watering

The exact amount of water your Sedum 'Lime Twister' needs will depend largely on the size of your pot, ambient humidity, and the temperature of your environment. Generally, however, this plant should receive approximately 1 to 2 cups of water per week during the growing season as an ideal. Water your plant deeply and evenly, allowing the soil to become slightly moist but never too wet or soggy. Avoid misting or spraying the foliage of your plant as this can cause rot. When to water your Sedum 'Lime Twister' is as important as how much to water. Generally, you should water your Sedum 'Lime Twister' when the top inch of soil feels dry. Plant your Sedum 'Lime Twister' in an area with good drainage to help it thrive.

sunlight

Stonecrop (Sedum 'Lime Twister') plants thrive best in sunny sites with at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day. If possible, the plant should receive morning sunlight, and the foliage should be protected from late day hot sun. Throughout the summer, filtered sun behind a sheer curtain or light fabric can be beneficial if temperatures become excessively high.

pruning

Stonecrop (Sedum 'Lime Twister') should be pruned once a year in spring, after the new growth appears. Pruning should be done carefully, removing dead or damaged stems at their base. Overgrown or spindly stems can be cut back by up to a third of their length, to encourage bushier, healthier growth. For best results, be sure not to prune too much at once.
