Water
Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is the most common cause of root rot in Phedimus hybrids. In winter, reduce watering significantly, as the plant is dormant.
Also known as Cultivated Stonecrop · Mongolian Stonecrop · Siberian Stonecrop
Hybrid Stonecrop (Phedimus hybridus) is a low-maintenance succulent admired for its fleshy leaves and clusters of star-shaped flowers, typically pink or white.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is the most common cause of root rot in Phedimus hybrids. In winter, reduce watering significantly, as the plant is dormant.
Prune back dead or damaged stems at any time. For shaping and to encourage bushier growth, prune in early spring before new growth begins. Spent flower stems can be removed after flowering to improve appearance.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Insert cuttings into well-draining soil or sand and keep them moist until rooted. Division of clumps in spring is also an effective method.
Repot container-grown plants every 2-3 years in spring to refresh the soil and provide more space for root growth. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend, and ensure the pot has drainage holes.
