Sedum hispanicum, also called Blue Carpet, is a succulent native to southern Europe and northern Africa. This low-growing plant forms dense mats, covering ground with its blue-green foliage.
Its small, plump leaves are often blue-green, sometimes taking on reddish or purplish tints in direct sun. The foliage grows in a compact habit. Rotate it regularly for even growth to ensure symmetrical development.
Sedum hispanicum produces small, star-shaped white flowers in late spring to early summer. It needs a night temperature drop to bloom effectively. It produces pollen, which can affect individuals with allergies.
You can leave it up to ten days without water. It is pet-friendly. It tolerates dry heated air indoors and grows well under office LED lighting. Move Sedum hispanicum outside for summer, handling balcony wind and rain, but it needs cover from heavy rain.

Provide porous soil with adequate drainage, pots with drainage hole are recommended. Bright, filtered
light and ample airflow. Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Never let your succulents sit in water. Do
NOT water on the leaves. If you water from beneath by letting the plant sit in a saucer of water, make sure to pour
off any excess water after a few minutes.
The hotter it is outside, the faster your soil will dry out, so you’ll need to water more often if you live in a hot
area. Water with caution in winter, as the plant can lose its roots if the soil stays cold and wet for extended
periods; protect from frost to prevent scarring.
