watering
Autumn stonecrop (Sedum 'Mr. Goodbud') requires moist soil when first planted, but should receive only minimal water after that. Water about once a week, aiming for the root zone and not the foliage. In periods of hot, dry weather, an extra watering may be necessary. Over-watering can cause root rot, root and crown desiccation, or stunted growth. This plant is happiest with low and regular levels of irrigation, allowing dry periods between waterings.
sunlight
Autumn stonecrop (Sedum 'Mr. Goodbud') will perform best in full sun to part shade, meaning that it should receive a minimum of 6 hours of bright light during the day. For best results, grow Autumn stonecrop in an area that receives a full 8 hours of bright light, starting from early morning. Direct morning sunlight is best, as the plant will be able to build up its resources throughout the day. Autumn stonecrop can also tolerate partial shade, which can be beneficial in hot climates.
pruning
Autumn stonecrop (Sedum 'Mr. Goodbud') should be pruned in late spring or early summer to ensure the plant remains lush and full. Pruning should involve removing old, dead, or diseased stems and foliage. To keep the plant looking its best, cut stems back by 1-third of its original length. This allows for new leaf growth and allows the plant to contain a nice, neatly trimmed shape. To promote blooming, cut off old flower heads in early to mid fall. This will also help to make sure the plant stays full and lush year-round.
