Water:
Sedum 'Blue Pearl' requires careful watering based on weather and plant state rather than a fixed schedule. Water less during dormancy (1-2 weeks), preferably in the evening during summer. Monitor soil moisture and pot type to adjust watering frequency, preventing rot from overwatering.
Fertilize:
Most succulents, including sedum 'Blue Pearl', thrive in poor environments and generally don't require fertilization. A slow-release fertilizer can be applied in early summer, but avoid fertilizing during dormancy to prevent nutrient damage.
Pruning:
Sedum 'Blue Pearl' displays blue-grey foliage and star-shaped flowers. Prune in early spring to encourage growth, remove damaged stems, and maintain shape. Deadhead spent flowers to prolong blooming. Regular pruning prevents disease and enhances vigor; refer to horticultural guides for proper methods and timing.
Propagation:
Succulent plants can be propagated using seeds, although germination is challenging. More commonly, healthy leaves are cut and laid on slightly humid soil during spring or autumn. Maintain a temperature of 25℃ and provide bright scattered light; buds typically appear within one to two weeks.
