How to care for Sedum auspressum
Introduction: Experience with Sedum auspressum, how to care for Sedum auspressum, let's take a look together!
Sedum auspressum requires a sunny and cool, dry environment, can tolerate semi-shade, fears waterlogging, and dislikes humid heat. It has the habit of growing in cool seasons and dormant in high summer temperatures, and it naturally sheds leaves during the growth process, making it very suitable for leaf propagation.
From September of each year to June of the following year is the growing period of Sedum auspressum (different environments of plant enthusiasts may result in different growth periods). Insufficient sunlight can cause the plant to stretch, the distance between leaves to increase, making the plant loose, the leaf stalks tender, and the leaf color green. Plants grown in充足 sunlight have a compact, stocky shape, with closely spaced internodes and leaves that display a beautiful brown color.
Kite's maintenance example:
Kite's Sedum auspressum is raised in a sunroom with full sunlight. During the growing period, keep the soil moist but avoid waterlogging. Kite used a mixture of coal slag, peat, and a small amount of pearl rock, with a ratio of about 5:4:1, and covered the soil surface with granular natural river sand. Sedum auspressum can tolerate temperatures as low as about -2°C, which is the indoor temperature, not outdoor. Any lower, and the top growth points of the leaves will freeze, dry out, and die. After freezing, all leaves will detach from the leaf stalks. Watering is basically stopped throughout the winter, and watering should be gradually reduced below 5 degrees. In the summer, when temperatures are high, the entire plant grows slowly or stops completely, at which time good ventilation and appropriate shading are required to avoid direct sunlight, reduce watering, and prevent prolonged rain, to avoid rotting of the plant. During the cultivation process, leaves that naturally detach from the stem can be cleaned up. These leaves should not be discarded and can be propagated through leaf insertion.
The propagation of Sedum auspressum is generally by leaf insertion, taking healthy and plump leaves, drying the wound, and inserting them directly into dry granular soil. A small amount of water can be given after a few days. Sedum auspressum is a very easy-to-propagate variety, and leaves root very easily. When they encounter suitable soil, they will firmly root in the ground.
