Coppertone sedum — archived plan

Archived September 20, 2026. Seller cancellation confirmed September 21; no charge. This plant was never received. The September 19 botanical research and proposed care remain here as an abandoned plan, outside the active collection. See the old-plan overview.

Former inventory allocation: Succulent-12 — probable Sedum adolphi; seller name “Sedum Coppertone”
Physical-label allocation: none — withdrawn
Tracker allocation: none — withdrawn
Status: Archived — never received; canceled 2026-09-21
Visual description: Reference plants have fleshy pointed leaves around spreading stems, with yellow-green foliage that can become orange or copper in stronger light.
Interesting fact: Coppertone describes the familiar foliage color, but orange color alone does not establish a particular cultivar or species identification.
Identification: seller-labeled Coppertone sedum; Sedum adolphi is a probable working identification, not independently confirmed
Ordered from: The Succulent Cult through Amazon; order screenshot supplied 2026-09-19
Order status: Seller cancellation confirmed 2026-09-21; no charge. Former estimated delivery: October 1, 2026.
Advertised container: Seller lists a rooted starter in a 2-inch nursery pot
Former proposed pot: Owner-designated shared decorated Amazon Basics 8-inch white polypropylene pot with drainage, in Molly's Succulent Mix

The decorated pot was a separate purchase. Its later use is described in the equipment inventory.

Names and identity

Kind	Name
Exact seller wording	Sedum Coppertone
Working botanical name	Probable Sedum adolphi
Common name	Coppertone stonecrop / Coppertone sedum
Related trade wording	Sedum nussbaumerianum appears in Coppertone horticultural usage
Origin of working species	Mexico; the individual plant's nursery origin is unverified

Singapore's National Parks Board treats Coppertone stonecrop under Sedum adolphi. Its description of pointed fleshy leaves, low spreading stems, and copper coloration is consistent with the seller's intended plant. The order does not provide a species epithet, and no diagnostic collection photograph is available. The working identification remains probable, with no evidence for a named selection such as 'Firestorm'.

Former shared-container plan

The abandoned shared-pot plan grouped Cubic Frost, Coppertone, Deminuta, and Ruby Slippers in one decorated eight-inch pot. Nanouk was planned separately.

Proposed care — archived research

Topic	Practical starting approach
Light	Give this component clear light toward the brighter side of the shared arrangement. The intended table area was reported at approximately 18–22 estimated DLI; no final shared-pot leaf-height reading exists. More orange is not itself a reason to raise lamp power.
Water	NParks recommends allowing the medium to dry between waterings and avoiding persistently wet stems and roots. Apply that to the shared root volume, with the collection's watering strategy, rather than watering for foliage color.
Growth	Place spreading shoots where they can extend without covering the smaller rosettes. Check shared-container compatibility as the plants develop instead of assuming all four will stay starter-sized.
Mix and drainage	Molly's Succulent Mix and the drainage pot are owner-selected. Keep the outlet clear; airflow does not establish that the interior root zone has dried.
Shared care	All four plants would share one root volume and watering pattern; individual leaf condition would still matter.

Reference watch points

The NParks species reference describes a low succulent subshrub with white flowers and notes that excess moisture can contribute to stem rot. Stems, leaf arrangement, and flowers would be useful identification features for a future specimen.

For this arrangement, crowding or a stretching stem is a reason to assess the affected component's position. It is not automatically evidence that all four plants need more water or brighter light.
