Cleaning: planting and care
The plant can be sown and grown asflowerbed in the garden, and on the room window sill. For active growth at home, the bush needs high-quality lighting. Optimal place - the south window sill. On the north side of the house, the plant will quickly lose its presentability and species characteristics.
The humidity of the air for cleaning does not matter, so this point of care will not cause any special problems. What can not be said about the others:
Watering. For the sedum, the rule "it is better not to top up than pour over" is effective. In the period of active growth, soil moistening should be regular, but moderate. With the onset of autumn, watering is reduced, and in winter, the rest is excluded almost completely, ie. The plant perfectly winters, even when the frosts are raging.
Top dressing. Within six months - from March to August - a special fertilizing compound "for cacti" should be applied monthly to the soil. The solution is prepared according to the instructions on the package. In the period from September to February, the cleanings are not fed with anything.
Temperature. Hare cabbage grows well in a wide temperature range. In summer, the plant can withstand temperatures of 28C, and in winter it feels great at 8-10C. With a warmer winter content, shoots begin to lengthen and lose their decorative appearance.
Transfer. Young individuals seduma replanted 1 time in 2 years. More adults and held copies - 1 time in 4 years. Since the plant is considered very stress-resistant, transplantation can be made at any time, even during the flowering period. The roots of the sedum are short, so the pot may be shallow. At the bottom lay drainage keramzit, ensuring the removal of excess water, then a substrate consisting of turf ground, leaf earth and sand. In some cases, when replanting in the ground, add small pieces of charcoal.
Reproduction is a purification by seeds. The process of growing from seeds begins in the spring or autumn. Seed material is sown in a shallow container, which can easily be transferred to a greenhouse for accelerated germination. Picks are made after the appearance of three full-leaf leaves on the stem.

Reproduction of scraps by cuttings. The plant sedum reproduces perfectly both leafy, and effulgent cuttings. It is desirable to plant the material immediately after cutting.

Cleansing visible: diseases and pests

If they are found, the plant is treated with a special agent called "aktelikom". In particularly wet weather, the sedum suffer from fungal diseases that leave unpresentable dark circles on the surface of the leaves.
Often at large purification can be found aphid. It is not very scary, besides it is quickly excreted by insecticides for currants. Unlike the next pest, recently brought to us from Europe. Tryps attacks the leaves and damages the tops of the stems.
Periodically, the edges of the leaves are eaten by furrowedskosar - malicious weevil, which goes to the hunt at night. Its white thick larvae damage the root system of many different plants. You can buy Yemen for about 200 rubles.
