- Light: Full sun is ideal! Tolerates partial shade (with less blooming)
- Watering: Very little! Let the soil dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is the main issue.
- Temperature: Most varieties are cold-hardy (-20°C and above!) and resistant to extreme heat.
- Soil: Well-draining is essential! Lean, rocky soil is excellent. Does not like rich soil.
- Fertilizer: Hardly needed! A light feeding in spring if desired.
- Pruning: Remove dead flowers. Some varieties die back in winter and regenerate in spring.
- Propagation: Very easy! A single leaf or small branch roots easily.

The Golden Rule: When in doubt? Don't water! Sedum prefers dryness over moisture. Magical Propagation: A leaf that falls on the soil will root on its own! Simply place leaves on dry soil and wait. Vibrant Colors: Sun + "slight stress" (drought, cold) intensifies red and orange colors. Winter: Tall varieties (like 'Autumn Joy') look dead in winter—this is natural! Do not prune, they will renew in spring. DIY Green Roof: Sedums are the perfect foundation—lay out lean soil, scatter cuttings, and wait!
