Sedum compressum

Palmer's sedum needs a large amount of sunlight to remain healthy and to grow. Its natural habitat is open locations where it can receive abundant sun. It performs best with plenty of light at every stage of development. However, excessive sun exposure can damage the plant and scorch the leaves, while too little light can cause stretched, pale growth.

Palmer's sedum is naturally suited to a moderate climate and does best in temperatures between 59 and 95 °F (15 and 35 ℃). It tolerates summer heat well; however, in winter you should provide some warmth to prevent damage.

For Palmer's sedum, apply light amounts of fertilizer once or twice a year during the growing season. Refrain from fertilizing in winter or during summer dormancy. Cut back on fertilizer for repotted plants and wait a couple of months after repotting before you feed them. Fertilizing promotes healthy growth and encourages blooms.
