watering
Stonecrop (Sedum 'Lime Zinger') should be watered once a week, or when the top 2-3 inches of soil become dry to the touch. During the summer months the plant may require additional water during periods of extended dry and warm weather. As a general rule, it is best to lightly water the soil, ensuring it is moist and not soggy, to avoid overwatering. Try to make sure not to get the foliage of the plant wet when watering. The best time to water Stonecrop is in the morning when the sun is not so intense to help the plant retain the moisture in the soil for a longer period of time.
sunlight
For healthy growth of Sedum 'Lime Zinger' stonecrop, it is best to give it 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. The amount of sunlight required may vary if the plant is grown indoors or in partial or full shade. When the plant is situated outdoors, in full sun, it will usually receive its optimal daily sunlight from late morning to late afternoon.
pruning
Stonecrop (Sedum 'Lime Zinger') should be pruned annually in late winter or early spring, before the new growth appears. Pruning should be limited to removing any dead or damaged stems and light shaping of the plant. This will encourage new growth and promote healthy growth for the coming season. Be sure not to over prune - only remove 10-20% of the stems - as this can lead to the plant becoming weak and prone to disease. The best way to prune is to look for any stems that are dead, broken, or have crossed over each other and remove them at the base of the plant.
