Crassula Petite Bicolor

Plant Care:

Tips on how to care for your plant successfully:

Light: Best grown in full sun. Sedum Little Missy also grows well in partial shade.

Soil: Sedum thrive in shallow or poor soils. They do however, require a free draining soil.

Potting: Sedum grow well in containers. Always ensure that a free draining potting medium is used. We recommend a good quality potting mix with the addition of fine gravel and perlite to improve the drainage. Re-potting of plants is best done in spring, the beginning of the growing period.

Watering: Sedum are drought tolerant and once established require very little watering. Always water the plant thoroughly and allow the plant to drain, then allow the plant to dry out well before watering again. Your plant should never stand in a drip tray with water after watering for any length of time. It is always best to pour this excess water off. The watering frequency should be reduced slightly during the winter months. Frequency of watering is always the most difficult cultural point to give advice on as there are so many variables which influence it. When in doubt as to whether to water or not it is probably best to rather let the plant dry for another day or two and then water it as over-watering can kill your plant very quickly.

Temperature: Sedum is frost hardy and tolerates freezing temperatures.

Fertiliser: Sedum require very little fertiliser. They will benefit from an occasional application of a balanced water-soluble fertiliser during spring and summer. Always use a very dilute solution of ¼ to ½ of the recommended dilution rate.
