Sedum 'Salsa'

Sedum pachyphyllum 'Salsa': A mysterious and alien looking succulent that sports red tipped leaves with a crystal-like facets. This plant grows with a long stem and many round leaves. The faint lines on these leaves give the plant a mineral look. These leaves also turn more red with increased sunlight but are otherwise lime green.

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 well-draining cactus and succulent soil 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 or mature leaves. Look to our for more information.
