The Plant Lady SF Sedum multiceps

That is completely normal behavior. This plant enters a dormant phase during the summer months, causing its rosettes to tightly close to conserve moisture. It will open back up once its active winter growth cycle begins.

Yes, it has a unique growth cycle. Because it is active in the winter and dormant in the summer, you should adjust your watering schedule to match its cycle—watering more during the winter and significantly reducing water during the summer dormancy.

It is relatively straightforward if you respect its specific dormancy needs. Like most succulents, it requires bright, direct light and well-draining soil, but the key is to avoid overwatering during its summer dormant period.

With the right light conditions, it can produce delicate flowers in late spring or early summer. Keep in mind that this bloom period happens just before it enters its summer dormancy, so don't be alarmed if the plant looks like it's retreating shortly after flowering.

It arrives in a 4-inch pot and maintains a compact, miniature tree-like form, making it an excellent choice for windowsills, desks, or small shelves. It is a slow grower, so it won't quickly outgrow its space.
