I live in AZ and had it outside in partial sun. Can this plant tolerate extreme heat?
Sedum japonicum 'Tokyo Sun'
Ground Cover Succulents
My Tokyo Sun is not doing well at all. Most of it has died. I had it outside and it was getting partial sun throughout the day. However, I think the extreme heat might have shocked it? How can I tell if it got too much sun or too much water? Most of the plant has died and withered. Only a few stalks are left.

I'm sorry to hear that! Tokyo Sun is one of the more sensitive stonecrops. It does not like extreme weather. To get it to grow in Arizona, you would likely need to water it regularly and really protect it from the combination of direct sun, drought, and high heat. If it's looking dry, crispy, and withered, I would try to water the remaining plant more frequently. If, however, it looks more brown, mushy, and withered, then you do have a case of overwatering, and you should leave it to dry and recover.
I hope this all helps and I hope your plant recovers!
