you dont need to break them up, just cut branches off when they start to get woody towards the bottom, mid july maybe through early august. Strip 2 sets of leaves and cut just above the 3rd set so theres a significant stem under the leaves and stick it into the ground all the way to the leaves and a lot of them will grow like that. The tender part towards the very end might not produce roots, but the firmer bottom parts usually will. You can typically make 2 to 3 new plants from each stem. like this, you can make 50 new plants from a single large sedum fairly easily. They also start in pots fairly well, but dont use soil that has fertilizer in it. The ones I planted near my asparagus were in pots for 1 year before I moved them to my land. They overwinter fine in pots also, no real protection needed, just water them good before they freeze. Soil you stick them in should be damp but not wet, if its wet the might rot before the roots form.
