Propagating Sedums

Gosh you have been busy, well done on your propagation efforts.

Well done Shirley, It's good to try different methods.I was never successful with trying to root in water, and I haven't tried leaf cuttings,but stem cuttings are my preferred way..

If Sedum 'Purple Emperor' grows as big as mine,they will almost need a border of their own..they are huge this year ! Lol.

Thanks Siris, it keeps me out of trouble!

Julia, I hope so too ... :o)

Sandra, you probably remember the S. Purple Emperor originally came from Carole, a long time ago. I agree with you, they can grow soooo big.

Yes, It did come from Carole, Shirley,one of my favourite plants,and from that one little cutting,I now have six big ones ! Great gap fillers,and so hardy. .:o).

How very worthwhile your process of propagating sedums is and you have quite a little cottage industry going there!! Thank you for showing us and explaining it to us. I feel sure you will have a lot of success with it.

Sandra, I think there are plants from GoY folk all over the U.K.!!

Thanks Chris, I just hope they make it to bigger plants ... watch this space!

Thanks you Klahanie, my OH now wonders what else I may want to propagate and thinks plants will be stripped for cuttings soon. Then again, he knows very little about gardening at all!

Snap! After watching Beechgrove gardening programme where a lady showed how to propagate, I did some and have now got some small shoots coming from the leaves! Not all of them took however as the snails had a munch…. Will post a photo on my photos for you to see.

Ams, well done with your Sedum leaf cuttings. I just commented on your photo of them. I must admit I haven't watched Beechgrove for many years and shall have to look out for it.

That was very interesting, Shirley!

Thanks David, as it's the first time I have tried leaf cuttings I am feeling pleased as Punch!! Now, let's think what other plants I could try this method with ... :o)

Well done Shirley !
I haven't propagated anything this year, I'm trying to get the garden organised first (unsuccessfully !)

Hywel, they are still alive but not showing much growth so far. As to your garden, take it one day at a time, you'll get there eventually ... :o))
