Phedimus stoloniferus

Phedimusy growers are among its supporters and opponents. They are mostly species on markedly expansive sunny habitats. The exception among them is Sedum stolonifeum (Phedimus stoloniferus), small, spread plant with sweet pink flowers. This kind of maybe you love everyone who sees it. Unfortunately, the species is in cultivation is relatively rare.

Unfortunately, this kind of commercial companies are often confused with Sedum or Sedum hybridum spurium. The two latter species are, however, in comparison with Sedum stoloniferum, robusnějšího much slower growth, trailing fleshy stems and large, succulent leaves. Also, the color of flowers of Sedum stoloniferum is unique. At a time when I got the plant, began nasozovat buds. I was surprised by their slightly pink color.

When comparing plant Sedum stoloniferum and the already mentioned two other species stoloniferum is at first glance leaves small, dark brown-red stems, which are first erect, later decumbent. It is a miniature from the phedimusy.

Likewise, different place for cultivation. Sedum stoloniferum required for successful cultivation fundamentally shadow! Hates sunny habitat and vegetation during drought. The winter requires protection against winter waterlogging. The ideal plant is planted in a shady place in the higher sklace stones, over which in winter we put the glass table and we protect the plant.
