You plant red sedum in well drained soil in a sunny location. The roots are not very deep.
Almost all Sedums you can buy or find are perennials. A few (eg Sedum cepaea) are annuals. A number seed themselves so freely ( depending on your weather conditions where you live) that they are better grown as annuals ( ie grown again from seed), or from cuttings because they put so much effort into flowering and seeding that the remaining plant is in poor shape.
Burro's tail (Sedum morganianum) is a hanging or trailing succulent plant, but it is not considered an aerial plant. It typically grows downward rather than relying on air for support.
Tall sedum plants can become top-heavy when they bloom. You can help keep them upright by providing support with stakes or installing a plant hoop around the base of the plant. Additionally, spreading a layer of mulch around the plant can help provide additional support and keep the soil moist.
Yes, it is the best way to propagate them, and I have grown many this way. They take root very easily, just place in soil, sand or potting mix. Some varieties can also be multiplied by dividing the roots.
Yes, some species of sedum plants are found in desert regions. These succulent plants are well suited to arid environments due to their ability to store water in their fleshy leaves. Sedums can often be found growing in sandy, rocky, or dry soils in desert landscapes.
Aphids are the most likely suspects for feeding on and disfiguring your sedum plant. Either the black sedum aphid or the melon aphid may be hiding beneath the leaves and buds of a sedum plant.
Sedum Acre can be pulled back and plant something that is more aggressive where you don't want the sedum.
You can take cuttings of sedum and root them. This is asexual reproduction. However, sedum do have flowers and make seeds. This is sexual reproduction.

Aphids, black vine weevils, fungus gnats, mealybugs, and scale are the kinds of bugs that eat a sedum plant. Gnats and larval weevils focus upon the roots whereas the adult weevils chew upon foliage. Aphids, mealybugs, and scale prey upon foliage and stems to remove the plant's internal, life-sustaining sap.
Move or divide your sedum in the spring because it blooms in the fall. It does not have very deep roots. Plant in a sunny location with well drained soil.
sunflower, strawberry, salvia, sage, sago palm, sedum,
Sedum, comes in many varities and has beautiful blooms. I have those darn slugs....they don't touch the Sedum...and, any type of fern!!
To successfully transplant sedum to a new location, carefully dig up the plant, ensuring you get as much of the root system as possible. Choose a new location with well-draining soil and adequate sunlight. Plant the sedum at the same depth as it was in its original location and water it thoroughly. Monitor the plant closely for the first few weeks to ensure it establishes well in its new environment.
They seem to leave Autumn Joy sedum alone but will eat Xenox sedum.
Small amounts will cause a stomach ache but call your vet.
The biggest predator of sedum is slugs.
