Golden Sedum (Sedum adolphi)

• Appearance: Golden Sedum is a charming succulent known for its fleshy, yellow-green leaves that develop vibrant orange or red hues when exposed to full sunlight. The leaves are broadly lanceolate to obovate, up to 1.2 inches (3 cm) long, and arranged in dense clusters along the stems. In spring, it produces small, star-shaped white flowers that contrast beautifully with the foliage.
• Size: This plant typically grows up to 12 inches (30 cm) tall, making it suitable for ground cover, hanging baskets, or as an accent in succulent arrangements.

Care Requirements

• Light: Thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade. Adequate sunlight is essential for vibrant leaf coloration and robust growth.
• Soil: Prefers well-draining soil. A cactus or succulent mix enriched with sand or perlite ensures proper drainage, preventing root rot.
• Watering: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. During the dormant winter months, reduce watering to avoid overwatering. Always ensure the pot has adequate drainage to prevent water accumulation.
• Temperature: Prefers average to warm temperatures. Protect it from frost, as it is not frost-tolerant.
