Crassula, or as it is also called the money tree, refers to succulents. This plant is quite unpretentious, looks original, somewhat reminiscent of a bonsai.
What is the difference between a fat woman? Home care for this plant comes down to timely watering and top dressing. It is not very demanding on temperature conditions. Flowers are a fat girl, the care of which is very simple, in the winter they like to be away from batteries and heating devices. Too dry air can cause the leaves to fall, as well as their drying.
As for lighting, the fat girl prefers a bright place with bright but diffused light.
But if we talk about watering, then you need to be extremely careful with it and not flood the plant, since the roots can rot very quickly even in a plant such as a houseplant flower.
Care and rules when watering are simple: water only when the topsoil dries to a depth of about 4 cm.
Crassula, like all houseplants, needs additional nutrition, especially during the period of active growth. Universal fertilizers are suitable for her, you need to feed the flower about once a month.
The fat girl (leaving her at home does not require creating a special atmosphere) loves a warm shower. A very useful procedure in which dust and dirt are removed from the leaves.
This plant should be replanted annually. Given that the root system of the fat woman is rather poorly developed, it is better to use a wide shallow pot. The crassula, which is very easy to care for at home, is transplanted by transplantation to prevent damage to the roots.
For this plant, pruning plays a very important role. Without it, something formless and unprepossessing can grow. Typically, the crown of a plant is formed by pinching the upper kidney. Due to this, lateral shoots begin to grow, and a small neat tree is formed. Any slice must be processed, sprinkled with charcoal.
The fat woman, which is properly maintained at home, blooms very often. True, the flowers are barely noticeable and plain.
Money tree is quite resistant to various diseases, but can sometimes be attacked by a pest such as scale insects. It is not difficult to get rid of this insect, it is enough to treat the affected plant with a soap solution.
Money tree gets along well with other plants. It looks good in group compositions. Since the plant is unpretentious in the summer, it is often used in the design of artificial ponds. In addition, these flowers are just perfect for offices that give a more finished look.
This houseplant is divided into several types: tree-like (can grow up to 1 meter high); tetrahedral (resembles a shrub in appearance); blooming (refers to shrubs, mainly used in the design of greenhouses); portulanic, or ovoid.
