stonecrop

Water Stonecrop (Sedum pallidum var. bithynicum 'Sea Stars') once a week or every 5 to 7 days. When watering, be sure to give the plants enough water to moisten the soil but not saturate it. The best time to water is early in the morning or late in the evening, when the sun isn't as strong. Do not water the foliage and adjust the amount you water depending on the season as you need to give more or less water depending on how hot it is.

Stonecrop (Sedum pallidum var. bithynicum 'Sea Stars') grows best in full sun, which means an area with 6 or more hours of direct sunlight daily. This direct sunlight promotes strong growth and full flowering, so it is important that 'Sea Stars' receive enough direct sunlight each day. When keeping 'Sea Stars' in a container indoors, place it in an area that receives plenty of natural sunlight or set up grow lights to supplement the sunlight.

Stonecrop (Sedum pallidum var. bithynicum 'Sea Stars') can be pruned lightly in fall and spring for both aesthetics and health. The best time for pruning is late fall after the plant is established. This will help keep the plant from elongating and becoming too large for the space in which it is planted. If necessary, pruning can also be done in early spring. When pruning, begin by removing any dead, damaged, or diseased stems as well as any flower stalks that have already flowered. This will help encourage healthy growth. Then, lightly trim back growth that is too long or is invading the space of other plants. These light prunings help encourage more even growth and keep the plant from becoming too large for the space.
