stonecrop

Stonecrop (Sedum 'Blue Spruce') requires medium amounts of water and should be watered thoroughly once every 1-2 weeks. During the spring and summer season when the plant is actively growing, water more frequently, about once every 7-10 days. Be sure to let the soil dry out in between waterings, as Stonecrop does not like to have constantly wet or soggy soil. If the soil is left too wet, it can lead to root rot. In the fall and winter season, water much less, about once every 2 weeks or even less. During this dormancy period, the plant will need almost no water or very little water. It will depend on the temperatures outside and if the plant is actively growing.

Stonecrop (Sedum 'Blue Spruce') requires full-sun to partial-sun exposure. It should receive at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight each day, with more sunlight preferred if possible. In areas with high summer heat, afternoon shade is recommended to help protect the plant from excessive sun. In cooler climates however, more sun can be beneficial.

Stonecrop (Sedum 'Blue Spruce') should be lightly pruned in the early spring just before new growth begins. This helps to encourage new growth and can help increase the size and number of flowers. Pruning is best done with a sharp pair of pruning shears or scissors. Start by removing any dead or damaged leaves and stems. Then, cut back the stems by up to 1-half of their current height. After pruning, apply a balanced fertilizer to encourage further growth. Stonecrop should only require light pruning once per year, and can become sparse or leggy if over-pruned.
