The growth and development evaluation of the ornamental plant Goldmoss stonecrop (Sedum acre L.) applied with different doses of sewage sludge was the focus of this study. Sedum acre growing for two months continued in vessels containing 500 g of nutrient soil in the greenhouse. Chorological analysis showed the Crassulaceae species distribution covered three different areas of the Irano-Turanian Province. The experimental technique also met the requirements for the vegetation experiment. During the growing season, the morphological parameters of plants and the chlorophyll content in the Sedum acre L. leaves succeeded detection. The application of municipal waste developed the variations in ash content of the soil and positively affected the phosphorus and potassium contents. The work established an observable relationship between an increased dose of sewage sludge and the variations in acidity of the peat soil. In Sedum acre L., the obtained maximum plant biomass emerged with the recommended dose of sewage sludge and fertilization added to the soil.

In Goldmoss stonecrop (S. acre L.), it is advisable to use fertilization in the soil. The phenological observations of Sedum acre L.’s different vegetative stages (flower bud swelling, flowering, fruit setting, and fruit ripening) emerge as first-time research, considering them as innovative from an environmental viewpoint.
