- Light Exposure: The Copper Sedum thrives in full sun to partial shade, with its copper coloring becoming more pronounced in direct sunlight. Aim for at least 6 hours of sunlight per day to maintain its vibrant hues. However, it can also adapt to lower light conditions if necessary.
- Watering Needs: This drought-tolerant plant requires minimal watering. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings to avoid root rot. In warmer months, water approximately once every 10 to 14 days. During cooler seasons, watering can be reduced to once a month.
- Soil Requirements: Plant the Copper Sedum in well-draining soil, such as a cactus or succulent mix, to prevent water retention. This plant does best in slightly sandy soils, mimicking its natural environment, and will struggle in heavy or clay-like soils.
- Temperature and Humidity: The Copper Sedum prefers warmer climates and can tolerate temperatures down to about 20°F. It does best in dry conditions and is not suited for high humidity environments, which can lead to fungal issues. The Copper Sedum thrives in USDA Hardiness Zones 9-11, tolerating temperatures as low as 20°F (-6°C). In cooler regions, this plant can be grown in containers and brought indoors during the winter months.
- Leaf Structure: The Copper Sedum features fleshy, lance-shaped leaves arranged in tight rosettes. These leaves have a unique copper-orange color that intensifies with sun exposure, providing a warm and vibrant aesthetic to any garden or container.
- Flowering: In the spring, the Copper Sedum produces small, star-shaped white or yellow flowers that grow in clusters at the tips of its stems. These delicate blooms add a soft contrast to the bold coloration of the plant's foliage. Size and Growth: This succulent grows low to the ground, typically reaching a height of 8 inches and spreading up to 24 inches in width. Its growth pattern allows it to form a dense carpet of copper-toned foliage over time.

Testimonials
Natalie"Came in perfect condition--thank you!"
Matthew"Amazing Plants! I was so happy to see these way larger than the plants pictured because I know how slow most cycads grow."
Nathaniel"This is the first time I've ever ordered plants online, so I had no idea what to expect. When I saw the description of 'comes in a 4" growers' pot' I figured I'd be getting some fairly small plants--nope! The bamboo palms were fully 2' tall from root to top leaf, and perfectly healthy. All 5 plants were VERY well secured in their box, to the point that the bottom layer was even spray-foamed to the cardboard! I couldn't ask for a better experience and I'm so excited to see these plants grow. Five stars!"
Trisha"Thrilled with my purchase! This seller went above any beyond! The packaging was very careful, the plants are so much bigger than I expected, and I was given more than what was depicted in the item description. 10/10 all round!"
R"This is SO BEAUTIFUL! Packaging was perfect and efficient, plant was in excellent condition. I'm in love with this plant and I will definitely order more."
