I'm still a beginner at gardening so really appreciate you showing the process of taking cuttings in so much detail, like showing exactly where you cut the stem.
Glad it was helpful!
Me too 👒🙌👏
I have actually just cut off a cutting near the base and stuck them in the ground and they grew beautifully. Sedum root’s amazingly. Don’t even need the rooting hormone. I have actually started 30 or more plants from an original Autumn Joy that was 30 years old.
This is true, all you have to do is stick it into some soil, and it's good to go.
Yes I agree they are very easy to propagate. But sometimes it's nice to show people lots of different ways to do it. I don't think of video of me shoving a piece of sedum in the ground would be all that interesting to watch 😂😂😂. Although that's pretty much what I did when showing propagation of Angelina Sedum
I wish everything was this easy to propagate. I’ve been spreading them all around my property which is helping to fill areas that only had grass growing.
Love this video, TY! Can I propagate now (September), or is it best to do in Spring?
@@kathleenschubach5277with sedum really anytime except winter will work. You just want enough growing season so it can put on some roots.
Thank you! I have Autumn Joy and haven't known how to manage it til now.
Wow! Best sedum dividing and transplanting video on youtube!
As I get older and less flexible, I'm using more and more of these easy-care plants. It's fun to learn about new plants!
It sure is 😊
How can this video have only 620 likes? 😁 Awesome, instructive video and the host is casual enough to make you feel right at home! 🌿🍃🌸 Thank you for this video!
Aww that's super sweet of you to say. Thank you ❤️
I know so good, informative. Now Am so excited. Thank You so much for this video!
Omg, where have you been all of my gardening life?! 😍
Omg, I have been here... where have YOU been? Haha, so nice to meet you I'm glad you found me!
So glad I found this video.
I’ve had my sedums for years & never thought about splitting them. The whole in the centre when they grew huge always upset me 😅
Now I will spilt them up, I have 3 spots in the garden of these plants & now I can spit them all up & plant around the garden elsewhere. Thanks for sharing 😊
Haha no problem. Sometimes they'll also flop when they are fertilized or the soil is too rich. They like really lean soil 😊
Thank you, I couldn’t understand why some of my sedums were collapsing, and splaying out, so I asked TH-cam and found your channel, I’m looking forward to dividing mine now and giving them a new lease of life.
Thanks for your advice.
Janet 😊 🌿🌸🌿
Glad I could help! I love sedums 💜
@@PrettyPurpleDoor me too 🤍~ 🦋🌸🐝
I think this is the first video of yours I'm watching. This was a great video, so much info and so many demonstrations. Definite subscribe.
Aww thanks! Happy to have you!
I'd never had Sedum before moving to our current house three years ago. I LOVE the Sedum, it's beautiful, especially in Fall. But it was flopping open and that drove me crazy. I didn't know it needed dividing, so I put a peony ring around it last fall after I cut it back for winter. It grew this spring into the ring and is doing beautifully!
So glad to find this video!! I was going to attempt this method with my Autumn Joy and have only found how to propagate with the leaves you remove rather than the stem. (I have done the "oops, I broke off a stem and poked in the ground" method, it definitely works😆) Happy to find that I can get multiple starts off one stem as well! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and I look forward to more of your videos :)
Glad it was helpful!
Best video on TH-cam thanks
My goodness, one of the best video's. I can't wait to get more types of sedum
I like your ‘nursery’ area. You are a great teacher. Thx
Great video! I have taken cuttings of the ground cover sedum and sprinkled it into my garden and it just grows! It's so cool. I have white sedum and I am not a fan, it looks beautiful for about a week or so but turns brown very quickly. I chop off the heads and then place them into the soil and they make new plants.....super easy!
Very helpful! And you are super easy to listen to. I look forward to watching more videos!
Thank you that's such a sweet comment 😊
Hi, good video. I love taking cuttings or dividing plants. All the éxperts' say, plant groups
of threes .... this way you can do it very cheaply. One thing about gardening I find, it pays
to be practical & patient.
Who else heard the plant crying? 🤣🤣. Newbie here! I love your channel!!
😂😂😂 Welcome
Thank you so much for sharing this video. You explain things so well. I will start dividing now that i know how
Tk u for info I really learned a lot. My husband has Dementia and I have started to wrk in the yard. U give lots of info 🤗❤️
That's great to hear you learned a lot. Thanks for watching 😊
Thank you 🙏 This was exactly what I was wanting to see and watched several videos that talked about it but didn’t show it and I clearly would’ve wasted my time with the way I thought they did it.
Thanks. This helped me immensely!
Great video! I have randomly cut multiple flowerets and stuck them in the soil and they grow 🎉
Awesome video, very informative!
We just got a TON of rain here and I noticed my Autumn Joy Sedums (I have two HUGE ones in my front garden) flopped over! It's breaking my heart. So, now I know they need to be split but can I split them now? A week before fall? I don't want to run the risk of hurting them. I guess worse come to worse I can tie them up with burlap string?
ALSO! Sedums are attracting a ton of flies. Is there something you'd recommend to help this? PLEASE HELP
Very good tutorial. Thank you.
Thank you, very helpful. I'm off to grow more sedum.
Thank you so much for this information. I have three of these plants in very big pots and one of them just flopped over and I was very sad. I thought I was going to have to get rid of it. I thought it was dying so thank you very much for making this video.
I have yellow bouquet, coral reef, and firecracker sedum. I have it planted it a tree circle. To help spread it, I pull a piece near the base with a few starter roots; then replant it in a bare spot. After a week or two, it starts rooting good on its own. Got to keep it damp. For fertilizer, I use Dr Earth 2-2-2. They don't need much. Too much they'll get leggy. 🍀🌿🌾🐀🐾
Yeah I never fertilize them. They really love yucky, poor soil
Really good , very good ,thank you
I have autumn joy in all my flower gardens. It grows like a weed.In the spring .I have it in all my flower gardens. I always find places to put a start.
This was a very good thorough video for propping sedums. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you Amy. A great video and I'm ready to get outside. you make it looks so easy.
Great video…thanks so much.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just found your channel while searching for why my sedum is splitting in the center. Great video with awesome advice. Thank you! Subscribed 💚
Very good.thanks
Great video, thank you!
Good stuff, thanks!
I thought a stray cat was napping in my Autumn Joy! LOL. Going to start sharing it with my coworkers.
Hahaha that's pretty funny 😊
to split the root ball i would recommend a full size spade shovel. one clean kick.
Yeah I have a video about that called dividing daylilies with one tool.
New to the channel. Great video.
Thanks and welcome
Thanks so much, I learned much. Great job 👏. Subscribed & liked.
Thank you for sharing I have 3 or 4 that I love & now I can do that, I have 2 that my husband love & hi usually doesn't like anything I do like, he always asks when I will get the plant out of the pot & one Russian yellow one so beautiful.
I'm sure you can make dozens of beautiful new plants from those now 😊 enjoy!
Thank you so much!
Thank you.
Great video! I cant wait to try this on my sedum
Thank you so much for this. I’m going to start cutting tomorrow. What light environment is your test gardens where you put cuttings ?
Great video on sedums
Sedum ground cover makes good hiding spots for insects
and tiny toads!
Thank you
I have both & i didn't know what they were. I dug up from my bf old house.
Skip to 7 minutes 50 seconds to see how to divide Sedums
Thank you!! This is so helpful! Is the process same for many perennials, like Catmint, Perennial geranium, and others of that sort of mounding type?
Yes
It’s best to remove the flower heads to concentrate energy on forming roots.
Eh, sedum are so hardy it really doesn't matter in my opinion. For some plants yes, I agree.
Thank you so much for the terrific video!! Question- what soil does sedum grow in? And how often do you water them?
Crappy soil lol. They don't like fertilizer and our drought tolerant once established. They thrive on neglect
Great help for others, but my experience with sedum autum joy is much different. Mine are about four times larger and have never flooped. You will have trouble if the soil is not right. Also, they like full sun. But even better they are deer resistant.
Most of mine are fine and don't flop. If you have rich soil or a lot of rain they will flop sometimes, though. I've never seen them 4x the size of mine... 8 feet wide?
Maybe mine are more established, they are huge and really dark green. and fuller.
My Autumn Joy are definitely NOT deer resistant - we are near a reservoir and those deer eat ANYTHING! Even rudbeckia! I’m going to try putting them somewhere else, maybe even a container. Love your video Amy and am looking forward to viewing more!!
@@traceyjackson8159 Same issue with the deer…I was so upset when I discovered they had been eaten on. 😞
I wonder if that is what's happened with mine. They didn't flop until the rain. They are about two years old, a good size and have done very well until all the rain. @@PrettyPurpleDoor
nice
those eyes !
Thanks for sharing. Does it matter what time of year that you split them? I have one that is huge and needs split but I didn't know if I should wait until fall.
she advises to manipulate them when actively. growing.
No it doesn’t! They are really hardy!
I do everything while they are growing and they always turn out beautiful
I was wondering, are they deer resistant?
Honey works as well instead of rooting powder.
I have read that it works due to its antibacterial and antifungal properties however I've never tried it Plus rooting powder is way less sticky to deal with then rooting powder hahaha, if you have it on hand of course. Even if you don't have anything on hand you could still try propagating sedum. They are very easy plants.
Thanks this was helpful! The cutting that rooted at the end did it originally have the flowers at the top or did it appear in those 6 weeks?
Hi! I believe the flowers must have grown after it rooted. I usually cut the flowers off before rooting them.
Autumn Joy roots in a flower arrangement situation. You can use it in your flower arrangement and then plant it out after......it is TOUGH
Good idea!
It says it needs soilless matter to grow in? Well draining? How do I prepare a flower garden like this?
It doesn't. Plant it in the ground. Sedums are drought tolerant so they like good drainage. If you have poor drainage add compost to amend your soil.
Do you split the sedums in the fall or in the spring?
Whenever you want. They are very hardy.
So sedum angelina could be in a short ditch in front yard so we don’t have to mow?
Sedums are drought tolerant /succulents so if the ditch fills with water it would not be a good option. Otherwise, yes
@@PrettyPurpleDoor okay it doesn’t unless a lot of rain. Just trying to find something tidy, very short for the sides so we don’t have to try and get down there. 5b in Canada.
I’m a new subscriber and really like and will benefit from your advice. Would like to know what zone your garden is in. Thanks for sharing
Hello, welcome. My garden is in zone 6b
Thank you...Did eighth of the autumn fire this year I am zone 3/4. What is the preferred zone for all of these?
Most sedum are hardy in zones 3-11
Is it really necessary to remove the WHOLE PLANT of Autumn Joy sedum rather than cutting off sections all around and giving those away or replanting elsewhere?
I suppose you could dig around it but for me it's easier to pull it up and divide then put a small piece back into the hole. But if you are good with a spade I don't see why you cant do it your way. Just get a good chunk of roots for each division.
Love your shoes! What kind are they and where did you get them?
Thanks. They are vans. They were a shark week edition version that were only available for a limited time a few years ago when this was filmed.
When you say it should be actively growing how do I know that it is? Theres a sedum that’s still all green, is it not ready yet then? Until I see color? It’s august 10th, I’m not sure if that’s when they’re actively growing or still too early
Needs stalks with flowers on top. So if it's just a mound there isn't much to propagate from. And if the stalks are dead and brown, it won't work either. Does that make sense.
What's the airy white flower next to the autumn joy?
Daisy fleabane. Native volunteer
Can you root these in a glass of water?
I'm sure you could, but there's really no point since they root so easily in the dirt with very little intervention on your part😊
I live in Ontario. When is it too late to take cuttings? Thank
It may be too late but it wouldn't hurt to try since it's free to do it. Look up your "first/last frost dates" on farmers almanac website and make sure you mark that down for next year.
I also have a video on my channel about creating a gardening calender that will explain this.
Can you divide sedums in the fall? It is Oct. in Ohio and we have just bought a new house where the sedum have the whole in the middle that you showed us. Can I dig them up and divide now or do I need to wait until spring?
Yes, fall is the perfect time for dividing! I also do it during other times of the year and give away to others because I have too many now!!! ✌️
Yep absolutely you can divide now
What state are you in and what month was this in?
I am in Pennsylvania. It was early October I believe.
What stage are the plants at in this video? Beginning, middle or end of their grow cycle?
End, fall.
Good info but my advice would be to just get to the point and make this video 2 minutes long.
I think this comment could be perceived as a little rude. It's free info, and this video had so much detail & info & demonstrations. If you don't like her pacing there are other channels. Like the Garden Answer channel, she talks a mile a minute. Good info but she must drink 5 coffees a day. :-)
I definitely want to get all those varieties now to surround my garden bed borders!
I successfully got an autumn Joy cutting to root and was excited when I realized the plant hadn’t shriveled. I did it incorrectly by not cutting off the blooms though but still worked!
One step closer to unlocking Gardner achievements 😆 🪴
Thank you for showing us the varieties and the “ugly step sister” description had me laughing and I actually would choose it over sedum autumn joy due to the blush pink bloom/variegated leaves
Awesome. That's next level gardening for sure. I do love autumn charm's variegation but I like the bloom color of autumn joy more. Decisions decisions.
I just pull up some Angelina and throw the clump where i want it, and it will root. I dont even dig a hole.
Great video! One question, though. Can the leaves you removed be propagated individually as well? Will a leaf grow a “pup” or baby like some of my other succulents?
I have seen people do that. They pull the leaves off gently and try to get a tiny bit of the base of the leaf where it goes into the stem. It seems to work for some. Sedum is really easy to propagate.
Love Sedum, it fills in gaps during the summer, and then in Fall, becomes a star player in the garden.
Very well explained! It's dark now, so I have to wait until morning to try out these techniques!
Fantastic video. Thank you for the easy to understand instructions. I appreciate your time.
This looks like my cherry tart sun sparkler - do you propagate them the same?
Yes
You gave a lot of great information on this plant Sedum is very versatile.
It sure is. That's why it's so popular. Can be used in so many different scenarios and always seems to look great.
@@PrettyPurpleDoor They make great dried flower arrangements also.
Unintentionally funny. Very informative though, thank you. Didn't realize I needed Autumn Joy.
Glad you enjoyed it! I love autumn joy 😊
Love this video!!!! Thank you!!
My 1st time watching your video. Great content
I love variegated leaves. So pretty❤
Such pretty flowers and such a helpful video!!
I watched your video last year and now my sedum have taken off!!
1 big plant is now 4, and they are about 75% as big as the mother plant
Awesome!! So fun to divide plants and get more plants 😍
Do they need all the cuttings to make a plant, or will one cutting make a whole bush
One cutting will make a new plant
Thank you. Excellent teacher!
Great explanation! Thank you very much ❤
You're very welcome!
My sedum has been doing okay but starting last week, some of the flowers are turning brownish black? Can I cut it off?
It has some small ones sprouting out. Thanks so much! I found your channel this morning.
Thank you!!!!
Awesome video! The echinacea in the background is stunning 😍
Hello, I'm in zone 7, right now is fall season and is raining these pass 2 days in the northeast of NY. Can i divide my autumn joy now or best to wait till spring of 2023? Thank you
You can divide them pretty much any time. They are very hardy. I am in zone 6 and still haven't done it yet, no big deal 😊
Ohh thank you. I just rescued a sedum today and it needs some serious attention. I am going to use the cutting technique.
