watering

Ruby Glow sedum should be watered once every 5 to 7 days during the summer and every 10 to 14 days during the winter. For each watering session, thoroughly saturate the soil until water drains out of the bottom of the pot or planter. In addition, check the soil moisture by inserting your finger 1-2 inches below the surface to ensure that the plant is not getting over-watered.

sunlight

Ruby Glow sedum (Sedum x 'Ruby Glow') requires an average of 5 to 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. This plant will grow and bloom best when exposed to full sun in the morning, and some afternoon shade or dappled sun in the afternoon. Ruby Glow sedum can tolerate some periods of full sun during the hottest part of the day, but it is important not to overexpose it, as this may cause the leaves to scorch. Overall, Ruby Glow sedum prefers regular and consistent amounts of sunlight throughout the day.

pruning

Ruby Glow sedum (Sedum x 'Ruby Glow') should be pruned once a year in early spring. Prune away any dead, yellowing or damaged growth to encourage a full shape and new growth. Removing the top few inches of each stem will help produce a bushier shape and reduce spindly stems. During the summer months, pinch off any flowers and buds that have withered to promote healthier growth. Pruning should be done lightly to avoid stressing the plant. For any major pruning, a clean, sharp and sterilized pair of pruning shears should be used.
