Where to Plant

This Sedum is not cold hardy; if growing in an area that gets colder than 20°F (-6.7°C), be sure to bring it indoors for the winter months.

Full sunlight is needed to prevent stretching. If grown indoors, place under a grow light or near a sunny window.

How to Propagate Sedum oaxacanum

Sedum oaxacanum can be propagated from cuttings or leaves.

Cuttings

To grow this tender Sedum from cuttings, use a sterile, sharp knife or pair of scissors. Remove a stem from the main plant, and allow it to callous for several days before placing on well-draining soil. Water whenever the soil has dried out completely.

Leaves

Sedum oaxacanum will occasionally drop leaves, which can root where they fall. If you take a leaf for propagation, allow the leaf to dry out for several days so that the end callouses over, and then place on well-draining soil. Water whenever the soil is completely dry.
