Indoor Care Guidelines:
Light:
Place your Crassula Capitella 'Campfire' in a location with bright, indirect sunlight. A south or west-facing window is ideal.
If your succulent is not receiving enough light, the vibrant colors may fade.
Temperature:
Maintain indoor temperatures between 60-80°F (15-27°C).
Avoid exposing the plant to temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
Watering:
Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
Water approximately once every 2-3 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) and reduce the frequency in the dormant season (fall and winter).
Soil:
Use a well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix to prevent waterlogged roots.
Repot your Crassula Capitella 'Campfire' when it outgrows its current pot.
Fertilization:
Feed your succulent with a balanced, diluted, liquid succulent fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season.
Pruning:
Trim any dead or damaged leaves with clean, sharp scissors to maintain a neat appearance.
Pests and Diseases:
Keep an eye out for mealybugs, spider mites, and aphids, which can occasionally affect succulents. Treat any infestations promptly.
