Sedum laxum, commonly known as Roseflower Stonecrop, is a succulent perennial native to the temperate regions of North America. It belongs to the Crassulaceae family and is known for its fleshy leaves and star-shaped flowers. This plant is well-suited to rock gardens and can tolerate poor soil conditions. It undergoes a dormancy period during the winter months.
Sedum laxum 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 thrives in low humidity environments and can be grown both indoors and outdoors.
土壤
Sedum laxum prefers well-draining loam soil. It can tolerate poor soil conditions but thrives best in a moderately nutrient-rich environment. Ensure the soil dries out almost completely between waterings to prevent root rot.
肥料
Fertilize Sedum laxum with a balanced fertilizer, such as 2-4-4, during the growing season. Apply the fertilizer sparingly, as over-fertilization can harm the plant.
换盆
Repot Sedum laxum every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current container. Choose a pot with good drainage and use a well-draining soil mix. Handle the plant gently to avoid damaging its fleshy leaves.
传播
Sedum laxum can be easily propagated through stem or leaf cuttings. Take cuttings during the growing season, allow them to callous over for a few days, and then plant them in well-draining soil. Keep the soil lightly moist until new growth appears.
修剪
Prune Sedum laxum to maintain its shape and remove any dead or damaged leaves. Pruning can be done during the growing season. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears to make clean cuts.
毒性
Sedum laxum 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.
