The Sedum ‘Burrito’ thrives in bright, indirect light, making it ideal for indoor environments. Place it near a south- or east-facing window for optimal growth. This succulent prefers a well-draining soil mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend. Water thoroughly when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry, using the “soak and dry” method to prevent overwatering and root rot. During the winter months, reduce watering frequency to once every 3-4 weeks.

This plant is not frost-hardy, so it’s best to keep it in temperatures between 65–80°F (18–27°C). If you live in a colder climate, bring your Sedum ‘Burrito’ indoors during the winter to protect it from freezing temperatures. Propagation is easy with leaf or stem cuttings.
