I. Cultivation methods 1. Soil: Sedum sarmentosum prefers well-drained, fertile sandy soil and can be mixed with peat, perlite, and vermiculite. 2. Lighting: Sedum sarmentosum prefers a semi-shaded environment and should avoid strong sunlight in the summer. It can be placed in the sun in spring and autumn. 3. Watering: Keep the soil moist during the growing season but do not waterlog. Increase watering during the hot summer and reduce it in winter. 4. Fertilization: Apply a thin nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium compound fertilizer once a month during the growing season, and increase the application of phosphorus-potassium fertilizer in autumn. 5. Propagation: Sedum sarmentosum can be propagated by division, leaf insertion, and cutting. Division is best done in spring, and leaf insertion and cutting can be done in all seasons.
II. Pruning methods 1. Thinning: During the growing season, it is necessary to pinch the plants to promote branching and make the plant more full. At the same time, thin out dense, weak, and yellow branches to facilitate ventilation and light transmission. 2. Pruning: In spring, you can prune Sedum sarmentosum heavily, removing diseased, weak, crossed, and inward-growing branches to maintain an elegant shape. The cut branches can be used for propagation. 3. Removing residual flowers: After flowering, cut off the residual flowers in time to avoid consuming nutrients and affecting plant growth.
III. Precautions 1. Avoid direct sunlight: In the hot summer, avoid placing Sedum sarmentosum in direct sunlight to prevent leaf sunburn. 2. Control watering: When watering, follow the principle of "drier rather than wetter" to prevent waterlogging in the soil, which can lead to root rot. 3. Prevent pests and diseases: Sedum sarmentosum is easily affected by pests such as aphids and red spiders. If pests are found, they should be controlled in time. Also, pay attention to the prevention of diseases such as gray mold. 4. Timely potting: As Sedum sarmentosum grows quickly, it can be repotted every spring to provide ample growing space. 5. Proper pruning: Pruning can promote plant growth and maintain an elegant shape, but attention should be paid to the pruning method to avoid over-pruning, which can lead to poor plant growth.
