Sedum rubrotinctum is a particularly beautiful Sedum – color changing, sprawling with bubble shaped leaves, beautiful in hanging pots or sunny balconies.
The leaves are small, shiny, fleshy, cylindrical that resemble plump grains of rice.
Similar to other sedums, the leaves have a color-shifting ability though it is triggered by the amount of sun that the plant is exposed to.
The more sun the plant receives, the more red the leaves will appear.
Both the stems and the leaves are capable of produces roots when they come into contact with soil – so don’t worry if the leaves detach! They are similar to the Sedum morganianum in this way – they will form new plantlets if you leave them be.
In winter, star-shaped yellow flowers with five petals appear.
👨🌾GARDENING TIP👨🌾:
-
- These look magnificent when grown in a pot – they drape and they flow (this also makes it easier to bring them in when the temperatures drop). Water once a month.
- Specificities? Well-drained substrate and lots and lots and lots of sun.
