hylotelephium

For Hylotelephium spectabile 'Ruby Jewel' plants, water about once a week during the growing season. However, be sure to water only when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry and don't over-water or saturate the soil. When you water, water thoroughly so that the water drains out of the pot, and allow the soil to dry out between waterings to maintain good aeration and drainage. In the winter, water less frequently, allowing the soil to dry out more completely before watering again.

Hylotelephium (or formerly known as Sedum) spectabile ‘Ruby Jewel’ is a low-maintenance perennial groundcover with succulent leaves. This plant is perfect for borders in full sun but should not be placed in the hottest areas of the garden since it is not tolerant of high temperatures. When it comes to light requirements, Hylotelephium spectabile ‘Ruby Jewel’ needs at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sun per day. However, providing too much sunlight could cause the leaves to become scorched or yellowed. For this reason, a spot that offers morning sun and afternoon shade is generally ideal for this plant species.

Hylotelephium (Hylotelephium spectabile 'Ruby Jewel') plants should be pruned in late spring/early summer, when the new growth begins to appear. Pruning should involve trimming the dried flower heads to the base of the stem to encourage new blooms and remove any die back. The plant should also be deadheaded regularly throughout the growing season to keep the plant looking neat and to promote blooming. Additionally, some light pruning (i.e. thinning out a few stems) may be beneficial for encouraging a bushier or fuller plant.
