Light Requirements: Prefers bright, direct sunlight for several hours a day. It thrives in full sun, especially in the morning, but can tolerate bright, indirect light indoors.
Watering Needs: Water thoroughly when the soil is completely dry. Overwatering is a common issue—ensure excellent drainage and avoid letting the plant sit in water. Water less frequently in winter.
Soil Preference: Use a fast-draining cactus or succulent mix. A blend with added perlite or pumice improves aeration and prevents moisture buildup around the roots.
How to Fertilize: Fertilize sparingly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted, low-nitrogen cactus fertilizer once a month. Do not fertilize in fall or winter.
Hardiness Zone: Suitable for USDA Hardiness Zones 9–11. Protect from frost and bring indoors if temperatures fall below 40°F.
Pet Safety: Non-toxic to cats and dogs.
Additional Care Tips: Sedum morganianum is a trailing succulent known for its plump, blue-green leaves that break off easily. Ideal for hanging baskets or shallow containers placed in sunny spots. Avoid handling the plant frequently, as the leaves are delicate and fall off with minimal contact. Propagate easily from fallen leaves or stem cuttings. Rotate occasionally for even growth, and repot only when necessary to avoid disturbing the fragile stems.
