watering

Water stonecrop (Hylotelephium 'Lajos' AUTUMN CHARM) when the top 2-3 inches of soil is dry. Water thoroughly with 1-2 inches of water and allow the water to absorb before more is added. During the summer months, water about once per week. During the fall and winter months, water sparingly, only if the soil is dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can damage the plant and increase the chances of disease.

sunlight

Stonecrop (Hylotelephium 'Lajos' AUTUMN CHARM) is an ideal plant for sunny spots, requiring at least 6 hours of direct sunlight for ideal growth and flowering. During its active growing season, it can use more light, up to 8 hours a day. In the hottest months, this should be reduced to prevent leaf scorching, so aim to give the plant 6 or 7 hours of direct sunlight daily during the summer. It also needs illumination during the winter, but less, about 4 to 6 hours a day, so that it continues to photosynthesize.

pruning

Stonecrop (Hylotelephium 'Lajos' AUTUMN CHARM) should be pruned in the late winter or early spring, before new growth begins. Generally, the plant has a mounding form and old stems can be cut back as desired. For this species, remove any old flower stems and dead or damaged leaves from the previous year. You can also cut back sections of old stems to encourage more compact growth. A light pruning done each year is recommended.
