It can also be grown as a hanging plant in pots, where its trailing stems will cascade down like a green waterfall. In addition to its ornamental value, there are 2 lesser-known secrets about this plant: it has miraculous medicinal properties for improving liver function as an herbal remedy and it can be used as a food vegetable in salads, soups and fillings. Plants in the Sedum family are easy to grow. They prefer abundant sunlight and are tolerant of high temperatures, drought and frost. They thrive in well-drained soil containing 50% sand, gravel, or perlite. During the initial stages of planting, they require moderate watering to promote growth, but standing water should be avoided to prevent rotting. Once the plants are established, they can tolerate several days of drought and their foliage color becomes even more vibrant. This is why they are a great choice for replacing lawns, as they save water and eliminate the need for mowing. They are a low-maintenance option. If you choose to propagate them manually, you can easily root cuttings by cutting them into 2-inch sections and planting them.
