Golden Glow Sedum, botanically listed as Sedum adolphi, is a live succulent plant selected for its distinctive form and ornamental appeal. Natural color, size, form, and presentation may vary slightly with season, maturity, and growing conditions.
Sedum adolphi, commonly referred to as Golden Glow, is a vibrant and attractive succulent that brings a splash of color to any garden or indoor space. Below is a detailed overview of its morphological characteristics, growth habits, maintenance points, and reproduction methods:
Morphological Characteristics
- Leaves: Sedum adolphi sports fleshy, spoon-shaped leaves that are a striking green color, turning golden to bright orange or even reddish under full sun or during cooler winter months. The leaves are arranged in rosettes and can create a dense, bushy appearance as the plant matures.
- Size: It can grow up to 20-30 cm (8-12 inches) tall and spreads outwards, forming clumps.
- Flowers: In spring, it produces star-shaped, white to slightly yellow flowers on tall, arching inflorescences, adding further appeal to its already colorful foliage.
Growth Habits
- Light: Prefers full sun to partial shade. Bright sunlight encourages the leaves to develop their characteristic golden color.
- Temperature: It is somewhat frost-resistant but does best in temperatures above freezing. In regions with cold winters, it is best grown as a houseplant or brought indoors during the colder months.
- Water: Like most succulents, Sedum adolphi requires minimal watering. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot.
Maintenance Points
- Soil: Well-draining soil is crucial. A cactus or succulent potting mix is ideal.
- Pot: If growing in containers, ensure pots have good drainage holes to avoid water accumulation.
- Fertilizer: Feeding is not necessary, but a light application of a succulent fertilizer during the growing season can promote growth and flowering.
- Pruning: Pruning is rarely needed but can be done to shape the plant or remove any damaged or diseased leaves.
Reproduction Method
- Leaf cuttings: The simplest way to propagate Sedum adolphi is through leaf cuttings. Gently twist a leaf from the stem, let it callous over for a few days, and then place it on top of soil. Roots and a new plant will eventually form.
- Stem cuttings: Similar to leaf cuttings, stem cuttings can be made by cutting a stem, allowing it to callous over, and then planting it in soil. This method often results in quicker growth compared to leaf cuttings.
- Offsets: As the plant matures, it may produce small offsets around the base, which can be carefully removed and replanted to start new plants.
- Seeds: While not the most common method, Sedum adolphi can also be grown from seeds. Sow seeds in well-draining soil and keep moist until germination.
Sedum adolphi's colorful foliage and low maintenance requirements make it a popular choice for succulent gardens, rockeries, and as a container plant. Its ease of care and vibrant coloration are especially appealing to both novice and experienced gardeners alike.

She starts the book off fairly amusing and relateable with an excellent depiction of anxiety and paranoia
Format: Paperback
This was actually a 3.5 star read for me, but the more I pondered it over the two-day span between finishing it and reviewing it, I realized it wasn't quite remarkable enough for me to round up.
Here We Are Now tells the story of Taliah, a biracial white/Arabic teen who's never met her father. She's only working on an educated guess that he might be Julian Oliver, rockstar sensationalist, when the man shows up at her door one day to tell her that her assumptions were correct - and he wants to take her to meet his family, including his dying father.
Tal isn't the most enjoyable narrator in the beginning of the story. She starts the book off fairly amusing and relateable with an excellent depiction of anxiety and paranoia, but those feelings quickly morph into a level of snark and distrust that's not pleasant to read through. Despite the fact that Julian's entire existence points blatantly to a million lies Tal's mother has fed her throughout her life, Tal refuses to place any blame on her mother.
The nice thing about Taliah, however, is how much she grows; throughout the story, through a handful of "tough love" scenarios from multiple friends and family members, she learns that life isn't as black and white as she thinks it is. She grows to slowly trust people and open up, and is forced to come to terms with her unhealthy level of possessiveness over her best friend, Harlow.
The most unexpected thing about Here We Are Now was how quickly and how much I fell in love with Tal's father, Julian. From the opening of the story, I honestly expected him to be this flighty, dirtbag sort of stereotypical rockstar who would show up, get her hopes up, and then shatter her dreams a few times before disappearing again at the end of the book. That is totally not Julian at all, though.
From the beginning, he's awkward, uncertain, and a little bit shy about learning he's Taliah's father. I won't spoil the fine details for you, but we learn that Julian hasn't been half bad enough to deserve some of the events of the past, and he's actually a pretty well-meaning guy. His banter with Tal is so enjoyable, and I loved the way the we got to see the past through his memories, but they were written in Lena's (Tal's mother) perspectives.
Harlow is Tal's childhood best friend, who happens to be a lesbian. I loved the idea of Harlow to bits: she's obsessed with baking, she's sassy, she's proud of her sexuality, and she's got a good head on her shoulders. Unfortunately, her actual interactions with Tal and the other characters in the story are cringe-y most of the time, and her "tough love" spiel about not relying on only one person would have been a lot better if it hadn't been laced with her breaking a promise to Tal so she could hang out with her girlfriend.
The romance in this book was one hundred percent the biggest disappointment in the entire story. It felt so incredibly lackluster and out of place that I probably would have rounded up to 4 stars if I could have somehow gone through and edited out the entire existence of this friend-of-the-family character. He's not a bad kid, but it would be so nice to see a YA contemporary every now and then that doesn't end in a couple forming, and this book would have been perfect for that! Totally a missed opportunity.
First of all, I am not Muslim - or religious at all - and I cannot speak for how good this rep was. I do know, however, that Jasmine Warga identifies as a Middle Eastern/American woman, so the POC rep is own-voice and was so enjoyable to read. Tal's mother's perspectives frequently reflect on her Muslim beliefs and family, as well as how incredibly homesick she is for Jordan. She frets constantly that she is letting her parents down if she doesn't make a name for herself in the States, and there is even a solid bit of conversation about hijab-wearing and eating habits!
Of course, there is also the lesbian rep that I mentioned in Harlow's case, which I found really enjoyable. Harlow is out and proud and has no questions about her sexuality. There are no tropes, or painful moments we commonly see through queer characters in YA contemporary titles.
All in all, Here We Are Now was a fun read, but nothing spectacular. Had it not been for the romantic aspect, I would have given this 4 stars, but it was such a downer that I couldn't justify rounding up the rating. If you're looking for a fun YA contemporary story about family, with some nice diverse representation thrown in, or if you're already a Jasmine Warga fan, I'd recommend picking it up.

A very witty and heartwarming story for everyone...
Format: Hardcover
Wow, Pamplemousse! I think this book found me at the right time in my life. Here We Are Now is short and expands over a few days, but I also enjoyed that flashbacks of the main character’s parents falling in and out love is littered throughout the pages. I really connected with the main character Taliah, who is definitely a hard shell to crack. But I loved that although she is sarcastic, smart, and funny, she also holds a tight rope around her emotions. She is cautious with letting people in, but I liked that her journey to meet her father and his family for the very first time, opens up her world to new challenges and emotional breakthroughs.
I don’t want to give too much away in regards to the plot, because it is very straight forward and well-focused on Taliah, a teenager, meeting her father, a well-known rock star, for the very first time. And throughout the pages, Taliah pushes herself to open up to her dad, discover unknown information about her mom, and meet her long lost family. And importantly she matures and discovers things about herself.
Here We Are Now is very straight-forward and focuses a lot on modern day scenarios, such as familial conflicts, diversity, biracial relationships, and tough love. I found myself laughing a lot during this book, because these characters are so witty and heartwarming. But there are also some parts that are heartbreaking, and these moments are so raw and gritty and realistic. In the end, I liked that the conclusion of this book leaves the characters wide open for new possibilities and room to grow, instead of a simple “happily ever after” ending.

Nostalgic and Authentic
Format: Hardcover
As an adult reader, I don't read a ton of YA these days, but I love picking up one now and then that speaks to me the way so many of my favorite books did when I was of a certain wide-eyed age. This one rang true -- in the character searching for who she really is as she comes into her own, overcoming relatable anxieties and changing for the better along the way. Would gladly gift a copy to the young readers in my life -- particularly those who love music.

Nice fun read
Format: Hardcover
I feel like this is a good book to read in-between reading deeper, more thoughtful books. I enjoyed it but it could have been better if the author left out a couple of characters and added more depth to others.
