Crassula Gollum’s leaf characteristics are closely related to light conditions. During the spring, autumn, and winter seasons when there is ample sunlight, the tips of the leaves gradually deepen in color, transitioning from pale yellow to red and then to a deep red, while the rest of the leaf remains green, emitting a waxy luster. Therefore, sufficient light is key to maintaining the vibrant colors of Crassula Gollum’s leaves.

Temperature and water are also significant factors affecting the health and color of Crassula Gollum’s leaves. The plant thrives at temperatures between 18-25°C and is not cold-tolerant, requiring no less than 5°C in winter. It is drought-resistant, requiring more water during the vigorous growth period to keep the soil moist.Appropriate misting for cooling in summer and reduced watering in winter are crucial for maintaining the leaf’s vitality and color.

Soil nutrients and environmental stress also impact the leaves of Crassula Gollum. The plant prefers fertile soil and should be fertilized once a month during its vigorous growth period. Soil nutrient content can affect the functional traits of plant leaves. Additionally, when plants are subjected to environmental stress, the organic matter used for growth decreases, and the plant’s secondary metabolites increase, which may result in stunted growth. Thus, fertile soil and proper management of environmental stress are essential for maintaining the healthy growth and leaf characteristics of Crassula Gollum.
