Sedum nussbaumerianum Care Guide
Light:
Sedum nussbaumerianum thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. It can tolerate some direct sun, especially morning light, which helps maintain its vibrant colours. Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh midday sun, which can cause leaf burn.
Watering:
Water sparingly. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot. During the growing season (spring and summer), water once every 1-2 weeks. Reduce watering in autumn and winter, as the plant enters a dormant phase.
Soil:
Use a well-draining succulent or cactus compost. A mix containing sand or perlite is ideal to prevent water retention.
Temperature and Humidity:
Prefers temperatures between 15–25°C. Protect from frost, as it is not frost-hardy. Normal indoor humidity levels are suitable; avoid overly humid environments.
Fertilising:
Feed once during the growing season with a balanced, diluted succulent fertiliser. Avoid fertilising in winter.
Propagation:
Sedum nussbaumerianum is easily propagated from stem cuttings. Allow cut ends to callous over for a day or two before planting in well-draining soil.
Pruning:
Trim leggy growth to encourage a bushier shape. Remove any dead or yellowing leaves.
Pests and Problems:
Watch for mealybugs, aphids, and spider mites. Treat infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil. Root rot may occur if overwatered.
Sedum nussbaumerianum is a low-maintenance, colourful succulent, perfect for adding a splash of yellow-orange to your indoor garden.
