How to Propagate a Sedum Spurium Plant

My mother has a sedum spurium plant that I absolutely love. Could you tell me how to propagate it? Thank you for your help. Vickie

Hi Vickie,

You didn’t include a picture so I think this is the plant your Mom has.

Sedum spurium tricolor (Stonecrop)

This type of sedum, which is a succulent plant, has small green, pink, and creamy white leaves. It is also called “stonecrop.” In the summer it gets pink  flowers. Sedum is very easy to propagate, just break off  pieces of the stem during the early days of summer and plant them in some soil. It doesn’t even matter if the soil is normal, sandy, or clay. Here’s what it looks like in bloom.
