Plant Care
- Light: Sedum album prefers full sun to part shade. It thrives in bright sunlight and may develop vibrant colors under intense light.
- Watering: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. These plants are drought-tolerant and prefer well-draining soil to prevent waterlogged conditions.
- Soil: Use a well-draining, sandy soil mix. Sedum album prefers slightly alkaline soil and is well-suited to rocky or gravelly soils.
- Temperature: This sedum variety is hardy and can tolerate a range of temperatures. It thrives in cooler temperatures during the growing season and can withstand mild frosts.
- Humidity: Sedum album is adaptable to normal indoor humidity levels. It does not require high humidity and is well-suited to dry environments.
- Fertilization: Minimal fertilization is needed. Apply a balanced, diluted fertilizer during the growing season to promote healthy growth.
- Container: Choose a shallow container with good drainage to accommodate the shallow root system of sedum album.
- Pruning: Prune to maintain shape and remove dead or spent flower heads. This promotes new growth and helps control the spread of the plant.
- Propagation: Sedum album can be propagated by stem cuttings or division. Stem cuttings can be rooted in well-draining soil, while division involves separating mature clumps into smaller plants.
- Pests: Sedum album is generally resistant to pests and diseases. However, watch for aphids, mealybugs, or scale insects, especially in indoor environments.
- Support: Sedum album is a low-growing plant that generally does not require support. Ensure it has adequate space to spread and grow freely.
