Jason, you continually up your game with these videos! I’m building a second rock garden and see some sedum propagating in my near future. Hello from PEI!
Thanks for the tip. I bought some low growing variegated sedums and will propagate them for ground cover in my Baja desert garden. We are here for the winter. So a new challenge to grow desert plants in very dry conditions by the Sea of Cortez, La Ventana. South East of La Paz, Mexico.
Thank you Jason. I’m going to be trying to propagate a lot of different things this year, that’s the only way I’m ever going to be able to have a garden full of plants. I’ve a relatively new garden so to fill it it would cost a fortune especially since the price on plants keeps going up. 🌷💚🙃
I found out how easy it is to propagate sedum when I accidentally broke a few pieces of one while I was planting it in the ground. The few that fell out I left in place and sure enough in a few weeks they were rooted and growing well! This was a smaller one (I think Boogie Woogie), I'm hoping I can be as successful with a taller one. Thanks Jason 😃😃😃
Thank you Jason!!! This was very timely as I just took 2 cutting of the needle leafed Sedum that you showed, but it was gold/yellow. I'm not covering them but do have them on a southeast facing windowsill in good potting soil, so we'll see what happens. Just as side note I'm also starting a larger Sedum cutting in water....
I usually put my succulent cuttings in dry soil, give them a few days, and then just mist the top a bit. In my climate, I am more likely to rot them than the cuttings drying out.
For me sedum is the easiest to grow and have them look like they've been around for a long time. Mine get so big so fast that I have to divide them. I didn't know there were so many varieties.
Cool video. If you are seeing a node bud and produce adventitious roots on a branch stem do I need to cut the main stalk of the plant or can I pick it off with the roots? My ice plant is doing this right now. What is your perlite to potting soil ratio? Lastly, I thought when propagating you didnt want lights on the cuttings, is sedum unique in this? Thanks for the tips!!
Totally irrelevant question.... How often, if ever, would you need to replace your mother rose plants (the ones in the tyre garden)? Do you just keep enough growing that if one died you chuck in a new one or do you find that they become less vigorous over time and need a fresh one? I would be interested to see a video on this topic one day when you have time. Great video as usual, cheers Jason.
Thanks Brad. With regular pruning (and on their own roots) they have no set lifespan - I expect ongoing productivity unless there's a specific health problem.
Btw humidity dome is completely unnecessary for the small leaves ones. I’m growing a bigger one and it’s been SUPER slow (then again so is the mother) and it might help for those varieties
Literally TOO easy. I found some on a sidewalk a few years ago…. I can’t tell you how much of that stuff I have spread just because stuff in pots overgrown and I just huck the cuttings wherever xD
Always remember to allow the bottoms of the cutting to callous over before you plant then use a Cactus 🌵 mix soil to plant the cuttings into. You will get the best results. Water very little use no more than a teaspoon. The Doom is a Good idea. Sincerely Yours 🤠 Mr Severance, "The Cake 😋 🍰🎂 🥳🎉 🎈🥂🎊 Man"&"Xerocsapeing Gardener".

You said it exactly right Jason, "A fantastic way to experience a high rate of success while learning the whole cuttings and propagation process.🤙

I can't wait to give this a go this summer. I love sedum and it does so well in my Zone 4 (Prince George, BC) garden.

Thank you, Jason. Really good vid on sedums. Appreciate your explanation. 😊

Thank you Jason. That demonstration was very helpful and I’ll give it a try.
My pleasure Lori!
Fantastic video lots of info
Happy Easter and I try to start plants from cuttings too then I can sell them😊

Adventitious

With the adventitious rooting you can cut just about anywhere. They definitely appreciate some light (not too much) for growing energy.

When would you say is the best time to propagate sedum ? does it vary with the regions?
Just ahead of flowering in spring is nice because it gives plenty of time for establishment before winter

If I may ask, where do you get your sedum seeds from? Thank you!
I bought some from Jelitto this year
