Highlights
Sedum burrito (aka S. morganianum 'Burrito') (Moran): One of the best-loved trailing soft succulents. Its pendant stems grow up to 3.0' long and are covered with bead-like, green leaves. It resembles its relative, Burro's Tail, but with shorter, rounder leaves. It originated in Veracruz, Mexico, though it has yet to be found in the wild.
Burrito thrives in hanging containers with drainage holes and gritty soil. It needs plenty of sunlight and protection from frost, but can tolerate drought and neglect. Water deeply when the soil is completely dry.
Leaves of this variety can fall off easily, but leaves and stem sections are easy to propagate by placing them back in the pot to re-grow roots. With years of growth, it can form a long, dense cascade. S. morganianum does not bloom dependably, but it can produce pink flowers at the tips of the stems in spring.

Popular Questions
Those particularly mature specimens on our website were submitted by customers, so we don't know exactly how many plants are involved. Burrito does tend to drop leaves and can quickly root from these leaves confusing the issue even more. However, two or three plants will do the trick if you have time to propagate.

Succulents need grittier soil than other plants because they are adapted to dry conditions and store water in their leaves. Regular potting soil mixes stay damp for long periods of time, which can cause rot in succulents. Instead, use a sandy, well-draining soil so you can water thoroughly without leaving your succulent in standing water.

Our plants can be transplanted immediately upon arrival.
If you want to wait to transplant, they can remain in their original containers for up to a month. If the pots came in a plastic carrier tray, remove the pots from the carrier tray prior to the first watering.
Keep the plants indoors near a sunny window or outdoors under a roof (only if outdoor temperatures stay above your succulent's minimum hardiness temperature). Water only after the soil is fully dry by drenching from above with a faucet, hose, or watering can. Gently shake excess water from the leaves and allow containers to drain completely.
Fertilizing is not necessary, but it is a good option for succulent growers who want to encourage faster, larger growth. It can be used on mature plants with established roots. Only fertilize in the growing season (spring and summer for most varieties) to avoid weakening or burning dormant plants. Use a light touch and make 2-3 applications of low-Nitrogen, diluted fertilizer each year (N-P-K ratio around 5-10-10). You can find specially-formulated cactus / succulent fertilizers in most garden centers or go organic with compost tea or bone meal.
