Sedeveria hummelii

The sedeveria hummelii is a hybridized variety from the Jellybeans and the Painted-lady. Its leaf tips easily redden, with its leaves turning an orange-yellow in the fall and winter seasons, when light is sufficient. In the summer, the plant tends to grow excessively and its leaves revert to green. In the spring, lateral buds will usually sprout on the stems.

Water: Sedeveria hummelii thrives in semi-arid conditions, requiring minimal water. Water sedeveria hummelii every three weeks, allowing the soil to dry out completely. It prefers well-draining soil and is often grown indoors due to its adaptability and ease of care.

Fertilize: Fertilize sedeveria hummelii quarterly using diluted succulents and cacti food to enhance growth. Feed monthly during spring and summer, reducing in fall and withholding in winter. Always fertilize on moist soil to avoid root burn, promoting health and resilience for potential blooms.

Pruning: To maintain the shape of sedeveria hummelii, prune redundant or dense branches in spring and fall using knives or scissors. For propagation, cut a stout stem with 5-6 leaves, apply sulfur powder to the wound, and plant after it heals in slightly moist soil.

Propagation: Propagation of sedeveria hummelii can be done using seeds or more commonly through leaf cuttings in spring and fall. Cut a healthy leaf and lay it on slightly humid soil, ensuring the base is close to the soil. Maintain a temperature of 25℃ (77°F) and bright, scattered light.

Repotting: Sedeveria hummelii is a compact succulent hybrid with a rosette form, reaching up to 15 cm (6 inches) in height. Repot every 2 years in spring with a slightly larger pot, ensuring bright, indirect light and minimal watering post-transplant to promote healthy growth.
