About Chinese Sedum
Plants in the Sedum genus are super diverse, and are native to regions all over the world. Horticulturalists have bred them to create even more variietes that come in all manner of shapes and colors! Their succulent leaves help store water, and they are incredibly easy to propagate. Just gently pop off one of the leaves and with water and sunlight it will grow into a whole new plant. 🪴

How to fertilize Chinese Sedum
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 Chinese Sedum after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

What’s happening to my #Sedum ? Hey, guys! My sedum has this nasty white/brown stuff on it. I thought it was just dirt at first, but it’s spread across pretty much all the leaves now. To me it looks like some sort of fungus, but I’m not sure. Does anyone know what’s happening, and if so, how do I fix it? #helpneeded #PlantClinic

Neglected Chinese Sedum I went away for a few weeks and the person who was taking care of my plants forgot out my Chinese sedum that was outside enjoying the sunshine. I almost gave up hope until I saw this little new growth. Any suggestions on how I can ensure she continues to grow? #Sedum

Can you plant the petals to grow another plant? So many of mine fell off when I replanted #Sedum

Should I plant Bodhi in a smaller pot? #Sedum I moved her to the larger plater because the previous was too small but now I think this one is too big. What do y'all suggest?

Good morning all! Today my #TinyTuesday plants get a good water! They’re in the smallest pots ( i think) so they need the most water even if they are drought tolerant! Other than baby snake plants and possibly some succulents Make sure to water your 2-4 inch potted plants every 3-4 days and always check on them they are babies after all and when have you left a baaby alone? UHG question btw should i water my Chinese sedum it’s been a while #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #SucculentLove #PlantTherapy

I just got this plant I just placed it in succulent soil and hopefully it goes. Do I water it now or wait? Also it says from my search it's a coral reef? Can anyone verify? It does look like what I saw but want to make sure TIA #Sedum

White spots??? #Sedum Hey everyone, my Chinese sedum showed these white spots in 2-3 leaves, is doing great otherwise. What could this be, any fungus maybe? and what should I do? Appreciate any help!

She’s looking sparce #Sedum #coralreef #ChineseSedum hi guys, another question… my Chinese sedum “coral reef” is looking really sparse, compared to when I got her (if you check out her before & after gallery pics-she’s the one in the description below). Being new to succulents I’m pretty sure I previously overwatered her, & lost some growth from this particular pot (but those propagations are growing in another pot with all my other *let’s try this again* succulents😊). Question is, Greg doesn’t want me to water her just yet although the soil looks extremely dry, does anyone know how to help her fill out & grow? Am I missing something? Thanks in advance!!

Can I cut this where there are leaves missing and just stick it back in the pot? Will it root and grow if I do this? #Sedum #happyplants #newgrowth #jodisplace
