watering
For best growth, Water the Hylotelephium 'Sunset Cloud' plant regularly. It should receive about 1 inch of water per week, and it is best watered at the base of the plant. Generally, it can be watered every 4 to 5 days. During periods of extreme heat, it may need to be watered more often. If you are able to feel the soil, it should feel moist but not overly so.
sunlight
Stonecrop (Hylotelephium 'Sunset Cloud') requires full sun for best performance. It should receive 6 or more hours of direct sunlight per day. If it is grown in a partially shaded location, its growth will be more weak and its flowers less vibrant and abundant. Additionally, in part shade, it will be more prone to pests and diseases. Therefore, it is best planted in a spot that receives full sun all day long.
pruning
Stonecrop (Hylotelephium 'Sunset Cloud') should be pruned in late winter or early spring. Prune back the stems by up to 1-third their length or remove any dead or weak stems. This will help the plant maintain a neat shape and encourage denser growth. It is best to avoid pruning during the peak of summer to ensure the health of the plant.
