Culture method of Sedum rotundifolia

Sedum rotundifolia is an evergreen perennial succulent herb of the Sedum family. It is often used to decorate flower beds in gardens, such as circles, squares, clouds, arcs, fans, etc., as well as ground cover plants, potted plants or hanging plants to regulate air humidity and decorate the platform courtyard. Let's take a look at the breeding methods of Sedum rotundifolia.

Growth habits of Sedum rotundifolia

Rhodiola rotundifolia is native to Huangshan Mountain in Anhui Province and Siming Mountain in Zhejiang Province, China, and is born in the shady and humid places under the forest in low mountain valleys. Like cool, humid and semi-shady environment, strong cold tolerance, not resistant to high temperature and sunlight in summer, requires loose and fertile sandy loam. In a sunny and dry environment, as long as it is cultivated in a sunny and dry place, it can grow luxuriantly, have strong cold resistance and have fewer diseases and insect pests.

Propagation method of Sedum rotundifolia

Sedum rooting by cutting method can take root quickly without dipping in rooting hormone, it can take root in 7 days in summer, the plant begins to grow 3 to 4 weeks after cutting, some grow lateral buds, and some continue to grow at the top and then the original part. However, the cutting rooting stage should not be overwatered, the rooting substrate must be well drained and keep the substrate dry, and the light should reach at least 12 to 14 hours a day.

Culture method of Sedum rotundifolia

1. Soil: the cultivated soil of Sedum rotundifolia is required to be well drained and free of diseases and insect pests, and the pH value is between 5.5and 6.0. you can choose the mixture of river sand or peat soil, and the ratio of sand to peat soil is 1:1. In order to reduce the cost, you can also use building scraps containing broken bricks, and the container can choose flowerpots or hole trays.

2. Lighting: Sedum rotundifolia likes an environment with plenty of light, but it is also slightly shady. Growth generally requires direct sunlight to ensure its robust growth, and the leaves have a healthy leaf color. When placed, there should be a certain spacing to prevent overgrowth, depending on the size of different plant types.

3. Temperature: due to its strong cold tolerance, Sedum rotundifolia is native to the plateau, so it can usually withstand extreme low temperature (freezing for a short time) and extremely dry weather, but it is not resistant to high temperature in summer. The suitable temperature for growth at night is 15 ℃ to 18 ℃, and that for growth in daytime is 24 ℃ to 26 ℃.

4. Fertilization: Sedum rotundifolia is extremely resistant to barren and generally does not need fertilization. If you really need fertilization and conservation, you can apply fertilizer 1 or 2 times in the growing season, the concentration must be low, mainly organic nitrogen fertilizer. You can sprinkle organic fertilizer on the soil surface when new buds begin to sprout in early spring, paying attention to a small amount.

5. Watering: Sedum rotundifolia must not be overwatered. Spray proper amount of water in the first 10 to 14 days after potting, so as not to infiltrate the soil. Follow the principle of "dry and wet" to spray water to reduce the time of soil infiltration, otherwise it will cause root rot. Try not to water in winter unless the plant wilts due to lack of water. If there is no Rain Water watering in summer, it will be watered once a week.

6. change the basin: Sedum rotundifolia changes the basin according to the growth of the plant in spring, pay attention not to hurt the leaves, the container can use a shallow flat plate or hanging basin. Flowerpots with a diameter of 15 to 20 centimeters are enough for future growth. The matrix can be mixed with coarse sand to ensure sufficient air permeability.
