How to cultivate the succulent plant Hercules in the constellation
The article will discuss the related knowledge about the succulent plant Hercules in the constellation, how to cultivate it, with a detailed introduction below.
Hercules in the constellation belongs to the Sedum genus of the Crassulaceae family, a perennial succulent plant, and one of the varieties in the succulent constellation series. Some friends have asked how to cultivate the succulent Hercules, which is relatively not difficult to grow. We just need to care for it as we do with other Sedum succulents.
Hercules prefers an environment with plenty of sunlight, cool, and dry conditions. Spring and autumn are the suitable growing seasons, while it barely grows in summer and winter. If planted in a greenhouse with controlled temperatures, it can maintain growth. The soil should be loose and breathable, with watering following the principle of drying out before watering again.
During the summer when the light is strong and the temperature is high, it is necessary to provide shade. However, Hercules can still survive the summer and is not that difficult to care for. If the light is slightly stronger in summer, the plant will lean towards an orange color. No matter what, Hercules is quite resilient, relying entirely on nature, consuming many leaves without any signs of rotting. The leaves are usually blue-green with red edges and are whorled. Under suitable temperature differences and lighting, the edges of the leaves turn purple-red, resembling the 'Red Edge Moon Shadow.'
Hercules is mainly propagated through cutting, with leaves or stem segments planted in loose soil, with proper shading and moisture retention. Generally, it takes about 20 days to grow new roots and become a new plant.
