How to care for Kosenji Oh
If you want to know about the succulent plant Kosenji Oh, how to care for it, the following article will introduce it to you.
Kosenji Oh belongs to the Sedum genus of the Crassulaceae family, with leaves ranging from green to reddish-brown, with new leaves being lighter and old leaves darker. Under strong light, large day-night temperature differences, or during the low temperatures of winter, the leaves turn deep red, while under weak light, the leaves are light green. The leaf edges often show pink. The leaf surface is covered with a fine white powder, and when the old leaves shed this powder, they become smooth. It blooms in summer, with paniculate inflorescences that can reach over 30 cm in length, producing orange bell-shaped flowers.
Kosenji Oh needs sufficient sunlight for the leaves to be vibrant and the plant to be compact and beautiful. Insufficient sunlight results in lighter leaf color and loose leaf arrangement. Kosenji Oh is a large plant that needs to be repotted every 1-2 years according to its growth, with the pot diameter 1-2 inches larger than the plant diameter to promote growth. The soil must be completely dry before watering, and a slow-release fertilizer can be applied every quarter. Propagation is done through stem cutting and leaf cutting, which can be carried out throughout the year.
Example of flower friend Kite:
Although Kite grows the plant outdoors, when the temperature exceeds 35 degrees, it is moved to bright diffused light and water is gradually reduced, with little or no water given during the entire summer dormancy period. By mid-September, when the temperature drops, watering is resumed. Kosenji Oh that has adapted to the outdoor environment can still grow normally in the summer, with the dormancy not being very noticeable. In winter, if the temperature can be maintained above 0 degrees, watering can be continued, but below 0 degrees, watering should be stopped to prevent frostbite.
Even though winter is cold, it's not necessary to completely stop watering throughout the season; a small amount of water can be given at the base of the plant at appropriate times. Avoid spraying or giving too much water, as water retention in the leaf center for too long can cause rot. Normal watering can be gradually resumed after the spring temperature rises.
Kosenji Oh is still a very easy-to-care-for variety. Apart from providing appropriate shade in the summer, it can be exposed to full sunlight in other seasons. Kite uses a mixture of peat and granular materials like coal slag and river sand for the soil, with clean granular river sand laid on the surface, focusing on soil breathability.
