They are valued for easy propagation from cuttings, a practical way to renew taller plants or make new arrangements. Shape and colours depend on the cultivar and growing conditions. It is useful to distinguish natural stem growth from stretching caused by too little light.

General Sedeveria care

• Light: provide plenty of light and some direct sun after gradual acclimatisation. If gaps between leaves widen and growth looks weak, review the light levels.
• Watering: let the compost dry before watering again. Allow water to drain away completely and avoid standing water in the pot. Water less often in cold weather or when growth slows.
• Compost: use a light, free-draining succulent mix in a pot with drainage holes.
• Temperature: protect from frost and prolonged rain. Cold tolerance varies between cultivars.
• Propagation: use a clean tool to take stem cuttings and let the cut heal before planting in free-draining compost. Water sparingly while new roots form.
