Tolstyanka, money tree, redwood, tree of happiness, it's a tree of love - all these are names of the same plant of the succulent family . Mistresses love him for unpretentious and easy-going temper.

The money tree was called a fat-skin, thanks to the Chinese teachings of feng shui, which claims that the presence of this plant in the house attracts financial success. But this is not all the good properties of the rosules.

First days

You brought the rosula home - immediately determine for it a permanent place. The plant loves light, but a light penumbra is also suitable - the main thing is that the direct sunlight does not fall . High air humidity does not require a thick-skinned - you can not spray it, it will be enough to infrequently water it. If you are going to transplant a flower, do it not earlier than 2-3 weeks after it appears in your house. Soil for succulents is perfect. It is recommended to wipe the leaves of the plant with a damp cloth once every 1-1.5 months.

Watering

In autumn and winter, the maintenance of a money tree is somewhat easier - it needs to be watered about twice as often as in spring and summer. This can be done when the soil in the pot is dry to a depth of two finger phalanges - this is in winter, in spring and summer - the soil can remain slightly moist. The fact is that the reds are much more dangerous than the excess of moisture, than its lack - especially during the autumn-winter period. From the overabundance of water, the flower becomes prone to fungal diseases, from which the leaves turn yellow and fall. If this happens, it is necessary to dry the ground around the root system, pulling it out of the pot, and then treat it with special preparations. In addition, the root system of the rosula is prone to decay, which can not be tolerated - do not overdo it with watering.

Top dressing

Caring for a money tree includes seasonal top dressing. Crassula needs additional nutrition. Year-round. From April to September: enough once a month to feed or universal fertilizer, or special - for succulents and cacti. The rest of the time: the same, but half the concentration. Fertilizer is applied only to wet soil, it means - immediately after watering.

Reproduction and transplantation

Also, caring for a money tree involves periodic transplantation. Crassula needs this once in two years, as it grows rather slowly - gradually increasing in height and width. This will require a special primer for succulents with reliable drainage. The best time for transplant is spring.

Propagates redula leaves, cuttings and seeds. The latter are practically not used, but the rest is very simple. Cuttings are planted in the ground, previously slightly waved. It is possible to preliminarily root the stalk in water, but with this method it is necessary to add activated carbon to the water in order to prevent decay. After rooting cuttings are planted in small, not more than 5 cm in diameter, pots. After - care for the money tree, as an adult.
