Type of Mexican stonecrop, which mainly novice collectors so little head-turner. At least I did it happen dike similarities to another Mexican species. But first things first, in that we confess. Type of Sedum palmeri I received not even know where their collections. In the outdoor location type grew very well and soon began to form a relatively compact, richly branching clump gently sukuletních rosettes to 10 cm long stems. Until I got myself a copy, I knew only Sedum palmeri from the collection of John gratis, as a plant with long, branching, leafless stems, each with one terminal rosette. Had no choice than to reach for the literature and find out as it really is. Luckily I got in a short time and Sedum obcordatum, so I was able to compare different plants.

Guanajuato, Nuevo Leon, San Luis Potosi, Tamaulipas - Mexico.
The R 1981 Clausen closely allied species are similar and Sedum palmeri Sedum compressum. If you stand next to each plant, a closer examination you will find small differences and mutual transitions between the two species, so in some cases gives the impression that it is the reciprocal hybrids. And so it seems to go separate polymorfický (multiform) species.

Sedum palmeri - the kind found in the overhanging stonecrop areas of northeastern Mexico. Relatively thin frosted, light green leaves are alternate, and forming a cluster at the end of the bare, arched, 20 cm long stem. Yellow flowers appear in late winter, early spring. Uneven sepaly much longer than the petals. Bright orange-yellow petals are pointed and convergent to a sharp spike.

The flowering season is at peak vegetative Sedum palmeri from continuing terminal inflorescence. In the axils of the inflorescence develops some new sheets from which the plant continues to grow. The new terminal stem pushes inflorescence terminal side, the plant continues to grow next to a flower, which gives the impression that the flowers are not terminal but lateral.

This type is suitable for cold greenhouse, porch or window sill.
It is best grown in hanging baskets, allowing the plant to grow their rich overhanging stems. Although all forms are slightly frost, but temperatures falling below -5 ° C already can not cope. The plant produces rich overhanging vegetation, making it suitable for growing in window pots, stone troughs and garden containers. Sedum palmeri survive low temperature if kept dry. In winter it umístníme in cold room and hold for several weeks without watering. If they grow at room temperature, keep the substrate slightly vlhký.V summer plants indulge plenty of sun and tolerates vláhy.Výborně cut, top each steak very well and the plant roots readily reflected, which is achieved by dense vegetation.

Sedum palmeri is not low enough toplotám obocordatum tolerant as Sedum, which is similar especially Sedum palmeri ssp emarginatum which has oval leaves intermittently topped hort. These two species could be confused with each other. Sedum obcordatum, unlike Sedum palmeri protistojné leaves, larger flowers, shorter and thinner stems.

Vystoupavé, and then arched stems up to 0.5 mm thick, ending in thin, covered in bloom, spirally tion through native leaves and lateral inflorescences are the main determinant of Sedum palmeri characters.

Like others, we should mention Sedum palmeri ssp rubromarginatum, widely rounded leaves culminating point. Sheet edges are colored red or red line.

Pointed, widely tipped with round leaves and red hues are Sedum palmeri ssp rubromarginatum determining characters.

Sedum is much compressum robusnější plant with thick stems and compact growth. When I had the opportunity to stand side by side both rosltiny, Sedum palmeri Sedum compressum and the differences between the two plants obvious. Stalks are - + 10 cm long, thick, up to 1 cm in diameter. The plant is very much odožující. Average leaf rosette reaches 8cm, silvery leaves are frosted.
