Taking Sedum Cuttings vs. Digging When Bees Are Present

Better Option: Dig It Up

If the plant is covered in bees, hire a neighbor to dig up a section. It's faster, more reliable, and avoids bee stings.

If You Must Take Cuttings

• Take 8-inch stems, strip all but top 2 leaves.
• Stick in moist soilless mix; keep warm.
• Roots in 2 weeks, but up to 50% may rot.

Recommendation

Digging is far superior for sedum. Cuttings are a backup only.
