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.
Sunlight
Indoors, keep your plant in an area having plenty of bright filtered light.
Soil
Avoid using heavy soil. It may be too compacted for your potted plant and won't allow air to get to the roots.
Temperature
Cold-hardy, it can take overnight temperatures to -25 C however, the ideal temperature range during the summer growing season is 5-25°C, with the cooler autumn temperatures tending to make their foliage colours become more intense than those of the active summer growing season.
Container
Whether your potted plants are indoors or outdoors, proper drainage is an essential element to ensure they stay healthy.
