Cultivation methods and precautions of Sedum

1. Maintenance methods

1. Substrate selection: Sedum can grow better in loose, well-drained soil. We can mix it with leaf mold, garden soil and some clean river sand.

2. Light management: Place the plant in a ventilated and shaded place in summer and in direct sunlight in spring and autumn. In winter, it should be placed in a bright place indoors and provided with light all year round.

3. Nutrient management: The growth rate is relatively fast, so do not apply too much fertilizer. Otherwise, the sedum tree will become too lush and affect the tree shape and the beauty of the plant. During the growing season, it is enough to use two applications of diluted fertilizer water. Fertilization is prohibited in winter.

4. Water management: It has strong drought resistance and can grow even in drought conditions. However, its roots are afraid of waterlogging, and if water accumulates, it will cause root rot. The principle of watering it is not to water it when the soil is not dry, and when watering, make sure the soil is watered thoroughly.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Wintering: Move it to a well-lit location in winter and wrap it with plastic film outdoors to keep it warm. However, the plastic film should be removed at noon every two days to allow the plants to ventilate, which is beneficial to their growth.

2. Summer: Place it in a cool place, provide it with shade, and spray it appropriately, 2 to 3 times a day.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Root rot: If you water too much, the accumulated water will harm the growth of its root system. You must control the frequency and amount of watering.

2. Leaf spot: If leaf spot is found, the diseased leaves can be removed to prevent infection to other leaves. In severe cases, 70% thiophanate-methyl can be sprayed for prevention and control.
