watering
This succulent plant species, Sedum album 'Orange Ice', should be watered 2-3 times per week, depending on heat, humidity and weather conditions. Water deeply to saturate the soil. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings, making sure it does not dry out completely. In the hotter months, water slightly more frequently and in cooler months, water slightly less.
sunlight
White stonecrop (Sedum album 'Orange Ice') needs full sunlight to thrive. It can tolerate some partial shade in the summer, however, it needs 8-10 hours of direct, unfiltered sunlight each day during its growing season (spring and summer) for optimal growth. During the winter months, it still needs 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day to ensure a healthy plant.
pruning
The white stonecrop (Sedum album 'Orange Ice') should be pruned in late winter or early spring. Pruning should focus on removal of any dead or dying growth as well as any unhealthy or unsightly growth. It is important to prune only back so far as necessary to produce healthy new growth without leaving large, open wounds on the plant. Additionally, a light trimming of the foliage down to the desired shape should be done after flowering has finished. This will ensure a neat, tidy appearance without damaging the plant.
