Sedum is a genus that includes annual, biennial, and perennial herbs. They are characterised by succulent leaves and stems. The extent of morphological diversity and homoplasy make it impossible to characterise Sedum phenotypicaly.

How to Care for the Plant
Water
Sedum cepaea needs 0.8 cups of water every 12 days when it doesn't get direct sunlight
Pruning
In warmer climates, you can prune sedum at any time without harming the plant’s vigor. However, most pruning is done to remove the old flower heads and to keep the plant in check. If you prune late into summer, you may risk removing future flower heads on some of the slower-growing species. Old flowers can be removed at any time. On some of the larger species, such as Autumn Joy stonecrop, the flower head is an attractive feature and will last into winter. You can remove these in the fall or wait until early spring and then remove them to the rosette base.
Fertilizer
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Sedum cepaea after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.
Temperature
Sedums are also tolerant of heat and drought. Keep indoor Sedums at temperatures between 60 and 70 °F (15 and 20 °) through the winter. When temperatures drop below 50 °F (10 °C), plants start to go dormant.
Container
Cactus in 2" container
Additional
Sedum is generally non-toxic to pets and humans, in fact, they are known as Bittercress in some areas; I'm thinking someone had to taste it to know that it was bitter. Crassula ovata, the regular old Jade plant, is approved to have around animals, but the plant might not appreciate having bite marks in the leaves.
