stonecrop

Water Stonecrop 'Pillow Talk' plants once per week to keep the soil moist, but not soggy. During the hottest periods of the year, you may need to increase watering to twice a week. Make sure the plant has time to dry out slightly between waterings. Over-watering can lead to root rot and other issues. As with most plants, it is best to water deeply and infrequently rather than lightly and often. If you are unsure if a plant needs to be watered, check the soil for dryness. When the top inch or 2 of soil is dry then it is time to give the plant a good drink. Avoid wetting the leaves and flowers of Stonecrop as this can result in disease.

Stonecrop (Sedum 'Pillow Talk') prefers full sun to partial shade. It should receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight in a day to ensure healthy growth and flowering. This sun-loving plant likes direct sunlight during the morning and late evening when the light is not so strong, or bright, but should be avoided during midday, when the sun is at its hottest, to prevent burning of the leaves. Regular pruning will also help keep it a manageable size. It is also drought tolerant, making it a great low maintenance addition to any garden or landscape.

Stonecrop (Sedum 'Pillow Talk') should be pruned once a year, during the early springtime, before new growth begins. Pruning should be minimal for this plant species, as it is a plant that prefers to remain short, and vigorous pruning can cause the plant to become weak and unhealthy. Cut back the plant lightly, by no more than a quarter of its total height, to keep it contained and promote its bushy growth. Removing any dead or dying stems can also help keep the Stonecrop healthy and attractive.
