Indoor Plant Fertiliser (Indoor Plant Fertiliser)

5 from 2 customers

All potted plants require indoor plant fertiliser. This is particularly important as many nurseries only put enough fertiliser in the pots to last 4-8 weeks after you get the plant home. If no further nutrients are added the plant will start a gradual decline in the quality of foliage and flowers. The Plant Company’s Indoor Plant Fertiliser is placed around the top of the plant pot and will release nutrients every time the plant is watered.

What is Cactus Crassula?

Cactus crassula generally refers to several varieties of the Crassula genus that exhibit a cactus-like appearance, characterised by upright, stacked, or angular leaves. These succulents are well-suited to New Zealand's varied climates, thriving in both indoor and outdoor settings. Their adaptability and tolerance to forgetful watering make them perfect for busy plant parents. With eye-catching foliage that ranges from jade green to vibrant reds, these plants are sure to catch your attention. Popular varieties include the iconic Crassula Buddhas Temple, vibrant Crassula capitella Campfire, and the compact Crassula montana.

How to Grow and Care for Cactus Crassula

Caring for cactus crassula is refreshingly simple. These succulents prefer well-draining soil, and a spot where they can bask in bright, indirect sunlight. Water only when the soil is completely dry to mimic their native environment and prevent rot. During the winter months, reduce watering and keep the plant in a warm area. Fertilise lightly in spring and summer for best performance.

Propagation is easy—simply take a leaf or stem cutting, allow it to callus, then place it in succulent mix. In no time, your cactus crassula will root and form new growth.
