Fetthenne is best propagated vegetatively
The stonecrop (Sedum), also known as stonecrop, does not make high site claims. The plant thrives almost everywhere, whether in the garden or in window boxes. Through the propagation of cuttings, you will gain many species-specific seedlings, which, for example, provide enough material for elegant marginal planting. Older perennials can be propagated and rejuvenated by division.

As a thick-leafed plant, the stonecrop is best propagated through leaf cuttings; d. H. a single leaf is enough to grow a new plant out of it. In this way, not flowering shoots can be wonderfully used as cuttings. The best time for a cuttings propagation is the spring between April and May.
The cuttings can be planted in their predetermined place as soon as new leaves have formed.
Propagation by division
Very large specimens can be in the spring by division both multiply and rejuvenate. To
Of course, you can also put the plants in pots.
Sow the fat hen
If you want to collect seeds yourself, just leave the faded inflorescences to stand and then - depending on the type and variety of the fat hen - you can collect the ripe seeds in October or November. In the spring, simply sow the fine seeds on the prepared soil (thoroughly dig up and finely crumble) and moisten them. Since the fat hen belongs to the light germs, a covering with earth or sand is not necessary. Alternatively, simply leave the seeds on the plant, because the fat hens sow themselves very reliably.
