Description
Sedum Mickey Variegated – 80mm
Sedum Mickey Variegated is a charming collector succulent valued for its compact habit and attractive variegated foliage. Variegation gives the leaves additional visual interest, creating contrast between the green portions and lighter areas of the foliage.
Small variegated Sedums are particularly useful in succulent collections because they provide colour and texture without requiring a large amount of space. Sedum Mickey can be displayed individually in a decorative pot or combined with other succulents to create a miniature garden with contrasting shapes and colours.
The 80mm pot size is ideal for adding this unusual variety to a windowsill, balcony or patio collection.
Light and Position
Provide bright light to maintain healthy growth and attractive variegation. Some gentle direct sunlight can be beneficial once the plant has acclimatised.
In Brisbane, a position receiving morning sun with protection from intense afternoon heat can work well. If the plant has previously been grown in a sheltered environment, gradually increase its exposure to direct sunlight.
A bright indoor position may also be suitable, although sufficient natural light is important to prevent weak or stretched growth.
Watering
Sedum Mickey Variegated is a succulent and should be allowed to dry between waterings. Its fleshy foliage stores moisture, so frequent watering is unnecessary.
When the potting mix has dried, water thoroughly and allow the excess water to drain completely. Avoid leaving the pot sitting in a saucer of water.
During humid weather or periods of heavy rainfall, be particularly careful not to add unnecessary water.
Soil and Drainage
A free-draining succulent or cactus mix is ideal. The container should have adequate drainage holes so that excess water can escape quickly.
Good airflow around the plant is also beneficial in Brisbane’s humid climate.
A Beautiful Variegated Sedum
Sedum Mickey Variegated is a great choice for anyone who enjoys collecting unusual succulents. Its variegated foliage provides a welcome change from plain green Sedums and works beautifully alongside Echeverias, Crassulas, Pachyphytums and other compact plants.
