Care Instructions
Sedum ternatum is relatively easy to care for. It prefers bright, indirect light and moderate temperatures. Water the plant when the soil is almost completely dry, and ensure it has good air circulation. It can tolerate average household humidity levels.Soil
Sedum ternatum prefers well-draining loam soil. A mix of potting soil with sand or perlite works well to ensure proper drainage. Avoid waterlogged conditions as this can lead to root rot.Fertilizer
Fertilize Sedum ternatum with a balanced fertilizer, such as 5-10-10, during the growing season. Apply the fertilizer once a month to support healthy growth.Repotting
Repot Sedum ternatum every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage holes. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, shake off excess soil, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil mix.Propagation
Sedum ternatum can be propagated through stem cuttings or division. Take cuttings in the spring or early summer, allow them to callous over for a day or two, and then plant them in well-draining soil. Keep the soil lightly moist until roots develop.Pruning
Prune Sedum ternatum to maintain its shape and remove any dead or damaged leaves. Pruning can be done in the spring or after the flowering period. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears.Toxicity
Sedum ternatum is non-toxic to pets and humans. It is safe to grow in households with animals and children.REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR PLANT CARE
