Coral Reef Sedum, also known as Sedum japonicum 'Tokyo Sun', is a delightful succulent known for its charming, coral-like foliage that turns a stunning golden-yellow in bright sunlight. This low-growing plant spreads gently, making it an excellent choice for ground cover or container gardens.
Light Needs: Coral Reef Sedum thrives in full sun to partial shade. It appreciates at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily to maintain its vibrant color and compact growth. In hotter climates, some afternoon shade may be beneficial to prevent leaf scorch.
Water Needs: This succulent prefers well-draining soil to prevent root rot. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry, typically every 7-10 days during the growing season. Reduce watering in winter, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings.
Humidity Needs: Coral Reef Sedum is adaptable to normal indoor humidity levels and doesn't require specific humidity adjustments. It thrives in typical household conditions but benefits from good air circulation around its leaves.
