3 EASY ways to propagate SEDUM - WORKS every time!!

[@wordvendor1]

Sedum are so easy. I break off stems in my yard before the fall and make a hole in the soil and spread them all over my slope. Fast, cheap, and beautiful! Propagation is the 💣! Another great video!!

[@savvydirtfarmer]

Sounds great!

[@michaelheyward7668]

One of my neighbors just up the road has a lot of Sedum and she said I can have as much as I want. Looks like it's time to take her up with the offer. Enjoyed the video!!!

[@savvydirtfarmer]

You can do it!

[@michaelheyward7668]

Thank you, Craig! Gonna give it my best. Thanks for being such an inspiration to the rest of us!

[@jlnriddick]

I love how you tell us everything, but never waste a word or ramble! "Keep your stinkin' fingers out of the way!" Your videos are truly the best, and that accent is just a killer! Thank you for sharing!

[@savvydirtfarmer]

Thanks for the kind words, and thanks for watching - glad to have you here!

[@cjminor6429]

I've had a lot of success starting the sedum leaves in shallow trays with water. I use pie pans and put the base of the leaf in the water, leaving the top of the leaf out of the water. Same is true rooting the leaves in damp medium - just keep it moist.

[@jacobezell9521]

I’ve got one of those in my yard. Never knew what it was but I’m gunna need to do this.

[@keithberry366]

Great video. Can't wait to try sedum. Thanks for the information.

[@kennyjohnson6875]

Very good thanks

[@HowardGray-dw9kf]

Love Autumn joy sedum. Hardy, low maintenance plant. Love how the flower transitions from a light pink to brilliant burnt red. Also attracts LOTS of bees. At least in my area.

[@chrishedge887]

I could not believe the sheer number of bumble bees, honey bees, the array of butterflies, & different kinds of wasps that have been all over mine this summer!! I’m propagating as many as I can for next year!!

[@Growing-Our-Retirement]

$4.00 becomes $4,000 over time. Great video!

[@savvydirtfarmer]

Yes!! Over and over and over again.

[@vickicockerell3783]

today's pennies,tomorrow's twenties :)

[@Natureluvr1987]

I have 3 of these I got on clearance rack 3 years ago and they are beautiful. I’m now trying to propagate by leaves, cuttings in water and soil and just a whole stem in the ground. I’m excited

[@savvydirtfarmer]

I like it!

[@matthewbecker2052]

Great stuff! 👍🏼

[@brotheralec8998]

Just found a sedum in my back yard. Another perennial for my nursery.

[@emmasurf8768]

Interesting to see the difference in growth time between the different methods. I also propagate in water. BTW it's not just sedum leaves but almost all succulents can propogate with leaves. I often just throw them on a tray of gravel and leave them alone till the babies show on each leaf.

[@melissaoleary8196]

Wow, I had no idea! That is awesome. ❤

[@frankeastman5499]

having two hands.... Well, that's a pretty good deal...😃😂

[@savvydirtfarmer]

Absolutely!

[@chrishedge887]

Bahahaha! No doubt!

[@awakenacres]

Thanks for another informative video. I’ll give this a try next year!

[@bonniecarlstrom6014]

👍👍 too easy! Remember to VOTE your faith and protect our children.🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸

[@Greg-su8gt]

Another great video.thank you

[@savvydirtfarmer]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@denisebalog994]

Great find for $4🌱🌱🌱🌱👍

[@savvydirtfarmer]

Yes indeed!

[@beth6085]

Curious to see how the leaf cuttings rooted on the SEDUM in the video you did a few months ago. How'd they root?

[@savvydirtfarmer]

Some just started rooting before they ffroze. We'll see in Spring what's going on with them.

[@vickicockerell3783]

can you do an update on the sedum leaves :)

[@jkkelley7582]

I love sedum and have some to propagate!! Thanks!!

[@johnbeard7404]

Excellent. Thank you.

[@pamelamercado6902]

It's too bad that all plants are not like sedum that would be fantastic. It's a good day I learned something new Thanks

[@savvydirtfarmer]

Oh, yeah... that it were that easy, right?!!

[@clayhamm7369]

Neon sedum is another variety with a very bight and intense 'neon' pink color

[@savvydirtfarmer]

yes! I had some this Spring and when I do, the Autumn Joy don't sell and the neon's do. I didn't keep any to propagate... should have.

[@schultzestrength]

Roughly how much woody material do you put in your potting mix?

[@savvydirtfarmer]

Probably 60-40, pine bark to hardwood bark

[@mariesuen930]

⁠@@savvydirtfarmerdo you meant apart from 60-40% bark the rest of it was normal soil? Thank you.

[@sharonfox5643]

I dig one up trying to get some ditch lilies out of the area from taking over the Sedum. I set the plant in a pot, took cutting and put them in the same pot. I also set the leaves in the pot. I can see I cut the leaves wrong. It's ok. There's more to cut and try. I am wondering if I can just set the pot close to the other Sedum and leave it there all winter. I'm in middle Tennessee 6b.

[@chrishedge887]

Good question. I’m in NE Arkansas. Hopeful

[@redwood1957]

Thanks you could you just rip the leave off the stem for the leave method?

[@savvydirtfarmer]

yes

[@ibisman1593]

Great Channel, I LIKE.

[@savvydirtfarmer]

Thanks for the visit

[@marysmith6063]

What do you use as a protection for this kind of plant over the winter?

[@savvydirtfarmer]

These sedum will just sit out in the open in their pots all winter with no protection at all... most plants will do that as well. NOT ALL plants.

[@Bibsy1]

"Keep your stinking fingers out of the way"! LOL.I was a first time pruner of a dwarf maple tree years ago and chopped my pinky 3/4 of the way through with brand new snippers. UGH!

[@savvydirtfarmer]

I've cut my fingers enough to know you can end up in the ER quickly from pruning shear carelessness!

[@vickicockerell3783]

i have never tried the leaf method,what success rate do you have with them?

[@savvydirtfarmer]

Very high when done at the right time… fresh, tender leaves, good shade and moisture

[@emilyredman4999]

Thanks for the great video! Would you please share what kind of fertilizer you use?

[@savvydirtfarmer]

Florikan 18-5-12

[@emilyredman4999]

Thank you!

[@hilshils3426]

2 weeks ago i rooted some stems in water! Lots of roots so now need to be planted up. Do i remove the tips to stop early flowering and make the plants bushier?

[@savvydirtfarmer]

Probably a good idea. I don't root plants in water, so I don't know for sure.

[@danradtke1663]

Try purple alliums. Another great plant to divide. Keep up the great work.

[@savvydirtfarmer]

Great suggestion!

[@teresaholland4790]

Great job 👏

[@gregboshell977]

I am doing cuttings of yellow belles after they root can i take and put them in a 8 ounce Styrofoam cup i don't have any 1 trade gallon pot

[@savvydirtfarmer]

Sure... can't see why not; they propagate easily as well/

[@chrishedge887]

New sedum gardener here. Should I be worried about the holes in the leaves some kind of bug has made?? I could not see ANY bugs at all but the leaves have been chewed on & I noticed some leaves in video with same bug holes chewed thru & around edges.

[@savvydirtfarmer]

They are all about to lose their leaves and die back to the ground for winter. You'll see them again next Spring. No worries.
