How to Care for the Plant

Water
In terms of watering, a angelina stonecrop is a fairly simple plant to take care of. This is mainly because it has a straightforward watering schedule and somewhat regular watering needs. Specifically, most experts agree that a sedum rupestre ‘angelina’ needs at least weekly watering, or more in extreme heat, preferably with regular water.
Pruning
Use sharp pruning shears to remove the sucker branches and the errant branches that are growing in the wrong direction or making it difficult to fertilize the tree. Since lemon cypress has a conical habit, trim the tree as per its natural shape. Trimming should be done every week during the summer.
Fertilizer
Simply apply the fertilizer around the base of the plant, extending to the drip line. For vegetables, place the fertilizer in a strip parallel to the planting row. Water-soluble fertilizers are faster acting but must be applied more frequently. This method gives plants food while you water.
