Today I took off the heads of C. pseudohemisphaerica, whew that is a big word. This is a species of Crassula that clusters. I spayed them really well with Safer's to clean off any possible mealies that I couldn't see. Then I got my pots of soil ready, 3" pots were used, all I did was tap the bottom of the pot on the table to settle, and press my little cluster of leaves gently on the soil I had left approximately an 1/2" stem. These stems are extremely succulent. Top-dressed the top with gravel, this will help hold the plant in when I water.
The trick is the followin: Do not water until you see the roots starting to form. This is a good rule when you propagate the Crassula species. This is a winter grower and will be ready for the Huntington Garden Sale the weekend after mothers day. You must watch for mealies with this species. Norma
