Sedum nussbaumerianum Ø6.5cm

Sedum nussbaumerianum is a compact succulent from the Crassulaceae family, native to Veracruz, Mexico. It stands out for its rosettes of fleshy leaves that shift from golden green to an intense orange-bronze glow. Wonderfully drought-tolerant and easy-going, it is a perfect pick for beginners and for eye-catching succulent arrangements. Care instructions Sedum nussbaumerianum grows as a semi-shrubby succulent, producing branched stems of 15-30 cm in length that spread horizontally or trail slightly from pots. The growth rate is fast for a succulent: 10-20 cm per year under optimal conditions. Stems become semi-woody at the base as they age. Propagation is extremely simple: individual leaves or stem cuttings placed on dry substrate root within 1-3 weeks. Success rate for leaf propagation: 80-90%. The Cactus and Succulent Society of America recommends allowing the leaf to dry for 1-2 days before planting. Care requirements: Light: Direct sun 4-6 hours/day for optimal colours. Tolerates indirect light but with colour loss. South/west windows ideal. Temperature: 10-35°C, optimum 18-26°C. Tolerates down to 0°C briefly. Cold temperatures stimulate colouring. Watering: Only when substrate is completely dry. Summer: every 10-14 days, winter: every 21-30 days. Extremely drought-resistant. Humidity: 30-50% (prefers dry air). Do NOT mist leaves. Substrate: Cactus mix: 50% mineral soil (coarse sand/perlite), 30% nutritive soil, 20% pumice. pH: 6.0-7.0. Excellent drainage mandatory. Fertilising: Diluted cactus fertiliser, once a month in the warm season. Do NOT fertilise in winter. Propagation: Leaves (allow 1-2 days drying) or stem cuttings. 80-90% success. Any growing period.
