How to Care for Sedum 'Major'

Sunlight/Position: Sedum 'Major' prefers bright, direct sunlight and requires at least 4-6 hours of sunlight per day to thrive. Place this lovely plant in a sunny location both indoors and outdoors, but avoid strong afternoon sun and high temperatures. Sedum 'Major' should be gradually acclimated to increased light levels to prevent sunburn and other damage during hot summers. Move it to a sunnier location to make up for the shorter days and lower light levels during cold winters.

Soil/Potting: Sedum 'Major' requires a well-drained, sandy or gravelly soil. A suitable soil mixture can be prepared by mixing together equal parts standard potting mix, sand, and perlite. Repotting in the warm spring or early summer is necessary only when the plant outgrows its container. During repotting, any damaged or dead roots should be pruned back to prevent bacterial or fungal diseases. With the right soil mixture and proper care, S. Dasyphyllum 'Major' can thrive and become a stunning addition to any succulent collection.

Watering: S. Dasyphyllum 'Major' requires small and infrequent watering to prevent overwatering, which can damage the roots and cause the plant to rot. The plant should only be watered when the soil is completely dry, which can be determined by touching the soil or using a moisture meter. Water in the morning rather than in the evening to allow this lovely plant to absorb moisture before the day gets hot. Also, excess water should be removed from the tray or tray under the pot to prevent root rot.

Humidity: S. Dasyphyllum 'Major' prefers dry conditions with low to moderate humidity. Ideally, the plant should be grown in a location with a relative humidity of 30% or less. High humidity can cause the plant to develop fungal diseases or rot, especially if the soil remains moist. Also, proper air circulation helps maintain humidity around the plant and prevents stagnant air that can cause moisture to accumulate.

Pest Control: S. Dasyphyllum 'Major' is generally a hardy plant that is rarely affected by pests. However, it is occasionally affected by common succulent pests, such as mealybugs, scale insects, and spider mites. Plants need to be checked regularly for signs of pest infestation, such as sticky or discolored leaves, webs, or small insects on leaves or stems.

Winter shipping

We insist on shipping succulents to our customers all year round.

Fortunately, shipping is available to Alaska, Guam, and other U.S. Territories.
