watering
Stonecrop plants (Sedum 'Soft Cloud') should be watered every 1-2 weeks, depending on the temperature and humidity of the environment. The best way to water a Stonecrop plant is by soaking the entire soil surface with lukewarm water until the soil feels evenly moist. During times of extended dry spells or in exceptionally warm climates, it may require watering once or twice a week. During the winter months, the soil should remain dry as these plants are dormant and don't require much fertilizer or water during that time. If the plants are grown in containers, the soil should be checked for moisture before watering, as it can dry out much more quickly in small pots.
sunlight
Stonecrop (Sedum 'Soft Cloud') is a hardy perennial plant that thrives best in warm, sunny locations, such as a south-facing windowsill or a spot out in the garden. This species of plant does best in direct sunlight for 6-8 hours per day. It can tolerate some shade, but it won’t flower if it isn’t getting enough sun. The ideal time of day for Stonecrop to receive its sunlight is between 8 am and 5 pm.
pruning
Stonecrop (Sedum 'Soft Cloud') should be pruned 2-3 times a year, starting in the spring (March - April). Prune the plant back to 1/2 its size to keep it compact and promote fresh, new growth. Remove any dead or damaged foliage and lightly trim the sedums to shape them. Whenever possible, it is best to try to preserve the original shape of the plant as much as possible. Repeat the pruning process in early June and fall (September - October).
