Fat woman or "Money tree"

Fat woman or money tree. Crassula plant care

Crassula, or Crassula, is a popular houseplant that belongs to the Crassula family. More than 300 species are found in nature. The most common are succulents, annual and perennial herbaceous plants and shrubs.

The fat woman is not whimsical in care and is very popular among flower growers. The "money tree" is found in many homes. In offices, one might say, a necessary attribute, like a hole punch or a kettle.

People believe that the "money tree" has a good sense of the financial situation of the owners and can attract wealth. A lot of attention is paid to this tree in Feng Shui. Where should it be, what kind of ribbon should be tied, and so on. We will leave this question to Feng Shui sites. Let's go back to the plant and consider how to properly care for a flower. After all, if you take care of it incorrectly, then it will wither away, and what a welfare after that!

Caring for a fat woman at home

Caring for a fat woman at home

The fat woman belongs to the genus Crassula. These are the most diverse plants that can be. Even plants for the aquarium belong to this genus. Consider caring for the most popular plant of this genus - the tree-like jerky. The fat woman belongs to succulents. Even a novice florist who does not have any experience in growing indoor plants will not be bothered by caring for a plant.

Location and lighting

Indoors, the fat woman should be placed on the southeast windows, as even Feng Shui recommends. Direct sunlight should be avoided, from this the leaves will turn red, wither and fall off. The leaves of the "money tree" can also fall from lack of fresh air.

In summer, Crassula can be taken out to the balcony, where she will be quite comfortable, besides, fresh air will only benefit. In winter, it is better to transfer the plant to the south side.

Watering a flower

Watering on very hot days should be done twice a week. At normal temperatures, once is enough.

Watering on very hot days should be done twice a week. At normal temperatures, once is enough. Watch the earthen lump carefully, do not let it dry out too much, but do not pour it either. It is very important not to flood the fat woman, and at the same time, so that the earth does not dry out in any way. Perhaps this is the most important moment when caring for Crassula. In winter, the flower needs to be watered even less often - about once every two weeks.

Temperature for the fat woman

In spring and summer, the optimum temperature for keeping the fat woman will be 20-25 degrees. In summer, it is advisable to take Crassula outdoors, the plant needs fresh air. The most suitable temperature in autumn and winter is 15 degrees or less, but not lower than 4 degrees. The fat woman can hibernate at room temperature, but in this case, there is a high probability that her leaves will begin to wither and fall off.

Important! The fat woman should not be placed near batteries and heating appliances.

Plant feeding

You can feed the flower in the summer, twice a month will be enough.

You can feed the flower in the summer, twice a month will be enough. Fertilizer is good for cacti and succulents.The rest of the time, the fat woman needs to be fed only once a month, and the fertilizer concentration should be diluted twice. Top dressing should only be applied to wet soil, so feed the crassula after watering.

Crassula transplant

It is often not recommended to transplant a fat woman. It is necessary to transplant a flower only if it has grown strongly or it is necessary to divide the bush, at least once every 2-3 years. It is best to transplant a fat woman in the spring. For this, ordinary purchased land for cacti and succulents is suitable.

Note! Don't forget to take care of good drainage.

Reproduction of a fat woman

Reproduction of a fat woman

The fat woman propagates by dividing the bush or cuttings and seeds.

Propagation by cuttings

When propagating by cuttings, they are put into water for germinating roots. Charcoal can be added to the water for faster root formation. If desired, cuttings can be immediately rooted in the ground, but it is still better to germinate them first in water. After the cuttings of Crassula give roots, they are planted in small pots with soil from leaf and turf soil, with the addition of sand in equal proportions. Further, pots with small crassulas must be kept at a temperature of 16-18 degrees. Watering is carried out once a day. This is the most common and easiest way to breed a fat woman.

Seed propagation

Seed propagation is less common among gardeners, although the care for germinated seeds is exactly the same as for cuttings.

Blooming fat woman

Blooming fat woman

It turns out that the bastard can bloom, but this phenomenon is quite rare. Even experienced florists cannot always achieve the flowering of the Money Tree. If you have never seen how beautiful white flowers bloom on your plant, then most likely the problem lies in the lack of illumination of the fat woman. Crassula especially often begins to bloom during the period of its active growth.

Crown formation

Crown formation

In order for the fat woman to have a beautiful and decorative look, it is necessary to form its crown. To do this, you need to prune heavily overgrown tree branches. The cut must be carried out so that four leaves remain on the branch.

It is also recommended to carry out pinching, first of all it concerns the top of the crassula. In order for the fat woman to have a beautiful and uniform crown, you need to turn it in different directions towards the light.

Diseases and pests

The fat woman, like other houseplants, is susceptible to attack by parasites. Spider mites, scale insects and mealybugs are especially dangerous.

  • If Crassula is damaged by a spider mite, a barely noticeable cobweb forms on its leaves and stem. In such a situation, a soap solution or medicinal preparations Fufanon, Fitoverm will help.
  • When damaged by a scabbard, yellow and brown spots appear on the leaves. You need to treat a fat woman in the same way as with a spider mite.
  • If the plant is affected by mealybugs, then it is necessary to carry out medical procedures with a solution of laundry soap, and if it does not help, then you need to use insecticides. You can also try to get rid of the worm with a piece of cotton wool dipped in alcohol.

Problems when growing Crassula

Problems when growing Crassula

  • The greatest danger to the fat woman is an excess of moisture. If the soil is too moist, then rotting of the roots and even the base of the trunk is possible.
  • If the fat woman does not have enough moisture, then the leaves in this case may become lethargic.
  • If you water the fat woman with cold water, then the leaves may crumble altogether.
  • Crassula does not tolerate drafts, because of them, leaves can dry up and fall off.
  • It is impossible for direct sunlight to fall on the bottom (base) of the fat woman.

The healing properties of the fat woman

The fat woman according to Chinese feng shui brings good luck and success in financial affairs.In addition, Crassula is a symbol of wealth, it is not for nothing that it is called the Money Tree. But in addition to feng shui, the fat woman has healing properties: it purifies the air, relieves stress and tension, improves microflora, thereby reducing disease-causing formations in the room. All this in general has a positive effect on human health.

        Can you please tell me, we are going to move to the apartment of my husband's deceased grandmother and she has a lot of violets and flowerpots, but I paid attention to the "money tree" I do not sort out in this matter and did not even know its name, but when my mother-in-law offered to take it for myself, I categorically refused, although she never dealt with flowerpots. Some strange feeling that I need this particular flowerpot. I went to read at least its name and saw all your comments here. I'm wondering if I can keep it for myself? My grandmother is no longer there, and my mother-in-law categorically does not want to give it away, even though this is my husband's grandmother's apartment.

    Please help someone! I pinched the fat girl, because I read that it is necessary for bushiness. I "missed" a little, didn't know what was needed, and when I found out, 6 pair of leaves had already grown. So, I pinched it, and the flower let out not 2 pairs of leaves, as it should be, but one, some kind of deformed, not of the usual shape, but of the type of a heart. I don’t know what to do now. The flower grows upward, the stem does not grow stronger, it bends under the weight. Why the trunk does not grow stronger and why such leaves have grown I do not understand. What to do, help, please!

      September 29, 2015 at 17:00 Catherine

      CATHERINE. THE BARREL WILL BECOME HARD WHEN THE ROOT SYSTEM REACHES THE BOTTOM OF THE POT. LOW AND WIDE POTS ARE RECOMMENDED. AND THE DEFORMED (HEART) LEAVES LET'S GROW.

        December 4, 2015 at 06:02 PM Olga

        Thank you for your answer, Olga. Problems again. The tree produced 2 pairs of leaves after repeated pinching. Now the "head" is heavy, but the trunk is not yet strong and the tree bends over. It even fell once. I substitute my wand, but what, this will go on forever? How beautiful in the picture! If you can, tell me.

          Ekaterina, with a lack of lighting and abundant watering, the trunk of a fat woman can stretch out. Move the flower to a lighter spot and reduce watering. Avoid direct sunlight. Watering in winter is carried out 1-2 times every two weeks.

      September 22, 2019 at 00:07 AM Catherine

      If the tree grows at a slope and one-sided, follow the trail. way. When the soil dries well, lift the tree in the flowerpot by the trunk and lower it back, tilting the trunk slightly to the side opposite to the slope. Do not be alarmed, the root system is very compact and difficult to damage. The trunk will be straight and then follow the crown (almost every couple of three days, turn it.) But first, let the branches level out. And about pinching, you need to leave 4 leaves, if only 2 went again, I would again pinch off the shoot in the same place. And with this procedure, it is very important to have sufficient lighting (so as not to stretch out) and to prevent overflow.

    September 15, 2015 at 02:43 PM

The trunk was bent, the leaves became lethargic, and some even dried up and fell off. Do not think, I watered it. So, I read your answer to the account of welfare, that it will go to the one from which you took it, and this is what I thought, maybe let it die, because it is not mine, but give your welfare to someone like that in bastard. I would like to know what you think about this ???

        For a long time I know such a sign / wisdom that indoor flowers need to be stolen for divorce, i.e. without asking, somewhere sprout a leaf gently break off. As for the fat woman, she has been with us all her life, and they gave us shoots, and we shared, but I will not say that something has gone away in abundance. So do not bother, grow with love and everything will be fine.

    My tree grew big, the pot became small, I transplanted a larger one into the pot, but the branches seemed to hang and do not rise, but new shoots appeared on the trunk, which means the tree did not die. But the branches were hanging. What to do?

    • Helena
      November 8, 2015 at 03:11 AM Tatyana

      I also made this mistake. but the fat woman has a very small root system. I saw a very beautifully formed tree 70! years! it was in a small pot! and the trunk occupied 2/3 of the surface of the earth. from my observations, I know that it should be watered sparingly. with abundant and frequent watering, the trunk becomes watery and decays. but when it is very rare, the plant sheds its leaves or they become flabby. so do not get carried away with transplants and overflows. it is a succulent that creates a moisture reserve in the leaves without developing a large root system, does not tolerate transplanting well. try to immediately put the young in a "long-term" vessel. good luck!

    • Denis
      March 8, 2016 at 10:28 PM Natalia

      Natalia, the flower hibernates in winter, therefore, it is quite possible that changes in growth are minimal. Lary already answered you, before planting in the ground, you need to grow the roots in a glass of water. Before the new year, I broke off a twig with several leaves, put it in a 50 ml glass of water, I confess, the roots have grown, but there was no time to buy a pot, soil for cacti, pebbles for drainage. Nevertheless, with a delay, but planted it in the ground, I water it once a week, while watering with a moistened brush for drawing, I wipe the leaves, there is already a result - 2 leaves have appeared and are actively growing.

    Eugene, try watering once a week or even less. The soil must be completely dry before the next watering. If the earthen lump does not dry out completely in 2 weeks, then it should be watered once every two weeks. The fat woman loves light, but does not like direct sunlight, keep her in a lit place, but not in the open sun. Do not forget about the soil, the money tree is planted in the soil intended for cactus, although, in principle, the plant is not demanding on the type of soil, but if you have not transplanted it for a long time or fertilized the soil, the leaves may fall off. The fat woman should be transplanted in the spring.

    P.S. I have a small flower, I was leaving for 2 months, all this time the flower was without watering, nevertheless, upon arrival, instead of 6 leaves, I had 10. So less water and everything will be ok.

    Girls, this is what I read on one of the Feng Shui sites: “If you decide to put a fat woman as a money tree at home, it is advisable to buy it in a store, or even better to cut it off discreetly at a party. »So, who bought the flower, do not worry)) But giving and receiving as a gift is really not good ((

    Hope, never mind prejudice! I also got one of my three fat women when buying a home. There was an almost dry trunk on the kitchen windowsill, only on the top of the head there were 2-3 flabby wrinkled leaves. I could have thrown it out with peace of mind, but decided to try to reanimate. I watered, fed, but without fanaticism - rather to clear my conscience than from high expectations. A month later, new leaves appeared, then side branches, and today, after 7 years, this is a luxurious strong tree with a spreading crown. It pleases the eye and reminds: there are no hopeless situations!
    You can safely buy and accept flowers as a gift, but if you are so superstitious and afraid to give your wealth together with it, you can give away the money tree in exchange for a small bill.

My advice: do not overfeed ... do not touch it again, let them get hungry and water as the soil dries up, and it is VERY important to tell them that they are the most beautiful and beloved!)

        April 8, 2018 at 03:31 PM Svetlana

        Watering is necessary not by day or week, but based on the condition of the soil. What kind of women are they? After all, soup is now salted with spoons, and not tasted! For example, in a week in my apartment in January, there is not something like an earthen lump, but the plant itself without watering will turn into a crouton, and the earth will turn into stone. And in a private house with relatives, even in the summer for 2 weeks, the water does not leave the sump if it is not drained after watering.

      April 8, 2018 at 03:25 PM marina

      It is necessary to turn from time to time for uniform illumination of the crown from all sides. Cut off anything that is strongly tilted and dangling and with the opposite side to the light. New branches will stretch out to grow and the one-sidedness will disappear over time.

      April 8, 2018 at 03:16 PM Nitalia

      It was not necessary to pinch, but it was necessary to pinch, after pinching any plant does not grow up, but begins to branch. How high do you want it to be? Based on this, leave the height of the bole (main trunk) and cut (in a very neglected case, cut) it. Here pity will be just to the detriment. It is necessary to leave the required height, since they did not do it while he was young and small. There is no need to be afraid of the "hemp" (without leaves and branches) of what remains, in a couple of weeks dormant buds will hatch and branches will grow. they also need to be cut over time. or are you waiting for a miracle and the growth of the crown of a tree in a pot? Eh, women ... Nothing can be trusted, especially modern and especially the family hearth ...

    Good day! I have two questions, please tell me.

    1. It became interesting how to take care of a tree, it turned out that it NEEDS a low and wide pot ... And I transplanted two adult trees into pots with a height of 27 cm, the diameter is also large ... Transplant in the spring, today there are a lot of half green twigs ... .e. there is a branch of a tree structure, and continues with a fresh green ...
    What to do next ?? Tomorrow I will break off the branches that grow down ...

    2. When the leaves fall off, I folded them under the trunk, so that the type of trace elements returned to the soil, but many of them germinated + sprouts emerged from the soil, which I did not need in the main pot, I planted them in mini pots in order to distribute to people ... And I'm superstitious, what to do with unnecessary sprouts ??

    Thanks to those who mastered a lot of text, but wanted to convey it correctly in order to get quality answers.

    Girls, I don't really believe in omens, but I always adhere to this, nothing, that is, flowers and plants in general, I never give or take as gifts, but always at least five rubles for sprouts, but I give it away, sort of like buying. And in general, the plants take root well if the sprout is quietly pulled off. But this is possible, only with those that reproduce by leaves or twigs, and it is also advisable to talk to them, and a couple of times I even threatened flowers that did not grow for a long time that I would throw them out, if they stay like that, so after that they started much grow faster, but this should not be done in winter, because many plants hibernate in autumn and winter.

    Good evening everyone! I ask for your help! Someone threw a fat woman on the trash site, very beautiful, branched and about 50-60 cm tall. The trunk is thick (7-8 cm) branched. I washed all the dust off the leaves with a brush. It can be seen at the root already thick branches have been cut down and on the crown. The pot is small. Around the trunk it is slightly covered with greenish moss. Can you carefully peel off the top layer of earth and sprinkle with new? I'm afraid to harm the tree. My son-in-law took it and gave it to me in the office. there is nowhere to put at home. I love flowers very much and always buy them from grandmothers on the street and “steal” them. Is it possible to transplant it into a larger pot or wait until spring?

    Hello! I have had a fat woman for about 12 years, the plant is strong, beautiful, but this summer small dry brown spots appeared on the green (not yet lignified) parts of the shoots (they do not look like a scabbard at all, they are flat, nothing bad is noticeable when scraping under them). In summer and autumn, there were ticks, quite a lot, but they did not have time to weave a web. I removed all those I noticed. There are more and more stains. The leaves are mostly healthy. True, now the lower leaves began to turn yellow on several stems at the same time (and in fact, normally they should die off one by one, right?).
    The window is south-western, I water it once a week very moderately (I do not water it for sure). Unfortunately, there are temperature jumps, since the room is usually very warm, and frosty air rushes in during ventilation.
    Can you please tell me if all these stains need to be scraped off by hand?
    Respectfully,
    George.
