The act of generating new plants from existing sedum stock is a common horticultural practice. This technique allows gardeners to expand their collections or replace aging plants in an economical fashion. Several methods exist to achieve this outcome, each suited to different plant growth habits and desired propagation speed.
Multiplying sedum offers several advantages. It permits the preservation of specific cultivars that might be difficult to source. Further, it provides a cost-effective alternative to purchasing new plants. Historically, this method has been employed to rapidly establish ground cover in expansive landscapes and to populate green roofs efficiently.
