Crassula lanuginose V.pachystemon is a succulent plant of the family crassulaceae and Chlorophora. Stems thin, leaves, fleshy, oval-ovate, or melon seeds-shaped, edges thin, bulging in the middle, somewhat like small go pieces, opposite, green, new branches and leaves grow between stems and leaves, forming clumps. The whole plant has white hairs, and the hairs on the leaf edges are arranged neatly and neatly, like "eyelashes", which is very charming. When there is sufficient light, less water, and a large temperature difference, the stems and leaves will change color, with a light red in the green. In some cases, the whole will turn red or fuchsia.

Growth habits: like warm, dry and sunny places, resistant to drought and semi-shade, afraid of strong light exposure and wet water. The suitable temperature for growth is 15-25 degrees Celsius, and not less than 5 degrees Celsius in winter.

Maintenance method: except for the maintenance in the sunny place indoors in winter, the rest of the time is spent outside, receiving sufficient light and absorbing fresh air. However, during the plum rain season and rainstorm weather, it is necessary to briefly move indoors to prevent rainstorm flushing or the formation of stagnant water, and at the same time strengthen ventilation. It should be shaded properly when it is hot and bright in summer. Usually water less and more times to prevent excessive dampness and drought.

Maintenance skills

Lighting: David likes the sun very much, but he can't expose himself to the hot sun, especially in summer. He must do a good job of shading. In winter, he can bask in the sun indoors.

Matching soil: David does not have a high demand for soil. He can use rotten leaves and coarse sand to mix well and then use it as basin soil. Another way is to go directly to the florist to buy nutritious soil specially suitable for David. The soil must be loose, breathable, and keep moisture continuously.

Watering: David must be watered after planting, but not much. When watering David, you should pay special attention to watering a small amount of water several times at a time, so as not to water too much at a time or not for a long time. It is necessary to control the amount of watering in summer to avoid succulent roots caused by too much watering, especially in the weather of continuous torrential rain, it must be moved indoors, otherwise it will lead to a lot of water in David's flowerpot.

Fertilization: David has little demand for fertilizer and can not apply fertilizer, but if he wants it to grow faster, he can also choose to go to the florist to buy special fertilizer and follow the instructions.

Diseases and insect pests: like other succulent plants, David rarely has diseases and insect pests, but he still needs early prevention and control and should not be too careless.

Propagation: cuttings. David's growth rate is relatively slow, but it is easier to grow in groups, so it is to propagate by cutting: usually start cutting in spring, take a part of the healthy plant and disinfect it to avoid infection of the incision. what has just been picked should not be cut immediately, but should be placed in a ventilated, dry, warm and sunlit place, and then wait for the wound to produce callus closure before inserting into the matrix. In addition, the cutting substrate needs to choose places with good ventilation, and materials with good drainage performance and moisture retention should be selected, such as perlite vermiculite and so on. After cutting, we need to control the humidity of the substrate, less watering or no watering, depending on the specific situation.
