Stonecrop (Sedum erythrostictum 'Frosty Morn') is a succulent plant and does best with minimal watering. Generally, it should be watered only every 8-10 days or when the soil feels completely dry. During the hot summer months, it may need to be watered twice a week or every 5-7 days. It is important to note that overwatering can cause root rot.

Stonecrop (Sedum erythrostictum 'Frosty Morn') thrives best in full sun or partial shade. This plant species requires at least 8 hours of direct sunlight each day in order to stay healthy and to flourish. It is a drought-tolerant succulent and can withstand long periods of drought and dry soil. When placed in full sun, it will need to be watered deeply once or twice a week to ensure there is enough moisture in the soil.

pruning

Stonecrop (Sedum erythrostictum 'Frosty Morn') should be pruned in late winter to early spring when the plant is still in its dormant state.
