This succulent can withstand very high humidity levels. But if the humidity level is very high, you may have to adjust the watering frequency slightly, watering a little less often, in order to compensate for the high humidity. To maintain a lower humidity level during the winter months when the plant is dormant, you may want to install a dehumidifier. If you are planting your Lepismium Cruciforme in containers, it is essential that the containers should have good drainage holes at the bottom, in order for excess water to drain away. It may seem like you are saving time and avoiding the hassle of repotting your succulents later. If you’re looking for a cost-effective way to plant succulents in your home and are willing to invest some time and effort, you might consider growing your own from seeds. Succulents, in particular, should be repotted with great caution, as their roots tend to be fairly fragile and delicate. You may also notice that the tops are visible above the soil at their base.
Watering your ice plant outdoors is important during the summer months. During the dormant winter months, this can be reduced to only once a week. You can move the plant to a cooler room where there is less sunlight during winter. Use a sterilized cutting tool to avoid spreading any infection in the plant membranes. When watering your cuttings, use a spray bottle, but be careful not to knock down the cutting as this may break the roots trying to grow. After the cutting is established, water it every 2-3 days. It is easier for a succulent to be revived if it has not been adequately watered. However, too many water can lead to the death of this species. It will die if it doesn’t get enough water. Many of them usually slide into hibernation mode when they are not receiving enough light or water, which helps them survive drought conditions and extremely hot weather. This is usually caused by sun damage. To prevent discoloration, you need to immediately reduce your light levels. My experience is that younger plants require more water than larger, more mature plants. This is because they have more water storage and beads.
Budha’s flowers thrive in moist environments, so it is vital to have excellent drainage soil. It allows water to run freely through the soil, providing good drainage for the plant. Kalanchoe Longiflora Coccinea can be planted in a container that has drainage holes to let excess water run off. Your Lepismiumcruciforme plants should be placed in pots with good drainage holes to let excess water run off. This is the time to move your Lepismium Cruciforme to a warmer room that gets more natural light. Lepismium Cruciforme’s water requirements are similar to its light requirements. If it is outdoors, it should be in a place where it can receive light shade and a few hours of sun in the morning. In fact, research shows that the desert acacia thrives more during the hot, dry summer months compared to the slightly wetter winters.
The ideal temperature for the Lepismium Cruciforme to thrive is between 60deg-75deg during its growing period, in the summer months. You should wait until summer if your area experiences very cold winters before you start cutting. Some plants, like the Christmas Cactus Epiphyllum and Jade, require cold nights to flower. I water my outdoor plants once every two weeks during winter. These are the plants that you place in your home. You water them once in a while and then let them take care of themselves. Many people associate succulents with drought-resistant plants. They can also be called desert plants. Lepismiumcruciforme, like many succulents, is susceptible to mealybug infestation. While most cactus pictures and names plants only need 6 hours of direct sunshine per day, it will not be sufficient for Lepismium Cruciforme. While there are beneficial insects that help the ecosystem, there are also invasive insects that can invade your plants and infect your entire collection.
Stem cuttings from a healthy Lepismiumcruciforme are the easiest and best way to propagate this species. Start the division at the intersection of the stem and root. In early spring, buds will develop once the plant has emerged from its dormant state. As it begins to emerge from dormancy, spring will see it need more water.

To read more about how to keep your succulents alive in pots without holes, visit my post “How to Grow Succulents in Pots Without Drainage Holes”. The best type of pots to use are either ceramic or plastic pots. To protect your hands while handling the plant, either use thick gardening gloves of high quality or an old towel. Crassula Ovata, a Crassula Ovata “Gollum Jade” plant, is very similar to Crassula Ovata “Hobbit” plant. Both names were taken from JRR Tolkien’s writings.
