watering
Stonecrop (Hylotelephium 'Herbstfreude'AUTUMN JOY) should be watered moderately, allowing time for the soil to dry out between watering. During the warmer months, the soil should be checked regularly and watered when it begins to dry out. During the cooler months, water only when the soil is dry. Try to avoid over-watering as it can lead to root rot.
sunlight
Stonecrop (Hylotelephium 'Herbstfreude' AUTUMN JOY) needs 6 to 8 hours of sunlight each day. The sunlight should be as full and direct as possible, typically between late morning and late afternoon. During the hottest months of the summer, the plant can handle even more hours of direct sunlight as long as it gets some shade in the mid-afternoon. During the winter, it should get some indirect sunlight as well, so it doesn’t get too cold.
pruning
Stonecrop (Hylotelephium "Herbstfreude' AUTUMN JOY) is a low-maintenance succulent that requires minimal pruning. Pruning should be done in late winter to early spring, before new growth begins. This is the optimal time to shape the plant and encourage a fuller, bushier growth habit. To prune, snip off excess stems at the base of the plant, just above the soil level. Be sure to leave some stems intact to keep the plant well-balanced. Prune off any dead or diseased stems to promote healthy growth. Once the majority of the pruning is complete, it is important to fertilize the plant to give it a boost.
