watering
Stonecrop (Hylotelephium telephium 'Cherry Truffle') should be watered thoroughly and deeply when the soil appears dry. Depending on a variety of factors such as temperature, light, humidity, and container size, this will usually happen every 4-7 days. When watering, ensure you cover the entire root system, not just the surface. Avoid overwatering by checking the plant at least once a week to see if the soil is still moist, and adjust the watering schedule accordingly. Once the plant is established, it is very drought-tolerant and may be able to go a few extra days between waterings.

It typically needs at least 4 hours of direct sun every day and can tolerate partial shade. The best time of day for it to get sunlight is from early morning to mid-afternoon, as the light is more intense at this time and can encourage photosynthesis and growth. Place the plant in a location that gets direct sun during the morning, with some protection from the harshest afternoon sun. Providing the needed sunlight will help this varieties of stonecrop thrive.
pruning
Stonecrop (Hylotelephium telephium 'Cherry Truffle') should be pruned in late winter or early spring, before new growth appears. Pruning should be light, removing no more then 1/3 of the total growth in a single pruning session. This helps to maintain an attractive balance between foliage and flower production. Dead/diseased, overcrowded stems and shoots should be removed, as well as any shoots that are growing outside of the desired shape/mound.
