How to Care for the Plant
Water
Regular water will help young plants establish roots and spread quickly, but mature Sedum can tolerate several months of drought. Reduce watering in winter.
Sunlight
Keep the plant in full sun. It also tolerates some light shade.
Soil
Plant in raised beds or containers with drainage holes and mix 50% coarse sand, pumice, or perlite into the soil to prevent rot. Outside, these plants will tolerate poor soil so long as drainage is good.
