🌿 Crassula Capitella ‘Campfire’ Care Guide

Crassula capitella ‘Campfire’ earns its name honestly. With plenty of sunshine, the foliage can develop rich green, orange and red tones, creating a lovely little succulent display.

☀️ Light

• Give it very bright light.
• Several hours of gentle direct sunshine can help bring out stronger colour.
• Increase direct sun gradually if the plant has been grown in lower light.
• A bright south or west-facing window can work well.

💧 Water

• Let the soil dry completely before watering.
• Water thoroughly and allow it to drain freely.
• Don’t water again until the mix has dried out.
• Use considerably less water during winter.

🌫️ Humidity

• Average indoor humidity is perfectly suitable.
• It doesn’t need additional humidity.
• Good ventilation is more useful than a humid environment.

🍽️ Feeding

• Feed lightly through spring and summer.
• Use a diluted cactus or succulent fertiliser.
• Avoid heavy feeding, which can encourage softer growth.

🌱 Quick Tips

• More light generally means stronger colour.
• Use a gritty, free-draining mix.
• Don’t let water collect around the base.
• Remove damaged leaves as needed.
• Give the plant plenty of space and light rather than constantly moving it.
