    When I first saw the bent stonecrop of the Cristatum variety, I was surprised at its unusual shape - curved shoots that resemble fabric ruffles. For the interesting structure of the stems among the people, the plant was called "cockscomb". I was assured that this is an unpretentious perennial, but I did not immediately make friends with him.
    The purchased delenka was planted in a semi-shady place with sandy soil among perennials. But for several years it practically did not develop.
    Last season, in the spring, I decided to transplant Cristatum to a sunny flower bed next to other types of stonecrops. And he seemed to come alive! Shoots began to grow and form "scallops".
    Success Components
    Stonecrops love open sunny areas and do not tolerate constantly wet soil.
    Grow them in light, well-drained soil.
    I don't feed anything and I don't water it.

    Ophthalmologist: cultivation and care. Varieties of the cleaner.

    The charming stonecrops that adorn my alpine hill are propagated by cuttings and division.

    Cutting
    At the end of July (it is possible throughout the season) I cut the stems and leaves for grafting. I pre-dry them on a piece of dense cloth for a clock, and then I plant them in a mixture of leafy earth and sand (1: 1).
    I do not fertilize plantings - all care consists in rare watering. Within a year, the rooted cuttings turn into small "islets".
    COUNCIL
    To make tall sedum varieties look well-groomed and not thicken, I periodically cut them. And I use the trimmed parts for grafting.

    Division
    Older plants that have already grown well, I propagate by dividing the bush. In the spring, I dig up stonecrop, carefully cut the rhizome into pieces with a sharp knife - each piece should have several points of growth. I process the delenki with "Fundazol" (according to the instructions), dry them and plant them in the ground.

    I wanted to clarify the presence of a single plant on the site of a nearby nursery and was completely confused with the names: I type the name of this perennial "cleansing" in my search, and I get very different plants on the page, apparently ground-covering. And to me the necessary purification is prominent, according to my ideas, not the soil-blood of some, but a plant about half a meter in height.
    I had to understand.

    It turned out that the right plant I needed was called the OCHNITCH visible, and in the modern world its closest relatives are called stonecrops, or sedums. And if grapevines are really plants with straight stems 50-70 cm high and large inflorescences-umbrellas, then stonecrops (sedums) form thickets pressed to the ground. These are the differences between two different plant species.
