stonecrop

Water stonecrop (Hylotelephium erythrostictum 'Mediovariegatum') deeply during dry spells throughout the summer. For the best results, water this plant in the morning or earlier in the day and allow the soil to dry out between watering sessions. In very hot weather it can need water as often as twice a week. After the first full season, scale back to deep watering every 2 weeks during dry periods. In cooler, wetter days, stonecrop can go a month or more between waterings.

Stonecrop (Hylotelephium erythrostictum 'Mediovariegatum') should be planted in an area that receives full or partial sunlight. If planted in full sun, the plant should receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. If grown in partial shade, the plant will require at least 3 to 4 hours of direct sunlight. For best results, it is recommended that the plant is exposed to morning sunlight and shielded from intense afternoon sunshine.

Pruning Stonecrop (Hylotelephium erythrostictum 'Mediovariegatum') helps keep the plant looking its best and encourages healthy growth. Pruning should be undertaken annually in late winter or early spring to remove dead or diseased stems as well as any unsightly overgrown stems. Cut back stems to a healthy pair of leaves, removing any stems that are growing out of control. Too much pruning can cause the plant to become spindly and sparse, so it’s important to ensure that you are only trimming back when appropriate.
