Sedum rupestre f. cristata
Sedum rupestre f. cristata is an unusual crested form of Sedum Ruprestre that develops into large brain like clusters to 20cm across. It Is relatively slow growing, does not like to be overwatered, and can be kept dry for long periods. Water only when completely dry and showing signs of stress.
This plant will rot if overwatered, but can be saved if you catch it quick enough. Just cut off the healthy growth, allow to callous and then place on a tray of potting mix. Never plant in the medium. Does best laying on top. It forms roots quickly even putting out areal roots on a growing plant but again never plant just lay on top of mix to propagate.
Grows well in full sun to partial shade but protection from the hot afternoon summer sun is advised as it will burn when dry.
Sometimes this plant will produce thin growth stems. These are reversions to the original form and should be cut off to maintain the desired crested form.

Succulents naturally change in colour, size and form throughout the year. Many develop richer colours and more compact growth during periods of seasonal stress, particularly through cooler months and brighter conditions, while warmer or lower-light conditions may produce greener, softer growth.
The plant you receive may therefore vary from the product images depending on the season, its stage of growth and current growing conditions. These natural variations are part of the character of living plants and do not affect their quality or health.
