HOW TO GROW COLORFUL CRASSULA capitella ’CAMPFIRE’
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Crassula capitella ’Campfire’ is a very colorful succulent when stressed. Some of you might have purchased this variety because you were attracted to its vibrant red color. This plant, no matter how colorful, can slowly revert back to green when not exposed to direct sunlight, planted on rich soil, and watered frequently.
In this video, you’ll find out the different shades of crassula campfires growing in our garden. After watching this video, you'll be able to figure out the different factors that might have caused your crassula campfire to lose its crimson color if in case you have one that reverted to green. You can also apply the lessons you learned from this video to your other succulents in order to make them more colorful.

very informative. Straight to the point to explain well the detail 😍
I purchased this plant 4 months ago and couldn’t find much information or the name, plant was just sold as a succulent. Thank you, now I know the name of my plant and it’s care. Great succulent teacher.

Is it after pray alcohol does we need water again
I just got one of these. It's very small, and it tipped over onto its side under the grow light for a day or two. Half of it turned red on the underside of the leaves, and I just thought that was so neat! It's upright once again and the color is evening out, getting more intense every day. I love it so much. It was $2.50 very well spent. Thanks for this information. I'll know not to worry if it turns green when I up pot it.
I happened to re-pot a container of succulents today, and I was using four of these crassula capitella plants that were grown from the cuttings. Love your collection of succulents.

I live in Southern California and planted the crassula in full sun and barren soil (only found out later the soil was infertile). I actually didn’t know it does best in these conditions. It looks very happy!

Hello Theresa, this is Phialin. I just begun with succullents for about 5 months now. I am very new to this and I'd like to say, how I've fallen in love with cactus. I used to live in Tucson, but the Saguaros and barrell cactus were too prickly for me --I had a bad experience before when we lived in White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico. I love plants...any plants! (I am from Kawit Cavite, Philippines. Actually Barrio Binakayan. I was born and raised there.) This is very different. Cactus. I am on the creative side like you and I am loving and living your days. The Difference is, I do not have much to work on and I've spent money that I didn't have. I have a friend Thelma from Fremont and she gave me cuttings I don't know what to do with. BUT I leaned so much during this past 2 months. I already bought rocks, sand, potting soil, perlite, and red rocks for the landlord's front yard. I am helping her beautify her front lawn. I really feels great! Now, if you don't know I have a bad back L4-L5, L5-S1. so I do it very slowly. A few hours a day when the sun has gone. I do about a good 4 -5 hours limping and crawling. Hahahaha. But i love doing this. I got help. My friend help me with the bags of soil and rocks. I hired a man at Home Depot parking lot to unload the rocks and soil. I even went to a huge rocks store in Fremont to get more --it's inexpensive doing it this way.
What a great video! Thank you, Teresa, for the whole story about Crassula capitalis. Now I know what the plant is trying to tell me when it turns green. The treatment for mites is very helpful, too. Thank you. 🌱🌱🌱🌞
I love my crassula capetilla Campfire. Love it when it turns red. Thank you for always sharing your knowledge with us. Thank you Dr. Succulent. ❤

Great and informative video! Just bought your succulent cuttings online for my Mother's birthday, I know she'll love them!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I just ordered another box of your beautiful cuttings. Couldn't resist hitting the send button and placing my order again because the one I received last week is so pretty and all are living and some are already rooting. Rather spend $35.00 on your colorful and unusual varieties than waste that money on 2 or 3 plants at the store that may not even live. Tks for making them available. Hope you have some more types ready to include but who cares I will still be excited when i open.❤🌸

Love the sedum, Haworthias and Crassulas. I believe that Crassulas were named from Crassus --an Emperor from Rome during Julius Caesar's reign. Or Octavian. It sounded from one of my Roman Civilization class back in college. I have Crassula Campfire.
Thank you for the tips! It matches from what I observed also. Mine got mealybugs and still recovering. Looks like mealybugs can hide in the roots too.

Liked and Subscribed! I just brought home a Crassula Campfire. I had no idea what it was until I took a picture and my iPhone identified her. I'm nervous as I do not have a yard to plant her outside, is she okay inside in front of a window? I sure hope so, otherwise, she will have to be planted at my Aunty's house 🤣

As long as there is enough light by the window, it should be fine.
Hi Maam, i just wanted to ask, if the leaves looks limp, and they reverted back to green, does it mean its overwatered? Thank you! Much love from MNL! 💓
how do you propagate the small plant growth on the long stems?
This has been the least challenging leaf to propagate for me they grow very wild even when the leafs that look sick the sprout roots
I live in the US!!!😃
recently purchased a crassula from a local nursery. initially the leaves were densely packed, after about a week or so they all seemed to grow taller and less dense. wonder what I'm doing wrong. I do keep it inside near a east window. ( I'm located in Vacaville California. Zone 9 I think) I purchased a grow light bulb (daylight spectrum) and I wait till dry before watering. what do you think?
Can you please do a video on Crassula baby necklace or jade necklace?
Will it survive outside in frost?. It gets below 32 in the winter here!
Teresa I enjoy your videos. I always learn something. I really like the examples of whatever topic you're doing. I also want you to know that the cuttings I've gotten from you are doing well. This summer will be my first since expanding my succulent collection. I'm hoping to plant some in my garden but I'm a bit nervous about it. The Houston area is challenging with certain succulent types. Between our heat, humidity and rain succulents are challenged often. Crossing my fingers. 😉

What do you do with the flower portion? I happened to buy a succulent. Come to find out it is the flower portion of this plant and I dont know what to do with it. Should I propagate seeds once it dries or will it grow into another plant?
Please may I ask what is the name of the plant with red leaves and white flowers at 6:26 of the video? Thank you!
Good morning I have heard about forcing sacculents to produce more and more babies. Can you please tell us the correct technique.

Hello. I enjoy your videos very much and am learning a lot from them also. I live in the high desert in Victorville, Ca., where the temperatures in the desert can get into the triple digits and am reluctant to stick my succulents out in the sun. They are all in pots and the rear of my home faces the south. They are all lanky because they are all reaching for the sun and none of them have vibrant colors because I'm Scared 😱 to kill my succulents.

These plants are native to arid places where they are exposed to sun all day. They have ways to protect themselves. To safely expose them, it has to be done gradually.

Anuenue in order for them to get used to the heat of the sun, they need to be constantly exposed. Moving them in and out is not good. Do not start exposing them to the sun when it ha very hot. Protect them instead.

I've noticed that if you search "crassula capitella" you'll get campfire, red pagoda, shark tooth, etc. But these are all still classified as "capitella" even though they look vastly different. Does anyone have any input on this? Surely a campfire cannot be the exact same as a red pagoda
@ChopstickandSucculents

Lon Lon yes, they are not the same. This is Campfire. The red Pagoda is closely stacked and the leaves are smaller and pointed.Theres another capitella ‘ Red dragon’ that is trailing ang the leaves look like red pagoda but stacked in different way and with shades of purple.
