DETAILS

Care Instructions
Sedum mendozae requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It thrives in moderate temperatures and prefers low humidity. Water the plant sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. This succulent is relatively low-maintenance and can adapt to indoor and outdoor environments.
Soil
Sedum mendozae prefers well-draining, sandy soil. A cactus or succulent mix is ideal. Ensure the soil dries out completely between waterings to prevent root rot. Good drainage is essential for the health of this plant.
Fertilizer
Fertilize Sedum mendozae with a balanced, low-nitrogen fertilizer such as 2-4-4 during the growing season. Apply the fertilizer sparingly, as succulents do not require heavy feeding.
Repotting
Repot Sedum mendozae every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its container. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its current pot, shake off excess soil, and place it in the new pot with fresh, well-draining soil.
Propagation
Propagate Sedum mendozae through stem or leaf cuttings. Allow the cuttings to dry and callous for a few days before planting them in well-draining soil. Water sparingly until new growth appears.
Pruning
Prune Sedum mendozae to maintain its shape and remove any dead or damaged leaves. Pruning can be done throughout the growing season. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears to make clean cuts.
Toxicity
Sedum mendozae is not toxic to pets or humans. However, it is always best to keep plants out of reach of pets and children to prevent any accidental ingestion.
