Care Instructions
Sedum makinoi is relatively easy to care for. It prefers bright, direct sunlight and moderate temperatures. Water the plant sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings. It can tolerate average household humidity levels and does not require high humidity.Soil
Sedum makinoi prefers well-draining soil, such as a loam-based mix. Ensure the soil has good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. A cactus or succulent soil mix can also be used.Fertilizer
Fertilize Sedum makinoi with a balanced fertilizer, such as a 2-4-4 N-P-K formula, during the growing season. Apply the fertilizer sparingly, as succulents do not require heavy feeding. Once a month during the growing season is sufficient.Repotting
Repot Sedum makinoi every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current container. 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 soil.Propagation
Sedum makinoi can be easily propagated through stem cuttings or leaf cuttings. Take cuttings during the growing season, allow them to callous over for a day or two, and then plant them in well-draining soil. Keep the soil lightly moist until new growth appears.Pruning
Pruning is not typically required for Sedum makinoi. However, you can trim back any leggy or overgrown stems to maintain a compact shape. Prune during the growing season for best results.Toxicity
Sedum makinoi is non-toxic to pets and humans. It is safe to grow in households with animals and children.REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR PLANT CARE
