three-leaved stonecrop

Three-leaved stonecrop (Sedum ternatum 'Alba') should be watered once per week, using enough water to moisten the soil around the roots. Make sure to avoid over-watering, as this can cause root rot. During the summertime, more frequent watering may be required, especially during hotter or dryer spells. In general, the soil should remain moist, but not soaked. In the winter months, the succulent should only be watered when the soil feels dry. It is important to note that over-watering can be just as detrimental to this plant as under-watering.

Three-leaved stonecrop (Sedum ternatum 'Alba') grows best in full sunlight, meaning at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day. These beautiful white perennials thrive in direct sunlight during the peak hours of the day, which is usually between 10am and 6pm. Although this plant species does well in full sun, it can still tolerate some morning or evening shade, especially during the hottest summer months. Additionally, it is important to remember that newly transplanted plants may need some time to adjust, so shade them during the hottest periods. For healthy growth, provide 3-leaved stonecrop with plenty of sunlight throughout the entire growing season.

Three-leaved stonecrop (Sedum ternatum 'Alba') should be pruned in the spring, before new growth starts to occur. Pruning can either be done by hand with a pair of garden scissors or by trimming with a hedge trimmer. Prune the Sedum ternatum 'Alba' by removing old, dead, and damaged stems, as well as any stems or foliage that is adversely affecting the growth and health of the plant. Depending on desired plant size and shape, pruning can range from a light trim to a more heavy pruning, as desired. Pruning should not only focus on removing old and damaged foliage and stems, but also on shaping and thinning out the plant for a fuller, healthier look. Proper pruning can help this species retain its attractive shape and size and help ensure its abundant flowering and seasonal color.
