How to care for Crassula ovata 'Hobbit' in summer? These precautions you need to master

Hearing the name Crassula ovata 'Hobbit', you might think it refers to two kinds of plants, but actually it is one, and moreover it is a lovely succulent. The leaves of this succulent look like a tube, with a round hole at the opening, looking very peculiar. Is it hard to grow plants in summer? How should Crassula ovata 'Hobbit' be cared for? What precautions should be taken!

We can plant it by cuttings. When choosing potting soil, we should choose acidic soil, mix in some rotted leaves, and if conditions permit, we can also add some organic fertilizer, so that Crassula ovata 'Hobbit' can have enough nutrients in the early stage of growth.

1. If our soil is not acidic enough, we can improve it by watering. Put some table vinegar in the water, but not too much, weak acidity is enough, and then use it for watering. However, when we water, we need to pay attention to whether the potting soil has dried out completely. We must observe first before watering.

2. As for fertilizing Crassula ovata 'Hobbit', we can do it during the growing period. The fertilizer concentration must not be too high. We should dilute it with water before using it for fertilizing. Some friends may think that since the fertilizer is diluted, won't the fertilizer amount be insufficient, and then fertilizing won't achieve the effect? Of course not. We can meet the nutrients needed by Crassula ovata 'Hobbit' through multiple fertilizations. We can also choose to fertilize at the beginning or end of the month.

For succulents, summer care requires more effort, because in summer succulents are prone to dormancy due to excessively high growing temperatures, and care is relatively more difficult. However, we need to understand the habits of succulents. After entering summer, we should pay attention to avoiding strong light exposure, and also ensure ventilation and cooling. When watering, pay attention to the time, generally early in the morning or after the sun sets, so that the water temperature will not be too hot and will be close to room temperature. Then we need to control water, because in summer they are dormant and do not need much water. Be very careful not to overwater, because this will cause water accumulation in the pot, causing the roots to rot from soaking, and then they can no longer be cared for. Only in this way can we help succulents get through summer steadily.
