Sedum humifusum

If you are looking for a real thumbnail, rather than purchase a teddy bear, raccoon, but Sedum humifusum. Rather mechovitý kind of peppers coming from Mexico. The vegetation is very dense, and stems produce only a few mm large, taškovitě growing leaves and bright yellow flowers. Each stem carries one flower. This species comes from the eastern Guanajuato, from relatively dry sites up to in the 2000 meters. This species is similar to Sedum compactum, but it has white flowers.

Growing while respecting several principles is difficult. The successful growth of just a small shallow bowl with good drainage and irrigation soaking. The root system is very gentle and tolerate waterlogging, therefore, always let the substrate dry out before re-potting, but watch out for přeschnutí. The plant is very poorly recovering. I am the sedum in hot summer days almost dry. Lessons of experience, now I leave the bowl in the shade the window sill, which complies with the herb.

Nevertheless, the literature suggests that this type of frost, it's not completely true. In our conditions, can handle a few cold days in absolute dry. Putting the rock could mean the loss of plants, especially during prolonged frost. If we wanted to experiment with this stonecrop resistance against cold, and preferably in a cool, well ventilated, dry environment hotbed or greenhouse.

Just the write-up article, I said to myself, ... what, I actually have it? Humifusum is really so small that he can get a small bowl, if you do not have eyes, they simply do not know where it currently is, so it continually emerges among other succulents and occasional přemistňováním pots again disappear for some time.
