How to Care for the Plant
Water
Watering Stonecrops grown outdoors is necessary only in case of prolonged drought and abnormal heat. Daily watering for indoor Sedum is not required. It will be enough to water the flower abundantly once a week.

After the flowering period, you can remove the flower stalks. Use sharp and clean tools. Be careful! Don’t damage the leaf buds.
Fertilizer
In spring and autumn, Stonecrop should be fed with an organic solution or complex mineral fertilizer.
Sunlight
