Crassulas

Post by iann »

These two Crassulas are very similar and subtly different. Both were suggested to be C. capensis, but I think they're both C. saxifraga. The flowers should be open in about a month.

Has that growth appeared before you've watered Ian? Did you leave them dry through summer?

No signs of any growth on mine yet but I'm always at least a couple of weeks later with conos so expect these are much the same.

My C. saxifraga have had two good inundations and are at about the same stage as Ian's. I think that they have emerged several weeks earlier than normal perhaps because of the heat wave followed by <10C nights.

So do I water them before seeing growth or wait until......I already see growth on nemorosa so watered those a bit.

They were completely dry over summer, but have been soaked now. Water or not, they always seem to send up stalks about this time, reminding me if I haven't watered already.
