Banana Sedum

Banana Sedum (Sedum rubens)

Banana Sedum, also known as Sedum rubens, is a unique succulent with thick, fleshy, banana-shaped leaves that are a light green color. When exposed to full sunlight, the plant develops a yellow to orange tint, giving it a tropical feel. It has a compact, trailing growth habit, making it an excellent choice for containers, hanging baskets, or ground cover.

Care Tips:

Light: Prefers full sun to partial shade. Exposure to full sun enhances the yellow-orange coloration on the leaves.

Water: Water moderately and allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. It is drought-tolerant and can withstand dry conditions.

Soil: Requires well-draining soil. A cactus or succulent mix works best to ensure proper drainage.

Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 60°F to 85°F (15°C to 29°C). It is not frost-tolerant, so bring it indoors during the colder months.

Propagation: Easily propagated from stem cuttings. Allow cuttings to callous before planting in well-draining soil.

Uses: Ideal for containers, hanging baskets, and ground cover. Its compact growth and vibrant colors make it an excellent addition to succulent gardens, rock gardens, and decorative arrangements.
