Spring Blush, Sedum "Alice Evans" - a succulent plant in the genus Sedum of the family Crassulaceae. One theory is that it is a hybrid offspring of Sedum clavatum and Sedum japonicum, inheriting the fragrance of its female parent Sedum clavatum.

Morphological characteristics

The leaves of Spring Blush are long and ovate, green to yellow-green, arranged in a rosette shape. Under the influence of light intensity and temperature difference, the leaves take on a jelly-like translucence, making them very cute. If the light is insufficient, the leaf color will appear merely green - not cute, just dull.

Overall, Spring Blush is cute when young, but turns dull-looking once grown. Spring Blush blooms in spring, with raceme inflorescences; the small flowers are bell-shaped and white, and a huge number of tiny white flowers line the pedicels like a small bouquet.

Growth habits

Spring Blush prefers a warm, dry, well-ventilated environment with plenty of sunlight. It is drought-tolerant, cold-tolerant and quite adaptable, and can be tried in outdoor or semi-outdoor cultivation. Spring Blush grows vigorously; spring and autumn are its growing seasons, and its summer dormancy is not obvious. The optimum growth temperature is 15-28°C, and in winter it is recommended not to go below 5°C.

Care methods

During the growing season it can be watered thoroughly; during high summer temperatures, take care to provide shade and control watering. With insufficient light, the leaves of Spring Blush will look less translucent green, and may even grow spindly and lose their cute appearance, so it is recommended to give it more light. For the soil mix, peat and perlite can be used at a ratio of 3:2, with a small amount of bone meal added. In addition, Spring Blush is very susceptible to pesticide damage, which causes the leaves to yellow and turn to mush, so extra care should be taken when spraying.

Propagation methods

Spring Blush is generally propagated by leaf cuttings or stem cuttings, and propagation is relatively easy.
