How to Pinch Your Autumn Joy Sedum to have a Fuller Plant

[@williamjbreenjr4466]

Very helpful. I never thought about pinching our Autumn Joys! I’ll definitely try this next year. Thanks

[@Luvyatilyouactup]

I have a similar upright sedum called Munstead Dark Red and never thought to pinch it. This video is just what I needed. Thank you for the tip!

Thanks for watching!

You could cut little bit lower, take cuttings and produce new plants. Have a nice day.

[@TheGardenMouse]

Yes, I haven't tried that, but have heard they propogate well!

[@zoranlazovic9970]

Yes, as majority of sedums, rooting hormon not needed.

[@ellenhartley4998]

Can you root the part that you cut off for a new plant?

[@TheGardenMouse]

Yes, you can. I haven't tried it myself, but supposedly they root pretty quickly!

[@ellenhartley4998]

@TheGardenMouse awesome! Worth a try.

[@TheGardenMouse]

@@ellenhartley4998 Let me know how it goes!

[@ellenhartley4998]

@@TheGardenMouse I sure will. I have to buy some plant first! Lol New home and there are hardly any plants. Clean slate for me! But lots of work ahead.

[@beckyj44]

Thanks for the info. Can you propagate the cuttings?

[@TheGardenMouse]

Yes, you should be able to propogate the cutting much like you would with a coleus....I haven't tried it myself, though! Let me know what happens if you do!

[@IsaiahSuarez-iu7vv]

Yes you can with all succulents you can

Deer ate the tops off of sedum in May What can.I do to.get.tjem to recober?

[@TheGardenMouse]

Uh oh! Hopefully it is early enough they will recover quickly. Not much you can do!

[@suzannehope6307]

them to recover! I did propagate some from last year. They did well in water. Many new plants but deer have found them also👎 Gotta keep on keeping on.

[@dbueter]

What conifer is planted behind your sedum? It's a beautiful combination.

[@TheGardenMouse]

@@dbueter Thank you. They are some type of arborvitae, but I don't know what kind. They were here when we moved in.

[@mybestideas1]

She says go down 6 inches, then goes down 3 LOL Also, take the top that you cut and just plant it to the soil, in no time it will be a nice plant.

[@TheGardenMouse]

That is a good idea!

[@augustvukosovich4683]

Will cutting that high up make the plant top heavy?

[@TheGardenMouse]

I haven't had any trouble with that yet.
