it should be completely scarce.

The plant does not attract pests. The only insect that can settle on a plant is the whitefly. And then, she damages other plants standing nearby, sometimes she tries to damage the money tree. But since its leaf is too fleshy and leathery, the whitefly leaves the plant. She cannot gnaw through such a dense skin.

How to attract money to your home?

In order for money to flow, the ritual is carried out once a month. You will need to grab the trunk of the plant with one hand and shake it well. The manipulation must be performed 3 times. It is believed that along with the shaking, its monetary energy is released, attracting wealth to the house.

So how to plant a money tree at home? As you can see, there is nothing difficult in growing Crassula. The main thing is that the plant must be grown from a shoot. And then it will not only delight the eye with its beautiful and powerful appearance, but also bring prosperity and money into the house.
