watering
The Caucasian stonecrop requires regular watering for healthy growth. It should be watered once a week, making sure to moisten the soil completely. Ensure that the top layer of soil has dried out somewhat before watering again to prevent root rot. To check if the soil needs to be watered, stick your finger into the soil to a depth of 1-2 inches and if it feels dry to the touch, it is ready to be watered.
sunlight
Caucasian stonecrop (Sedum spurium 'Schorbuser Blut' DRAGON'S BLOOD) grows best in full sun or light shade. For best results, give it 4 to 5 hours of direct sunlight per day. It prefers early morning sunlight and evening sunlight, although it can tolerate intense afternoon sunlight if provided with adequate irrigation. The plant grows best when temperatures range between 65-80 °F (18-27°C). In hotter climates, it is best to provide afternoon shade to keep the plant from becoming scorched.
pruning
Caucasian stonecrop should be pruned in late winter or early spring. Pruning should be modest, removing no more than 1-third of the plant's growth. This will help keep the plant healthy and ensure an abundant, vibrant flower display. Pruning should also be done with sharp, clean pruning shears or scissors to prevent accidental damage to the plant.
