Care Instructions

Light Requirements

Crassula capitella ‘Campfire’ thrives in full sun, needing at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. It can also tolerate partial shade but will exhibit its best color and compact growth in bright light.

Soil and Potting

Use a well-draining soil mix designed for succulents or cacti. A combination of potting soil with perlite or coarse sand works well to prevent water pooling around the roots. Ensure pots have drainage holes to avoid root rot.

Watering

Follow the “soak and dry” method for watering:

• Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry.
• During the growing season (spring and summer), water every 1 to 2 weeks.
• In winter, reduce watering frequency as the plant enters dormancy.

Temperature and Humidity

Campfire Crassula prefers moderate temperatures between 50°F to 80°F (10°C to 27°C). It is not frost-hardy, so protect it from temperatures below 30°F (-1°C). This succulent thrives in low humidity environments.

Fertilization

Fertilize sparingly during the growing season with a diluted cactus fertilizer once a month. Avoid fertilizing during winter when the plant is dormant.

Propagation

Crassula capitella ‘Campfire’ can be easily propagated through:

1. Stem Cuttings: Take healthy stem cuttings and allow them to callous for a few days before planting in well-draining soil.
2. Offsets: The plant produces small offsets that can be gently pulled away from the main plant and replanted.

Common Issues

• Pests: Watch for pests such as mealybugs and aphids. Treat infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
• Diseases: Overwatering is the primary concern for this succulent, leading to root rot. Ensure proper watering techniques are followed.
