What it is: This listing is sold as Sedum 'Rupestre Angelina'. NC State Extension lists it as Petrosedum rupestre 'Angelina' (previously Sedum rupestre), grown for spiky yellow leaves that can turn red-orange in cold weather.

Light: Give it bright, direct light from a sunny window, or a grow bulb; NC State Extension says sedums are easy to grow indoors with bright direct light from a window or a grow light, and most kinds want sun to part sun outdoors. Use a coarse, well-drained cactus mix such as our succulent and cacti soil (NC State Extension).

Watering & care: Allow the mix to dry out between waterings, and avoid wet or poorly drained conditions, which can cause rot (NC State Extension). Empty any saucer so the pot does not sit in water. In winter, water less often, especially on tender houseplant kinds.

Humidity: Average household air is usually fine. These succulents tolerate dry soil and do not need extra humidity (NC State Extension).

Temperature: NC State Extension lists Petrosedum rupestre 'Angelina' (formerly Sedum rupestre) in USDA zones 5a to 9b. That may be warmer than a typical Alberta winter, so a well-drained container you can protect from hard frost is the cautious approach unless you already know your plant is hardy in your garden.

Winter indoors: If you bring a pot indoors, give it a bright, cool window or a grow bulb, water less often, and keep it off cold glass.

Expected indoor size: NC State Extension describes 'Angelina' as 4 to 6 inches tall and 1 to 2 feet wide. A plant in a pot is often in that same low range. Leaf colour (chartreuse, turning red-orange in cold weather) varies with light and season.

Feeding: Feed sparingly in the growing season with our Cactus Fertilizer, and ease off in winter.

Pets & pests: NC State Extension notes that the sap can irritate the skin of some people, and that leaves eaten in quantity can cause stomach upsets. We do not have an ASPCA listing for this plant, so we are not calling it pet-safe. Leaves fall off easily and can be used to start new plants; slugs and snails can appear, and wet soil causes problems (NC State Extension).

About your plant: Every plant is a little different. Size, fullness and leaf count vary from plant to plant and change with age and light, so we can't promise a particular stem length, leaf count or leaf colour. The options listed (4") refer to the pot or container size. They do not guarantee an exact stem length, leaf count or leaf colour. Photos show typical plants from our greenhouse, not the specific plant you will receive. The shared gallery image shows other Sedum as inspiration.
