Signs of Cold Stress in Carpet sedum
Symptoms
Carpet sedum flourishes in warm conditions and cannot withstand low temperatures. Optimal growth occurs when the temperature exceeds 65℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 50℉. If the temperature drops below 32℉, the plant may weaken, droop, and become susceptible to root decay. Minor frost damage might not show immediate signs, but the plant will progressively decline after about a week.
Solutions
Remove any frost-damaged sections, checking for root rot. If roots are rotted, trim them and consider propagating new plants from cuttings. Promptly relocate the plant indoors to a warm spot, positioning it near a south-facing window for abundant light. If natural light is insufficient, provide supplementary illumination.
Signs of Heat Stress in Carpet sedum
Symptoms
In summer, Carpet sedum should be kept below 75℉. When temperatures surpass 85℉, the plant's development will halt, it will lose moisture, wilt, and become more vulnerable to sun damage.
Solutions
Discard any sunburnt or decayed portions. Protect the plant from intense afternoon sun until it recovers and resumes growth. For plants with root rot, cease watering until new roots start to form.
