Culture guide
Usage
Pots, mixed containers and rock gardens
Sowing method
3-5 seeds per plug, sowing directly into final pot is recommended
Germination
Stage 1 (10-18 days)
Growing on
Transplant plugs after 4-5 weeks. Maintain temperatures of 50-65 °F (10-18 °C). Fertilize at 100 ppm nitrogen. Sedum does not require high fertilization levels.
Media
Use a well-drained, growing substrate,1-1,5 kg/m³ complete balanced fertilizer, 0-2 kg/m³ slow release fertilizer (3-9 months), iron-chelate, micronutrients, pH 5.5-7.0.
Temperature
Grow at 10-18 °C.
Fertilization
Low-moderate fertilization levels are required. Fertilize the crop weekly with 80-100 ppm nitrogen (at 2 kg/m³ slow release fertilizer in substrate), using complete balanced fertilizer.
Stage I Starts with the radicle breaking through the testa. The roots are touching the medium. Ends with fully developed cotyledons.
Stage II Starts from fully developed cotyledons. Ends with the fully developed true leaf or true leaf pair.
Stage III Starts from the fully developed true leaf or true leaf pair and ends with 80% of the young plants being marketable.
Stage IV All young plants are ready for sale and in the process of being hardened off. This stage lasts about 7 days.
The cultural recommendations are based on results from trials conducted under Central European conditions. Different conditions in other parts of the world may lead to deviations in results achieved.
