Sedum Dendroideum belongs to the Crassulaceae family, a succulent plant within the Sedum genus. It is a spring and autumn growth type species characterized by its fast growth and easy branching. When mature, it develops smooth and slightly woody branches, perfect for bonsai or potted tree cultivation. Its leaf shape resembles a spoon with a smooth and waxy surface, similar to flower petals. The leaf tips may have a slight twist, and the primary leaf color is a yellow-green jelly-like hue adorned with bright red edges. The leaves grow densely at the top of the branches, resembling blossoms blooming on the tree's limbs when viewed from afar.
Sun/Location: Like other succulent plants, Sedum needs very little attention to care. They can thrive in less favorable conditions as well. Sedum dendroideum thrives in bright sunlight. Place the plant where it can receive at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily. They need bright sunlight to develop and maintain their best colors. A south-facing window or a sunny spot outdoors is ideal. The bright sunlight helps the plant develop and maintain its vibrant colors.
Temperature: Sedum dendroideum can tolerate various temperatures but prefers moderate to warm conditions. While it can endure brief periods of temperatures as low as 20°F, its optimal range lies between 50-75°F. Although Sedum dendroideum is considered a spring and autumn growth type species, its dormancy period is not very pronounced. It can continue to grow well during the summer with some shade, and in winter, it can safely overwinter with temperatures not dropping below 41°F. Please note that Sedum dendroideum's growth patterns may vary depending on environmental conditions, but generally, it adapts well to moderate temperatures throughout the year.
Watering/Soil: Like most succulents, Sedum dendroideum is drought-tolerant and prefers infrequent watering. Ensure the soil is allowed to dry thoroughly between watering sessions. Excessive watering can result in root rot and other potential problems. During the growing season (spring and summer), water sparingly and reduce watering in the dormant winter months. Use well-draining soil for your Sedum dendroideum. A succulent or cactus-specific potting mix works well. To ensure adequate drainage, you can create your mix by combining regular potting soil with perlite or coarse sand. Click here to get the soil recipe for succulent plants.

EXTREME WEATHER NOTICE: The Next Gardener reserves the right to hold shipments during storms or periods of extreme heat or cold. This is to ensure your plant does not suffer while it is in transit.
Winter shipping
We insist on shipping succulents to our customers all year round. However due to the extreme winter weather, although we pack succulents with as much protective material as possible, plants are still at increased risk of frost on their way to colder areas. We highly recommend adding one 72-hour heat pack to your order or you can request a hold on the package until it warms up.
Please note that The Next Gardener is not responsible for packages that suffer cold damage without a heat pack. We cannot control the weather. Order at your own risk.
Hawaii, Alaska, and Other US Territories
Unfortunately, shipping is not available to Alaska, Guam, and other U.S. Territories. The transit time is too long, and the plants would be dead on arrival.
Due to numerous factors beyond our control, free shipping to Hawaii and Puerto Rico is not an option. And, we can no longer guarantee orders going to Hawaii and Puerto Rico that get delayed by more than 4 in-transit days. The buyer will assume all risk of damage when a delivery is delayed. Thank you for your understanding.
Sorry. No International Shipping for now!!!
I kind of think that the plant I got isn’t the same as the plant listed. Totally different shape, color, form. And wasn’t packed well
This plant was packed very well and appears very healthy. I'm a repeat customer and am very pleased with the plants that I get from TNG.
Arrived very well packed. Appears healthy and striving. I'm satisfied.
