How to prune golden sedum

Early spring as new growth begins. Pinch stem tips just above a leaf node using clean fingers or scissors to promote branching. Cut back leggy stems by up to one-third. Remove dead leaves at the base by pulling gently downward. Cuttings callous in a day or two before potting.

Annually in spring, or as needed when stems become leggy. Golden Sedum is a low-growing succulent that needs minimal pruning. Pinch or trim leggy stems in spring to encourage compact, bushy growth — plants can become straggly in low light. Remove dead or frost-damaged leaves at any time. Trimmings root easily, so save them for propagation.
