Caucasian stonecrop

Caucasian stonecrop should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. During the active growing season, water plants thoroughly once or twice a week. During the cooler months of fall and winter, reduce watering and wait until the soil is dry before watering again. Keep an eye on the soil's moisture level and adjust the frequency of watering accordingly. Never allow the soil to become soggy or overly dry as these conditions can be damaging to the plant.

Caucasian stonecrop (Sedum spurium 'Tricolor') requires full sun to partial shade in order to thrive and produce its vibrant colors. It should be placed in a location that receives at least 4 to 5 hours of direct sunlight each day. During the summer months, this plant will do best in a location that receives afternoon shade. In the winter, it is better to place the plant in a location that receives full sun as this will aid in the overall hardiness of the plant. This plant is also quite drought tolerant, so it doesn't need to be watered often.

Caucasian stonecrop (Sedum spurium 'Tricolor') should be pruned once every spring while the plant is dormant, usually around late March or early April. It is important to prune this plant lightly, removing no more than 1-third of the plant's total height and width. Pruning should be done with sharp, sterilized cutting implements. Pruning off old, dead leaves and stems will encourage the plant to grow fresh, healthy foliage. It is also important not to prune too drastically; while the dead stems and leaves need to be removed, over-pruning can stress the plant and weaken it. Caucasian stonecrop is also known for its spreading habit and can be easily kept in control by regular pruning.
