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, fears waterlogging and strong direct sunlight, and tolerates partial shade. The suitable growth temperature is 18~25°C.
For home care, cuttings are usually used for propagation. Common pests and diseases include: southern blight and scale insects
It likes full sun and can also grow in partial sun, but the leaf arrangement will be looser. It has strong drought tolerance and grows quickly. It fears heat and tolerates cold; cultivation in Taiwan, China rarely flowers.
Care tips for Sedum hispanicum
Repotting: when repotting each spring, thin out overly dense plants. After 2~3 years of cultivation, they need to be re-propagated by cuttings for renewal. 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 there is no prolonged drought or prolonged 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 shrivel and look listless. If the plant shape is not compact and there is a tendency to leggy growth, pay attention to increasing sunlight hours and appropriately reducing watering.
Fertilizing: fertilize 2~3 times throughout the year. Too much fertilizer 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 light is sufficient and the temperature difference is large, the leaves will turn pink.
Propagation methods of 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 for 4~5 weeks, the pot will be full of stems and leaves.
Suggested planting combinations: Sedum pachyphyllum and Echeveria 'Titubans'.
