Cultivare

Sedum spathulifolium se dezvoltă în soarele plin sau în semisombrit și preferă soluri bine aeriate care pot fi legărate (sandy), medii, sau grele (clay). Este tolerabil la lipsa de apă dar crește și în condiții umide. Perenul necesită o apă minimă uneori stabilizată. Foarte rezistent la zonile 6-10, este potrivit pentru regiuni temperate. Propagează-te prin diviziune sau prin îndelungări. Collectează frunzele pentru utilizarea culinara.
