How to fertilize Sedum cepaea
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Sedum cepaea after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Showing some not so happy neglected succs, that I left behind at my moms when I moved all my plants to my boyfriends house… (he’s very accommodating amirite?!😆) … and some also happy succs that are outside in containers at my moms, that Ill be leaving there ! For the happy succs, we have some sedums & a hens & chicks variety… I didn’t get a pic of all the hens but I did get a picture of the biggest one! Now for the sad succs… so I had recovered sanders completely from frost, but then my cat decided to use her as a chew toy… and she’s been inside since my mom forgot to move her back out after a brief cold period recently… so that led to a bit of color loss/etoliation. She will be an easy fix so I’m not worried! Sanders and her babies have quite literally been through it all.. I even turned her pot upside down in the car this morning bringing her with mee 🙃😳.. she’s tough to say the least ! And then I have my Sedeveria ‘Dark Elf’ that is completely etoliated and fading green… yes I knoww she needs better lighting conditions.. or rather more consistent. Since she’s been at my mom’s she isn’t always able to cycle the lights properly which is fine.. so I brought him with me to where I stay now, so I can get him back to normal! #GrowingSuccs #OutdoorGrowing #OutsidePlants #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents #Succulent #RecoveringPlants #PlantAddict #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #plantproject #PetsAndPlants #Sedum #Sedeveria #GhostPlant #Graptopetalum #HensAndChicks #Sempervivum

Got to see my grandma today, we went to a local nursery & lowes! 😊 I picked up a couple plants of course… 1. Sedum Sunsparkler ‘Dream Dazzler’ 💕 I love the pink! Me and my grandma split this one in half, she also gave me another Sunsparkler that I posted a couple days ago. 2/3. A lil container i put together with a Hardy Ice Plant ‘sunset’ & sedeveria Letzia, the sedeveria came in a four pack & they all seem to have blooms starting to form on them. 🌼 4/5. Graptosedum ‘Ghosty’ , I’ve had these before but they died so i got more, they are pretty easy plants for me, and they grow pretty fast in the right conditions. These also have some bloom stalks forming. 🌸 I’ve never seen the flower before so hopefully I’ll get to see them! #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents #Succulent #SuccerForSucculents #HappyPlants #PlantAddict #HappyPlants #BloomingSuccs #Sedeveria #Graptosedum #OutdoorGrowing #OutsidePlants #sedum #GrowingSuccs #NewGrowth

Questions about Sedum I just bought a Golden Sedum today, and I was wondering around how big or how old should it be before I can start propagating it? When that time comes, how would I go about propagating? Feel free to also leave any general tips or suggestions for me! #Sedum

Why my sedum leaves are drying even when watered regularly? #Sedum

Is something wrong with my Sedum? Ive been growing this plant for a week, and I noticed that some of the leaves are just randomly falling off, and some also have random dark patches. Am I doing something wrong? Or is the plant sick? And is there anything I can do to help it? #Sedum #help

My daughter and I went with my husband to Lowe’s because he had to get some tools for his job. It was a mistake… my daughter convinced me to get these two. 😂 I also planted my new monstera seeds so wish me luck with those! Hopefully I get at least 1 to survive. #HappyPlants #NewPlants #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents #Sedum #Echeveria #Monstera #monsteradeliciosa

Leggy pork and beans #Sedum My plant hasn’t gotten very leggy with lots of aerial roots. I’ve been watering about every 2 weeks. Do I need to water more often or cut it back?

Not sure what to do with this I just got this from a friend that didn't want it anymore. It's very long and flops over. What should I do with this lol? I think I identified it properly but if it's something else that has just been neglected let me know because I have no clue. There are a lot of roots coming from the leaves. #Sedum

New to sedums. I've heard they are super easy to propagate... helpful suggestions welcomed. #Sedum
