Crassula falcata Propagation and Mealybug Control: Stem Cuttings and Natural Predators

Propeller Plant Propagation

  • Stem cuttings (3–4 inches), callus 3–5 days.
  • Plant in gritty mix; keep lightly moist until rooted.
  • Leaf cuttings also work but slower.
  • Pot rotation doesn't affect geometry; light direction does.

Mealybug IPM

  1. Manual removal (alcohol swabs).
  2. Parasitic wasps (Leptomastix) — biological control.
  3. Neem oil / insecticidal soap.
  4. Soil drench for root mealies (imidacloprid last resort).
