About Golden 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 Golden 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 Golden Sedum after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Should I Water? Do I water #Succulents when the leaves start showing signs of thirst even though Greg says to water every so and so days? @Artistic_Stoner @FairyFly @itsjordan @Camron @Propa @stephonicle @AnthuriumQueen My #GoldenSedum has wrinkly leaves, but I’m not sure when to water it. Soil is completely dry, and it’s only been a week since I watered it last. Aren’t succulents supposed to go for weeks or even months without water? First time caring for succulents, so I’m very clueless 😅 #NewPlantMom #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #SuccerForSucculents

I had just bought this beautiful succulent yesterday when me and my mom went to Lowe’s together! It’s so cute and I hope that it doesn’t die!🩷🪴 #SucculentLove #succlentmom

Hi! I’m trying to verify what kind of plant this little one is. I’m not able to tell what kind of succulent she is, and I want to make sure she’s getting adequate care. Any advice is appreciated! #SucculentLove #Sempervivum #NewPlantMom

My Sedum Adolphi’s POT is growing mold?? Today I took down one of my S. Adolphi plants to water it and I noticed that it has some fuzzy white and greenish mold growing on the pot… but on the OUTSIDE. I don’t know how long it’s been there and I didn’t notice it until now as it’s not very much but it’s definitely still there. What would cause this and should I be worried? Thank you! (P.S. my plant profiles aren’t very updated cuz I can’t figure it out so don’t trust the profile lol and if u got a question feel free to ask and yes the bottom is glued because my mom glued up the drainage holes on some of my pots before I could stop her so I just have to be more careful watering.

Recently repotted to save from overwatering. Not sure when to water again #Sedum So I repotted this sedum on Friday, 4/5, because I suspected it had been overwatered due to some mushy leaves. I let it dry out a couple of days before putting back in slightly dry soil. I put it in a smaller pot because the original one just seemed too deep for the shallow roots it currently has. My question is, how long do I wait to water again now that it's been repotted? I don't want to water too soon and risk losing more leaves or worse. And I don't want to risk the roots not taking to the new soil because I waited too long. Thx.
