• 3 inch (8 cm) Grower Round Plastic Pot (Black)- 1
• 3.3 inch (8 cm) Square Plastic Planter with Rounded Edges (Yellow)- 1

Sedum is a perennial of dry areas, with spreading stems, 8-75 cm tall. Bluish green, flat, fleshy, ovate leaves have somewhat wavy margins.

Planting And Care

Purchase a well-draining container for planting Sedum adolphi. The container should not be any bigger than 2 inches more in diameter than the root section of the plant.

A larger container will contain more potting soil than is needed for the plant to grow. Unused potting soil collects moisture and the organic material in the potting soil will create fungal problems that can spread to the plant.

Water the Sedum adolphi when the soil in the container is dry. Test the soil for dryness by pushing your finger through the gravel mulch into the top inch of soil. Water heavily until water runs from the bottom of the container.
