watering
Stonecrop (Sedum forsterianum 'Oracle') should be watered once a week, using approximately 1 inch of water each time. It is best to water the plant in the early morning, as this allows the leaves and soil to dry during the day, preventing issues such as mold or mildew. If your area is particularly dry, you may need to water your Stonecrop more often. Be sure to check the soil before each watering to ensure that the top inch of soil is dry, giving the plant time to take in more water.
sunlight
Stonecrop (Sedum forsterianum ‘Oracle’) typically does best in full sun, meaning 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day. It will survive with less sun exposure, but will not bloom as abundantly. Placing the plant in a bright, sunny window or outdoors in a spot that receives ample direct sunlight will ensure that it flourishes.
pruning
Stonecrop (Sedum forsterianum 'Oracle') should be pruned once a year on a regular basis. Pruning this plant species is best done in the spring (April or May). For general maintenance, it's best to remove dead or damaged stems, as well as any damaged leaves. For aesthetic purposes, you can also give the plant a light shaping by removing overly long stems. To encourage denser growth, you can remove 1-third of the oldest stems at their base. This should be done after flowering or when growth is most active.
