Cultivate stonecrop as a houseplant - you should pay attention to this
The stonecrop, also known as sedum or stonecrop, not only thrives in the garden and on the balcony, but also lends itself well to the houseplant. In this article you will find numerous tips and hints for a successful attitude of Fetthennen.
Suitable Fetthennen species for the room culture
The following table gives you a good overview of the sedum species that are particularly suitable for a room culture.
Location and substrate
Above all, it is important to have a bright, as sunny as possible location, where the plant can enjoy full sunshine mainly in the morning and in the evening. Only at lunchtime is shading useful. Succulent soil is suitable as a substrate, as the fat hen is one of the thick-leaf plants.
Maintaining the fat hen: pour, fertilize, cut
Since the stonecrop can store water in its leaves, it tolerates dry periods very well. Also, the plant is very sensitive to high humidity, which is why you should regularly, but only slightly pour in the growing season. It is sufficient to moisten the substrate easily. Also during the growing season, you should provide your potted hens, cultured in pots, with liquid cactus fertilizer about every eight weeks. In the winter break is not fertilized. In spring, you can cut down dried or unsightly shoots to 2/3 of their length, the plant then drives out again.
Hive fat hen in the apartment
In the growing season, the stonecrop feels comfortable in a sunny and warm location, but in winter it needs a rest period of three months. It spends it best at temperatures between five and ten degrees Celsius, which you should rarely (and little!) Pour and should not fertilize at all.
Tips
Instead of in the apartment, you can also cultivate sedum on the balcony all year round.
