Crassula 'Mihara'

Morphological Characteristics of Crassula 'Mihara'

Crassula 'Mihara' is a succulent in the Crassula genus of the Crassulaceae family. The plant grows in clusters with small branches, and over time the stems gradually become semi-woody. The fleshy leaves range from grayish-green to light green, with slightly red leaf margins. In late autumn and early spring, when the temperature difference is large, the red color becomes especially pronounced.

Growth Habits of Crassula 'Mihara'

Crassula 'Mihara' prefers a sunny, dry and cool environment. It grows in cool seasons and goes dormant in high temperatures, making it a typical winter-growing type.

Crassula 'Mihara' can tolerate low temperatures of around -2°C, which refers to indoor temperatures, not outdoor conditions. At lower temperatures, the growing points at the leaf tips will suffer frost damage, dry up and die, but new side branches will sprout again from the withered areas the following year.

Propagation Methods of Crassula 'Mihara'

Crassula 'Mihara' is generally propagated by beheading. Select healthy branches with growing points, cut a 3~5 cm section, let the wound dry, and then insert it directly for cuttings.
