Sedum pachyphyllum Koigokoro
Place in a sunny location. If possible, it is advisable to move the plant outdoors during the summer.
Always water a few days after the substrate has dried out. Reduce watering in winter.
It can withstand temperatures as low as -6.7 °C for short periods. However, the plant is not frost-resistant.
This cultivar maintains denser and more symmetrical growth, giving it a "fluffier" appearance.
Sedum pachyphyllum Koigokoro is a cultivated form derived from Sedum pachyphyllum, distinguished by its shorter and more compact leaves compared to the standard form. This gives the plant a denser and neater overall appearance.
The leaves are light green to bluish green, thick and fleshy, with a fine waxy coating. They are club-shaped, shorter, rounded, and finished with blunt tips that may take on subtle reddish tones under good light. Older leaves naturally dry and fall away as the stems gradually become woody. The plant forms a small, upright to slightly branching succulent shrub.
The flowers are yellow and star-shaped, borne on upright flowering stems. Flowering is not the main feature of this cultivar, which is primarily valued for its compact growth and distinctive leaf shape.
Sedum pachyphyllum Koigokoro prefers a well-draining substrate and a bright position. Watering should be moderate and only after the substrate has dried out. The plant responds well to rejuvenation pruning and is easily propagated from stem cuttings. It is an undemanding stonecrop suitable even for less experienced growers.
