Plant Care

Light: Provide bright, indirect sunlight for your Burrito Sedum. It enjoys ample light but prefers protection from direct, intense sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. A south or west-facing window with filtered sunlight is ideal.

Temperature: Maintain a warm indoor environment with temperatures between 60-75°F (15-24°C). Protect the plant from cold drafts, as it is sensitive to temperature fluctuations.

Watering: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water sparingly and thoroughly, as Burrito Sedum is highly drought-tolerant. Overwatering can lead to root rot. Water even less in the dormant season (fall and winter).

Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent potting mix. Good drainage is essential to prevent waterlogged soil. A mix of potting soil, perlite, and sand works well.

Pot: Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water accumulation at the root level. Burrito Sedum prefers slightly crowded conditions and does not require frequent repotting.

Fertilization: Feed your Burrito Sedum sparingly. Apply a balanced, water-soluble cactus or succulent fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid over-fertilizing.

Pests: Burrito Sedum is relatively pest-resistant, but occasionally, mealybugs or aphids may appear. Inspect your plant regularly and treat any infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
