Care for Your Sedum 'Green Mound'
Light: Thrives in full sun to maintain its compact growth and vibrant green color. It can tolerate partial shade, but the growth may become looser, and the color less intense.
Soil: Requires well-draining soil to prevent root rot. A sandy or gritty soil mix is ideal.
Watering: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Sedums are drought-tolerant and susceptible to overwatering. Reduce watering significantly during the dormant winter months.
Temperature: Exhibits good cold hardiness (check specific cultivar details for exact temperature tolerance) and also tolerates heat well.
Humidity: Adapts well to a range of humidity levels. Good air circulation is beneficial.
 
Maintenance for a Thriving Plant
Removing Dead Foliage: Regularly remove any dead or dried leaves and stems to maintain a tidy appearance and prevent potential issues.
Pruning (Optional): If the mound becomes too large or to maintain a specific shape, light trimming can be done in early spring.
Repotting (If in Containers): Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows its container, using a well-draining soil mix.
Pest Control: Generally pest-resistant, but monitor for common garden pests like aphids or slugs.
 
Propagation Methods for Expanding Your Collection
Stem Cuttings: A very easy and reliable method. Take stem cuttings a few inches long, allow the cut ends to callus over for a day or two, and then plant them in well-draining soil. They root readily.
Division: Mature clumps can be easily divided in spring or fall. Gently separate the rooted sections and replant them.
 
Sedum 'Green Mound' is a dependable and attractive succulent that provides a lush carpet of vibrant green foliage. Its low-maintenance nature and versatility make it a popular choice for adding enduring greenery to various garden settings and containers.
