Phedimus spurius aka Caucasian Stonecrop

Even if you don't have a green thumb, you can successfully care for Caucasian Stonecrop due to its easy-going nature.

Caucasian Stonecrop does best in dry soil and should only be watered sparingly.

When growing the Caucasian Stonecrop, it's important to use a potting soil that is well-draining and does not retain excessive moisture. An optimal soil mix should contain a high proportion of perlite or vermiculite for good drainage and some organic matter for nourishment. Simply add a few scoops of perlite to regular cactus soil to achieve this.

Caucasian Stonecrop thrives in bright and direct sunlight. To ensure your plant receives enough light to survive, place it less than one foot from a window. The current weather in your area may affect the placement in your home. For example, if you live in a region that has longer and more intense periods of sunlight, then you may want to place the plant farther away from the window to avoid direct sunlight and reduce the risk of sunburn. Alternatively, if you live in a region with relatively milder temperatures and less intense sunlight, then you may be able to place the plant closer to the window for increased exposure. Ultimately, the current weather in your area should be taken into consideration when determining the best placement for your False Stonecrop.

Caucasian Stonecrop is poisonous if ingested. We suggest keeping this plant out of reach if you have children, cats, or dogs in the home.

Caucasian Stonecrop plants thrive in dry environments, however, if you choose to provide extra humidity or mist your plant, the lingering water on the leaves can create an ideal environment for certain types of harmful fungi.

Caucasian Stonecrop’s native range is Eastern Europe and Asia.
