Sedum is an upright plant with fleshy light green leaves and flowers in various shades of pink.

How to sow sedum

Sedum seeds are sown in March-April at a distance from each other in boxes or containers on the surface of a substrate of garden soil and sand, sprinkled with coarse sand on top, sprayed with water from a spray bottle, covered with glass or film and placed on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator for stratification.

How fast does sedum grow

A common type of groundcover sedum, Sedum acre, forms dense clearings. Creeping raised shoots turn into turf.

How to grow sedum at home

Sedum feels great in absolutely any humidity. To maintain decorativeness, the leaves are periodically wiped to remove dust. There is no need to specially increase the humidity in the room where this succulent is kept, but spraying can be done.

How to fertilize sedum

On average, it is recommended to feed the sedum twice a season. The first time fertilizer should be applied during budding, the second fertilizing with complex mineral fertilizer is carried out after flowering.

How to water sedum

A houseplant sedum during active growth should be watered moderately, but regularly - the soil should dry out at least half between waterings. With the advent of autumn, watering is reduced, and during the dormant period (November-February) they are watered only occasionally so as not to bring the earthen ball to dryness.
