watering
Tasteless stonecrop (Sedum sexangulare) requires regular, but judicious watering. It is best to water in the morning. During the summer, water the plant deeply and regularly, allowing the soil to almost dry between waterings. During the winter, reduce watering, but ensure that the soil remains slightly moist.
sunlight
Sunlight is essential for the tasteless stonecrop to grow and flower. This plant species needs full sun to partial shade. It can tolerate some shade but it won't flower if it's in too much shade. The plant will usually flower in the early to mid-summer months. During this time, the plant needs 5 to 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. In the winter, the plant can tolerate full sun, but will still need some protection from the cold if the temperatures drop too low.
pruning
Tasteless stonecrop (Sedum sexangulare) should be pruned lightly during the spring season. Pruning should consist of removing any wilted, dead or damaged leaves and stems. Trim off any sprawling stems and thin out crowded branches to keep the plant compact and tidy. Pruning in early summer will help stimulate new growth and encourage bushier, more compact growth. Pruning can also be done right after flowering to tidy up and encourage branching. If the stonescrop has become overly leggy, prune hard back in early summer and it will regrow and flower anew.
