Plant propagation, specifically within the Sedum genus, refers to the process of creating new plants from existing parent stock. This can be achieved through various methods, including stem cuttings, leaf cuttings, and division of established clumps. The resulting offspring inherit the characteristics of the parent plant, allowing for faithful replication of desired traits.
The practice of multiplying Sedum plants offers numerous advantages. It enables gardeners to expand their collections economically, preserving favorite cultivars and filling garden spaces at a fraction of the cost of purchasing new plants. Historically, vegetative propagation has been a cornerstone of horticulture, facilitating the widespread distribution of desirable plant varieties.
