Crassula 'Estagnol'

Whether we like it or not, and specialization in the cultivation of succulents in a circuit over time in each collection that will appear as a cultivar. Some specialists, although this fact prevented, but sooner or later the pot with a handsome young plant kultivarového names, they just stuck on the sill. I personally kultivarům not resist, on the contrary. Some types of hybrids are so nice, it is my attempt to get just the given taxon. This is true even if the photo krasulky, Crassula 'Estagnol' = Crassula pyramidalis Crassula x spec.

From first glance the plant shall deliver its spiral poskládanými leaves on thin stems initially upright. Peak rose, growing in diameter to three inches, then adds to the overall robustness of the whole plant. Stem is in proportion to the size of thin sheets, herbal first, the elderly at the base dřevnatějící. Its length can reach more than 10 inches. At such length, however, loses shape and upright under the weight of leaf stalk becomes poléhavým. Therefore it is appropriate, once in a while to zmlazující cut and keep the plant in an upright form. Herbaceous cuttings to root well and within a month of rooting of young plants are in full growth.

Crassula Estagnol not demanding on its growing conditions and can easily be mastered and inexperienced grower. To choose an average planting a small but deep bowl. Substrate should be breathable but not too drying. This krasulka likes moderately moist environment and přeschnutí substrate during the summer heat loses lower leaves that fall off and the cake. On my test at regular watering repeatedly sprinkled leaves. After some time, began to form small rust spots that are just watering at the bottom of the bowl eventually disappeared.

Like all succulents, this letnění loves. The ideal is a place protected from rain, but sunshine should be enough. In the absence of light, the stem begins to stretch and unhealthy plant loses its compactness. Because the plant has maintained moderate growth during the winter season. The habitat should be as the lightest and coolest. Low winter temperatures restrict growth to a minimum and preventing accidental unplugging in the light. Watering during the winter is minimal, more maintenance.

Basically speaking, the Crassula Estagnol has the same requirements as most chladnomilných growing species of the genus Crassula. With retail growth it can be included among the miniatures on kenny sill.
