About Crassula Shrek's Ear
Crassula Shrek's Ear, also known as Crassula Ovata Gollum, is a plant native to South Africa. Its leaves curl inwards and are typically green with red edges. It resembles the appearance of Shrek's ears.
How to care for Crassula Shrek's Ear
Sun/Temperature: Crassula Shrek's Ear prefers a warm and sunny environment and is not frost-tolerant, although it can tolerate partial shade. Insufficient sunlight may cause its leaves to elongate and become loose, so it's best placed in a sunny location. During summer, shading is necessary to prevent sunburn. When temperatures drop in winter, they should be moved indoors promptly, as long as temperatures remain above 40°F.
Soil/Watering: Crassula Shrek's Ear prefers loose, well-draining, acidic soil such as leaf mold or peat soil. You can also prepare slightly acidic potting soil, but avoid using alkaline soil directly. During the high temperatures of summer, it enters dormancy, during which watering should be reduced or suspended. In other growing seasons, water is sparingly, ensuring no water stagnation. Employing the soak and dry watering method and using weakly acidic water for regular watering is advisable.
Diseases: Softening of Crassula Shrek's Ear leaves may be due to root issues or insufficient light and moisture. If it's not a root problem, relocate the plant to a brighter spot and check the soil for dryness. If the soil is dry, water thoroughly. If root issues persist, move the plant to a cooler, well-ventilated location.
Propagation: For higher success rates, Crassula Shrek's Ear is typically propagated through stem cuttings. Cut a healthy, fleshy stem segment, let it dry to form a callus, then plant it in moist soil and wait for rooting before transplanting it into a pot.
Fertilization: Crassula Shrek's Ear has moderate fertilizer requirements, with organic fertilizer applied monthly during its growth period.
