How to care for Sedum Treleasei
Sunlight: Sedum Treleasei thrives compactly and exhibits yellow or pink hues on its leaves under full sunlight. The white powdery coating on the leaves also increases. Shade is necessary during hot summers; otherwise, full sunlight is beneficial.
Temperature: Sedum Treleasei prefers temperatures between 60-85°F for optimal growth. Measures should be taken to cool the plant if temperatures exceed 85°F, such as placing it under air conditioning. Protect the plant indoors if temperatures drop below 40°F to prevent frost damage.
Soil/Pot: Use pots with suitable drainage holes, approximately 10% larger than the plant's size. Opt for well-draining, porous soil mixtures, such as a 1:1 combination of regular soil and perlite.
Watering: Sedum Treleasei has excellent water retention capabilities and is drought-tolerant—water when the leaves slightly wilt or the soil is completely dry.
Propagation: Propagate Sedum Treleasei through cutting or leaf propagation. Here are the steps for cutting propagation:
● Select a healthy, pest-free mother plant for cuttings.
● Use clean, sharp scissors or a blade to cut the stem material.
● Allow the cuttings to air dry in a ventilated, shaded area for 2-3 days.
● Insert the cuttings into succulent-specific or sandy soil.
● Lightly mist during the process.
● Place in bright, indirect light.
● Rooting takes 1-2 weeks for succulent cuttings.
● Periodically check by gently tugging the cutting; resistance indicates rooting.
● Once rooted and showing significant new growth, resume watering. Success in propagation is indicated by healthy growth.
