Can anyone help me identify this plant? Planta says golden sedum however the coloration is different in the photo it showed me so I’m not sure. Thank you!

It does look like a golden sedum. Not all of them grow exactly the same. Some of them grow like this.

Oh wow okay thank you! What soil do you use?

#### Sypher replied on 2024-05-05

I use the soil that’s meant for succulents.

And make sure you use liquid fertilizer. The one I use is miracle grow.

I agree with Sypher! I wanted to add, the colors will come out more in the sun (and with maturity) so they will be more muted like you are seeing when they are in lower light and young.

Also, for all succulents, the succulent soil needs to stay dry most of the time so the roots don’t rot. Just water when the lower leaf isn’t as plump. Then it will suck that water up, refill its leaves, and the dirt should be dry again. It stores water in its leaves like water balloons so it doesn’t need to store water in the soil.
