Sedum adolphi

The coppertone stonecrop grows best when it gets abundant light for most of the day. It can, however, adjust to conditions with less sunlight. Its native habitat provides similar light exposure. Excessive light can scorch the leaves, while insufficient light results in weak stems and faded foliage.

Coppertone stonecrop favors its native conditions with warm to hot temperatures between 68℉ and 100℉ (20℃ to 38℃). They can tolerate even higher summer heat if given partial shade to avoid heat stress. In winter, it is recommended to place them in a cooler spot with temperatures near 50℉ to 60℉ (10℃ to 15℃) to promote dormancy and improve growth the following spring.

This plant will thrive in moderate humidity, which is probably the level in your home. However, misting it a few times a week can be very beneficial. Make sure the room has good ventilation.

Coppertone stonecrop only needs light fertilizer applications once or twice a year during the growing season. Do not fertilize in winter or summer when it is dormant. Cut back on fertilizer for plants that have been repotted and wait a couple of months after repotting before feeding. Fertilizing helps maintain healthy growth and promotes blooms.

When repotting Coppertone stonecrop, choose a pot slightly larger than the current one that provides good drainage. Use a gritty, well-draining cactus or succulent mix. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, brush off excess soil, and plant it at the same depth. Wait several days before watering so any root damage can heal. Repot in spring or fall and place the plant in a brightly lit spot.
