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 growing season, 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 there is no long-term drought or long-term moisture, it can grow very well. You can water once when the medium is slightly dry. If it is not watered for a long time, the leaves will noticeably shrink and look listless. If the plant shape is not compact and shows signs of leggy growth, pay attention to increasing sunlight hours and reducing watering appropriately.
Fertilizing: Fertilize 2~3 times throughout the year. Too much fertilizer will cause the leaves to be loose, soft and poor in form.
Light and temperature: Except for appropriate shading in midsummer, full sun is fine. In autumn, when light is abundant and the temperature difference is large, the leaves will turn pink.
