Sedum Orange Glow is a drought-tolerant succulent in the Crassulaceae family, native to Mexico where it grows on rocky, sun-drenched slopes. It forms compact rosettes and clusters that work equally well as a houseplant or garden accent, growing on minimal water and bright light.
The leaves are plump and banana-shaped, clustering and trailing as the plant matures. Color shifts from soft green to copper-orange in bright sun, with the intensity deepening as light exposure increases. It develops a cascading habit that spills over pot edges. 
It produces small, star-shaped yellow blooms on slender stems during its flowering season. The flowers add subtle contrast against the orange foliage, though the plant remains ornamental even without blooms. 
Move it outside in summer to a sunny spot, providing shelter from prolonged heavy rain to prevent root rot. It handles the dry, heated air of indoor environments well and can go up to ten days without water. Rotate it regularly for even, symmetrical growth, and keep it away from direct AC or heater vents. The trailing growth makes it excellent for hanging baskets, and it is non-toxic to cats and dogs.

Sedum Orange Glow grows in bright indirect light to full direct sun, with leaf color intensifying most in direct sun exposure. 
Water it every 10-14 days in summer and every 3-4 weeks in winter, always letting the soil dry completely between waterings. 
Sedum 'Orange Glow' grows best in a fast-draining cactus and succulent mix blended with coarse perlite or pumice for extra drainage. 
It prefers temperatures between 60-80°F and should be protected from frost below 25°F. Sedum 'Orange Glow' is a moderate grower that benefits from a balanced, diluted succulent fertilizer once monthly during spring and summer.
It is hardy in USDA zones 9-11, tolerating minimum temperatures down to around 25°F before frost damage occurs. It grows outdoors year-round in California, Texas, Arizona, Florida, Hawaii, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, and Nevada. It also grows along the mild Oregon and Washington coasts, in parts of New Mexico, and in protected microclimates throughout zone 9 regions nationwide.
