Seed treatment

Before planting Sedum, we need to germinate the seeds first, so that the germination rate of Sedum will be higher. First, we soak the seeds in warm water for a day and a night, then put the Sedum seeds on a soaked paper towel and seal it with plastic wrap, then poke a few small holes in the plastic wrap to increase air circulation, and the Sedum seeds will germinate in about a week.

Start cultivation

When we plant Sedum, it is best to choose the rainy season or cloudy days when the air humidity is relatively high. Place the germinated Sedum seeds in the prepared soil. The distance between each Sedum plant should be kept above 20 cm. Then cover the seedlings with a thin layer of soil and press it gently. After that, water it thoroughly.

Post-maintenance

After planting, we need to keep the soil moist, generally spraying water every two to three days. The Sedum seedlings will be able to resume normal growth in about three days. At this time, we can place the Sedum in an environment with scattered sunlight, but be careful not to make the light too strong, otherwise the Sedum seedlings will be sunburned.
