General Growing Tips For Your Rooted Cutting Liner
For best results with Sedum Spurium Red Carpet, plant one rooted plug per 4-inch container or three to five per 10-inch container. Use well-drained succulent media with a pH of 5.8-6.2, EC of 0.6-0.9 mS/cm (2:1), temperatures of 74-79 daytime and 59-64 nighttime, and low feed (100-175 ppm N).

Before we take this relationship any further...
It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
