How to Propagate Sedum adolphii aka Golden Sedum

Propagation of Golden Sedum is straightforward and rapid.

Leaves

Propagate leaves by selecting a healthy leaf and gently twisting it from the stem. Ensure no leaf remains on the stem. Allow the leaf to callous for several days, then lay it on well-draining soil. Water when the soil is completely dry. Once roots and a rosette appear and the original leaf withers, plant the new growth.

Cuttings

Take cuttings using a sharp, sterile knife or scissors. Cut a stem from the Sedum cluster and let it callous for a few days. Plant the cutting in well-draining soil once calloused.
