watering
Stonecrop (Sedum erythrostictum 'Frosty Morn') is a succulent plant and does best with minimal watering. Generally, it should be watered only every 8-10 days or when the soil feels completely dry. During the hot summer months, it may need to be watered twice a week or every 5-7 days. It is important to note that overwatering can cause root rot. When watering, be sure to water thoroughly so that the soil is evenly moist. Allow the soil to dry out before watering again.
sunlight
Stonecrop (Sedum erythrostictum 'Frosty Morn') thrives best in full sun or partial shade. This plant species requires at least 8 hours of direct sunlight each day in order to stay healthy and to flourish. It is a drought-tolerant succulent and can withstand long periods of drought and dry soil. When placed in full sun, it will need to be watered deeply once or twice a week to ensure there is enough moisture in the soil. When placed in partial shade, it may need to be watered a bit more frequently.
pruning
Stonecrop (Sedum erythrostictum 'Frosty Morn') should be pruned in late winter to early spring when the plant is still in its dormant state. Pruning should be light to maintain the shape of the plant. Remove only a few of the longest stems and the stems that have already bloomed. Pruning should be limited to 30%-40% of the plant, as over-pruning can be damaging to the plant.
