About Lemon Coral
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 Lemon Coral
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 Lemon Coral after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Am I correct in identifying this as a string of Bananas? It's looking pretty sad, so any advice would be appreciated. #StringOfBananas

Are they pests? If so what do I do? When you tell everyone on Greg the plant is going fine...then you notice something the next day...🤦♀️ #PestControl I found small black bugs flying around Pearl...i think that they're gnats...there isn't a lot of them at the moment, but what to I do? #Sedum #SucculentSquad I couldn't get a good picture cuz they like to hide in her foliage...
-
I haven’t seen any more…but I did nothing #PestControl I had some Fungus Gnats on Pearl, I haven’t seen any today. I didn’t do anything though. Is that just a lil plant blessing? Or was there not an issue to begin with? #Sedum #pest #Stonecrop
