Care Instructions
Golden Sedum is relatively easy to care for. It thrives in bright, direct sunlight and prefers moderate temperatures. Water the plant sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. It can tolerate low humidity levels, making it suitable for indoor environments.Soil
Golden Sedum prefers well-draining soil, such as a sandy or cactus mix. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot. Ensure the soil dries out almost completely between waterings to mimic its natural arid habitat.Fertilizer
Fertilize Golden Sedum sparingly with a balanced succulent fertilizer, such as a 2-4-4 N-P-K ratio, during the growing season. Over-fertilization can harm the plant, so it's best to apply fertilizer once a month or less frequently.Repotting
Repot Golden Sedum when it outgrows its current container, typically every 2-3 years. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, shake off excess soil, and place it in the new pot with fresh, well-draining soil.Propagation
Golden Sedum can be easily propagated through leaf or stem cuttings. Allow the cuttings to dry for a day or two to form calluses before planting them in well-draining soil. Water sparingly until new growth appears.Pruning
Pruning is not typically required for Golden Sedum. However, you can trim leggy growth or remove dead leaves to maintain its shape and appearance. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears for best results.Toxicity
Golden Sedum is non-toxic to pets and humans. It is safe to have around children and animals, making it a great choice for households with pets.REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR PLANT CARE
