About Sedum Makinoi
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!

How to fertilize Sedum Makinoi

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 Makinoi after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Help! It may be too late… I’ve always said I have the opposite of a green thumb, but I’m trying to do better hence this app! This poor baby has been neglected by me. I recently repotted it in a bigger pot because I thought it was part of the problem (it had out grown this tiny 2.5” pot). It actually is starting to look a little better than this picture but I don’t have an updated one. Is it too late to save it? Was it over or underwatered? Please help! P.S. I’m also not sure that Greg got the species of plant right. Can anyone help with that as well? #oppositeofagreenthumb #PlantGraveyard #PlantID

some of my Japanese stonecrop's leaves want to fall off. I bought it last week and I only watered it once. It's also get direct sunlight every morning. can't see it from the picture, but the leaves look weak when i touch them. Is that normal? #sedum

I bought a plant about 4 months ago and found this succulent leaf in the pot with it. I just left it in the soil, and about a month ago, It started sprouting like it is now. I've been misting it every couple of days, but I'm not sure if I should do more. #Sedum #newplant #help #succulentsquad

Thriving or surviving? Hi everyone! I am new to the plant community and need help with a Needle Stonecrop I purchased last Sunday. His name is Bro! I am not sure if I am caring for him properly because I see the roots look black. Am I burning him? He is outside in direct sunlight. I know he is supposed to create vines eventually, but I'm not sure I like how some of the leaves look pale. Please help! I really love him and want to keep him alive :) #sedum #succulent #please help #newbie #newplantparent

Why did all the leaves just fall off? It’s under a grow light and I’m watering according to the app requirements. #Sedum

This plant came from my gmas in Modesto and was super green. Now he's turning yellow and I've been following water reminders. Any advice? He's very sentimental. Thanks #Sedum #overwatering #underwatering

I see new growth, but some leaves are turning a reddish orange. Is that normal? I'm new at this and this was my grandma's plant who passed, so she needs to live on in memory. Thanks #Sedum #yellow #newgrowth

Amber was handed down to me. It's so full that I can't tell what soil was used and can't stick my finger in there to tell if she's thirsty. She used to live where it was really hot and sunny. Santa Cruz weather is different. Is she looking normal? 😬 #Sedum #yellowing #normalornot

Sedum Makinoi is generally considered an easy-to-care-for plant and makes a great choice for beginners!
💦 Water Needs
Sedum Makinoi thrives in dry soil and should be watered sparingly. Use our water calculator to personalize watering recommendations to your environment or download Greg for more advanced recommendations for all of your plants.
☀️ Sunlight Needs
Sedum Makinoi requires abundant, bright and direct light. Place it less than one foot from a window to ensure it receives enough light to survive 💪. Select your region to see how the current weather in your area affects the placement in your home 🏡.
🐶 🐈 👶 Toxicity
Sedum Makinoi is not safe to consume. If you, a family member, or a pet has ingested any amount of plant material contact Poison Control, US (800) 222-1222, or your veterinarian. If you have children, cats, or dogs in the home, we suggest keeping this plant out of reach.
💨 Humidity
Sedum Makinoi enjoys lots of humidity. Provide humidity for your plant by watering regularly and thoroughly, since plants absorb most water through their root system rather than their leaves. They may also benefit from being placed next to a humidifier.
🪴 Soil
Sedum Makinoi is very sensitive to wet soil, so choose a potting soil that drains very well and doesn’t retain too much moisture. A good soil will have lots of perlite or vermiculite for drainage and some organic matter for nutrition. A few handfuls of perlite added to regular store-bought cactus soil will do the trick!
💩 Fertilizer
Sedum Makinoi grows very slowly and doesn’t require added fertilizer. Replacing your plant’s potting soil once a year should provide them with more than enough nutrition. Remember, plants get their energy from sunlight, not fertilizer!
❄️ Dormancy
It’s common for Sedum Makinoi to go dormant in the summertime and you may notice their growth slow down. Waterings should be spaced out more during this time.
🌎 Native Region
Sedum Makinoi is native to Northern Hemisphere, South America, and Africa.
🌸 Flowers
Sedum Makinoi produces flowers in the wild, but does not flower when kept as houseplants.
🌦️ Growing Outdoors
USDA Hardiness Zone
Sedum Makinoi can be grown outdoors in USDA Hardiness Zones 6-10b. Find your local hardiness zone here.
🧐 Troubleshooting
When troubleshooting a sad-looking houseplant, start by checking for signs of distress in its leaves, such as yellowing, browning, or drooping, which can indicate overwatering or nutrient deficiencies.
Inspect the soil moisture; too dry or too wet soil can cause problems.
Ensure the plant is getting the right amount of light, as too much or too little can stress it.
Finally, consider environmental factors like temperature and humidity, and adjust care routines accordingly to revive your plant.
