To me, each stem should have been cut off at ground level after the flower turned brown. Then stick each stem into the soil somewhere else and left alone till next year. Each stem will become it's own individual plant as long as you stick those stems in soil before they become dried out. No need to separate the roots then. You could also cut each stem into 3 or more pieces. Stick the bottoms into the soil and again, you have all new plants. Letting the stems dry up and die, ruins the chance to create many, many new plants. I live in a very hot area of the USA. But we also have cold snowy Winters. They grow from the soil as soon as the weather warms up. Easiest plant in the world to propagate I think. Good video.......
Thank you we will try this tip and see how we get on. We tend to leave the flower heads on the plants until spring as we love the winter structure in the garden. They look beautiful with frost or spiders webs on.
Love these plants...I call them Beautiful Cockroaches, cuz they are so tough. nothing upsets them . I tossed tiny remnant pieces in full shade, and they grew....moved them in better light and Bam.
Hi. My sedum is large and opening in the middle. It’s very hot now in Oklahoma. Would it survive being split up now? Is not, it appears the outer branches will be laying on the ground. Also, when I do transplant, they will be very tall. Should I also cut them back? I should have done all this 2 years ago. They’ve been neglected unfortunately. Thanks for any info from anybody. 😊
We moved ours last year in a heatwave and a drought in UK and they were fine as long as you keep them well watered and dig up a decent area around them so you don't damage roots . Best time to move them is spring in our experience or autumn after they have been cut back . They are pretty tough
ideally it does need a lot of sun to grow well. Not sure 4-5 hours would be enough for it to thrive as it likes full sun. Having said that we have grown it in less sunny spots and it will grow and flower just not as vigorously
not sure Ive quickly rewatched the video but not sure which plant you are referring to as it all seemed to be about dividing sedums. Unless its the iris you are referring to which is behind the Sedums
I have my first sedum called garden stonecrop..........I have the blooms that I trimed off and was hoping to see what the actual seeds look like. I am in a seed exchange group and we exchange seeds only not the whole plant......I gathered the little cluster heads and turned one upside-down over a large white platter........I have tiny tiny little sticks, tiny tiny little petals, tiny little stems and some tiny black dust looking like black pepper......please help me find what to keep and share.......(must be seeds only) .......I hope you can send me to a link or answer my question......please.....thanks ahead of time....
I have never seen the seeds ? I wonder if this is a sterile hybrid ? I will look at the end of the season, but never seen seedlings around the plants either?
