Sedum (Hylotelephium)
Early Spring through Fall Finish. Standard PPP. Photoperiod can be manipulated for early flowering.
One soft pinch, 1 week after liner planting. Second pinch optional. Florel at 500 ppm is also effective at increasing branching. B-9/Cycocel tank mix will control growth, however, growing plants dry will also control growth.
General pest and disease practices as listed in notes. Mildew can be problematic, treat as needed.
-Preventive fungicide recommended at transplant.
-Requires high light in production.
-Warm and slightly dry conditions after transplanting speeds root in and growth. Plant in mid-summer for fall flowering.
-Larger plants with better branching and form will occur with vernalization. To bloom earlier in the season you can manipulate the photo period.
-Pure Joy is very compact and should not be finished in 2 gallon containers, use 8 inch or smaller sizes.
-Can be sold in spring through fall, but won't flower until late summer to early fall.
-Avoid over watering - extended periods of wet soil will be detrimental.
-In very high light environments, such as southern California, they may need up to 30 percent shade to protect against sun scorch.
