Despite the fact that this plant is not very whimsical, it is important to follow certain rules for caring for it. Particular attention should be paid to watering the fat woman.
Instruction manual
1
Water the plant as the earthen coma dries. In the summer, this should be done every two or three days. Carefully touch the earth in a pot, if it is still wet, then you do not need to water it, if the earth has dried out, then pour it with a small amount of water.
2
Do not water the money tree too often in the fall. At this time, it is enough to water once or twice a week. It is necessary to gradually prepare the plant for the rest period. In winter, a fat girl is recommended to be watered even less often, once every two to three weeks is enough.
3
Do not let the gulf of the plant. Abundant watering contributes to the rapid decay of the roots and falling leaves. To ensure that water flows freely into the pan, make sure that there are small holes in the bottom of the pot, and also lay drainage on the bottom with an even layer. This will allow the water flows not to stagnate.
4
Do not water the fat girl with water from the water supply. Draw water a few days before watering and leave it in bottles for a day so that it settles.
5
Do not forget from time to time to wipe and spray the leaves of the Crassula from the spray bottle. An ideal option to arrange your tree a warm shower. In the summer, carry out this procedure once a week, and in the winter once a month. To do this, take the plant to the bath, turn on the shower and adjust the temperature of the water. It should not be too hot, but should not be cold. Make sure that water falls on the leaves and trunk of the plant, but does not fall into the pot on the ground. For this, the ground can be covered with ordinary cling film. Do not place the wet plant immediately in its place, but let the water drain a little.
6
Do not place your plant in direct sunlight. The sun dries the top layer of the earth, but does not reach the bottom, as a result of which you think that the earth has dried out and water the fat girl, and the water accumulates near the roots and begins to contribute to their partial, and sometimes complete decay.
