Sedum furfuraceum - Bonsai Sedum

Sedum furfuraceum (Bonsai Sedum) (Moran): Olive green, bead-like leaves that sometimes flush red. The leaves naturally have a crackled, white surface. It grows branching, woody stems and it a great succulent option for bonsai.

Soft Sedum need bright sunlight to maintain their colors and full leaf coverage. They will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light.

Like most succulents, soft Sedum need great drainage and deep, infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again.

Soft Sedum can be propagated from stem cuttings. Look to our for more information.
