watering
Water moss stonecrop (Sedum acre) about once per week, depending on temperature and humidity. In cooler climates, water around once a week or less often; in hot, dry climates, water every few days in the summer. When watering, give generous amounts ensuring that the soil is completely saturated and that excess moisture drains away. Do not allow the soil to become soggy or waterlogged. Allow the top 1-2 inches of soil to dry before watering again.
sunlight
Moss stonecrop (Sedum acre) requires a minimum of 4-6 hours of direct sunlight each day for optimal growth. This species of succulent is best suited to full sun in the summer months, when there is plenty of light available. During the spring and fall, Moss stonecrop can tolerate some partial shade. During the winter months, it needs to be protected from frost and should be grown in an area that gets some indirect light.
pruning
Pruning of moss stonecrop (Sedum acre) should be done in late winter or early spring, before new growth starts. Pruning should be light, removing only old, woody stems that have not bloomed within the last 4-5 years. Also, any stems that are bent or broken can be cut back to encourage new growth. When pruning, it is important to avoid cutting stems back further than 6-8 inches, as the plant may not have enough foliage left to perform photosynthesis. After pruning, it is also helpful to add a nutrient-rich, compost-based mulch to the soil to replenish any lost nutrients.
