watering
White stonecrop (Sedum album 'Coral Carpet') needs moderate amounts of water. Water the plant when the soil feels dry to the touch, and make sure to avoid over-watering as this can cause root rot. During the summer season, water the plant about 2 times per week. In the winter, the plant will need less water, so reduce your watering to once a week. When watering White Stonecrop, direct the water towards the root zone and make sure to avoid getting the leaves wet as this might cause fungal diseases. Always make sure to check the moisture in the soil before watering.
sunlight
White stonecrop (Sedum album 'Coral Carpet') thrives in full sunlight, which is necessary for the development of its foliage and flowers. The plant should receive 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day for optimal growth and flowering. For areas with intense midday sun, partial shade can be beneficial, and in subtropical and temperate environments, morning sun is ideal. In general, the more light the plant receives, the more vibrant its foliage and flowers will be.
pruning
White stonecrop (Sedum album 'Coral Carpet') is a ground cover with soft pink foliage. It should be pruned in late winter or early spring to remove any winter damage, dead or weak growth, and to encourage a lush new growth. Pruning should be done by cutting back the stems to 2 or 3 inches above the ground. Be sure to use sharp scissors and to discard any pruned stems away from the plant. Pruning the stems too drastically can cause the plant to lose its freshness and reduce the number of flowers in the following growing season.
