Phedimus comprise a genus of succulents with characteristic flat leaves and colorful flowers. In addition to their attractive appearance, they are quite practical plants, as they are tolerant of frost and drought and are very cold hardy. They may thrive in damp and shaded areas as well. All of these characteristics make these succulents great options as groundcover or container plants.
Water:
Phedimus is drought-tolerant, requiring watering every three weeks due to its water-storing succulent leaves. Thriving in well-draining soil, it efficiently uses seasonal rains and is suited for outdoor rock gardens, especially in temperate climates with infrequent rainfall.
Propagation:
Propagation of phedimus can be done through cuttings, division, or seeds, with cuttings preferred. Key factors include well-draining soil, indirect light, and moderate temperature. Cuttings should callous before planting. Typically easy for beginners, germination from seeds may vary. Follow outlined steps for successful propagation.
