Common name of Sedum hispanicum

Sedum hispanicum is commonly known as "Isogoma"

Habits of Sedum hispanicum

Sedum hispanicum belongs to the Crassulaceae family, Sedum genus, and winter is its vigorous growth period.

Native to South Asia to Central Asia. It likes a warm, dry and sunny environment, is afraid of waterlogging and strong direct sunlight, and tolerates partial shade. The suitable growth temperature is 18~25°C.

Home care often uses cuttings for propagation. Common pests and diseases include: southern blight, scale insects

It likes full sun, and can also grow in partial sun, but the leaves will be arranged more loosely. It has strong drought tolerance and grows quickly. It is afraid of heat and tolerates cold; cultivation in Taiwan, China rarely flowers.

Care tips for Sedum hispanicum

Repotting: When repotting each spring, thin out plants that have grown too dense. After 2~3 years of cultivation, they need to be re-propagated by cuttings to refresh them. During the growth period, keep the potting soil slightly moist. In summer it is in a semi-dormant state, so keep the potting soil slightly dry.

Watering: Watering in winter depends on the room temperature. As long as it is not long-term drought or long-term moisture, it can grow very well. You can water once when the medium is slightly dry. If not watered for a long time, the leaves will noticeably shrink and look listless. If the plant shape is not compact and there are signs of leggy growth, pay attention to increasing sunlight hours and appropriately reducing watering.

Fertilizing: Fertilize 2~3 times throughout the year. Over-fertilizing will cause the leaves to become sparse, soft, and poor in form.

Light and temperature: Except for appropriate shading in midsummer, full sun is fine. In autumn, when there is sufficient light and a large temperature difference, the leaves will turn pink.

Propagation methods for Sedum hispanicum

Cuttings: Can be done throughout the year, preferably in spring and autumn. Cut a small cluster of top branches, 4~5 cm long, and plant them directly in pots or insert them into a sand bed. The survival rate is relatively high. After potting,4~5 weeks later, the pot will be full of stems and leaves.

Suggested planting combinations: Sempervivum 'Ouhosen', Echeveria 'Tahejin'.
