About Sedum Corynephyllum Fr?d

Sedum Corynephyllum Fr?d belongs to the Crassulaceae family and is native to Mexico. It is a variety that proliferates and branches quickly. Its stems are smooth, with jelly-like green leaves growing at the top. The leaves are slender and arranged in a petal-like shape, resembling a fleshy little flower from a distance.

How to care for Sedum Corynephyllum Fr?d

Sun/Temperature: Sedum Corynephyllum Fr?d has strong temperature adaptability and prefers a warm environment, with the optimal growth temperature being 60-80 H. It must be kept warm when the temperature drops below 40H. It prefers plenty of sunlight but can also tolerate semi-shaded environments. In summer, shading should be provided when the sunlight is intense.

Soil/Watering: The soil should be loose and well-drained. Avoiding water accumulation in the pot is essential, so the soil should be dry before watering, using the soak and dry watering method. Although it can tolerate drought and requires less watering, excessive watering can cause the leaves to wrinkle and the branches to develop aerial roots if they become woody, so maintaining a balance between dryness and moisture is essential in daily care.

Fertilizer: Although it requires little fertilizer, applying a diluted water-soluble fertilizer or a small amount of slow-release fertilizer in spring, autumn, and early winter after it matures can promote leaf thickening and increase its cold resistance.

Pests and Diseases: Common pests and diseases of Sedum Corynephyllum Fr?d include scale insects, sooty mold, and powdery mildew. Scale insects can be treated by gently rubbing them with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol, while sooty mold and powdery mildew can be controlled by spraying with a sulfur-containing fungicide. Additionally, during the summer, watering should be controlled, and the plant should be placed in a cool and ventilated area to withstand the heat. In winter, keep the soil dry and place the plant in a warm and sunny environment for overwintering.
