I have just recently gotten into gardening. I dont know very much yet so hopefully I havent totally destroyed these. I purchased some Sedum Matrona from a local nursery about 2 weeks ago and it looked really good when I got it. I have planted it in a bed next to my foundation. It gets sun about 75% of the day. Its only shaded early morning and just right before sunset.
I dug the holes about 3 times the size of the root ball, used miracle grow potting soil for shrubs and mixed it with the native soil. I put cypress mulch in the bed.
I have watered these things very thoroughly every evening right before dark spraying the leaves also.
They were fine for the first week, but a few days ago I noticed them looking like something was starting to eat at the leaves. I freaked out and bought some Bayer insect control for shrubs and mixed it and poured it into the soil around the Sedums. They started getting worse so I went out and got the Bayer spray insect control and sprayed them thoroughly.
Now I have never physically seen any bugs on these, except for a secada shell that was stuck on a leaf.
The plants seem to be getting worse, I dont want these to die. I read somewhere that you can overwater these plants, and not to water them before dark because of fungus.
I have a link to a picture below.
Can someone please help me quickly so my plants wont die :(
