Soil selection

Watering method

For Golden Sedum in its vigorous growth period, keep the potting soil moist, water in moderation to avoid waterlogging, and do not let it be exposed to rain for long periods; this is all to prevent the plant from rotting. Follow the watering method of "water when dry, and water thoroughly when watering." When the winter temperature is below 5°C or the summer temperature is above 32°C, the amount of watering must be controlled.

Growth habits

Golden Sedum likes to grow in an environment with sufficient light; during the growth period it should be given sufficient light, and with more sun the leaves will turn a brilliant golden yellow. During the growth period, Golden Sedum should be placed in a sunny environment for care, and there is no need to worry about strong light in hot summer weather. Under sufficient light, Golden Sedum will look especially compact and more beautiful.

Pruning method

Golden Sedum grows relatively quickly and easily fills the pot. When growing it, promptly remove side branches that affect its appearance, and promptly prune and repot. When the growth becomes too dense, it should be divided into separate pots to maintain its overall appearance. Its fleshy stems are rather brittle and break easily, so be careful when repotting and do not break the longer branches, otherwise the ornamental value will be affected.

Propagation method

There are two common propagation methods for Golden Sedum. One is the pot-division method mentioned above, the propagation method used when Golden Sedum grows too densely. The second propagation method is stem cutting. When leaves at the base fall off and the base becomes bare, it can be cut short and then branch again; after dipping the cut stems in diluted rooting solution, insert them into a prepared seedling tray.
