Crassula recurva - Jade plant

continental : These plants prefer a sunny location, where they can enjoy direct solar rays even throughout the whole day,
These plants don't feel endangered by the cold weather, therefore they are grown as garden plants.

alpine : Let's grow the the Crassula recurva in a sunny place, with direct solar light.
The Crassula recurva is a garden plant, which doesn’t need to be protected during the hotter months.

mediterranean : Plant which needs a few hours a day of solar light.
Let’s plant the the Crassula recurva in the garden, because it’s a garden plant, which can stand the cold.

continental : During this time of year very frequent watering is advised, even daily if the climate is very hot and dry; let’s try to keep the soil cool and damp. Irrigate every 1-2 weeks, during the evening or morning hours.

alpine : The Crassula recurva should be watered regularly, to maintain the substratum slightly damp using 3-4 glasses of water; if the climate is very hot and there are scarce precipitations it might be necessary to water every 2-3 weeks, or more often than that.

mediterranean : We suggest watering often, trying to keep the soil slightly damp with 5-6 glasses of water, but avoiding excesses; the forming of water stagnations also harm those plants which love wetness, usually the frequency of watering is every 0-1 weeks.

Feed Crassula recurva : In this period of the year fertilizations will be regular, using a specific fertilizer for succulent plants, rich in potassium and poor in nitrogen; a regular use of fertilizers favours a healthy development of the plants and an abundant flowering. We suggest avoiding excesses and fertilizing every 15-20 days.

Adversity Crassula recurva : In the summer the parasite which worries us most is the cochineal, which develops itself very rapidly with the dry climate, on stems, leaves and often even on the roots of the plants. We can quickly kill the cochineals applying a mineral oil based treatment.
