Sedum morganianum ‘Burrito’ is a particularly graphic, drought-tolerant succulent that develops thick trailing stems covered with overlapping, plump, blue-green leaves as it grows.
Star-shaped flowers in pink or red may appear at the tips of stems in summer.
Often combined with a pot decorated with a face, the stems of this Crassulacae do indeed resemble thick braids or dredlocks.
As with many succulents, it requires 4-5 hours of indirect sunlight and then the hair will begin to grow.
Watering approach : use the “Soak and dry” approach – once every two or three weeks should be sufficient.
Unless you notice the leaves are getting soft and wrinkly, in which case, add more water!
Nota bene: When the temperatures drop below 5°C, the plant will enter a dormant phase but needs to be taken inside!
A final note, the leaves on Mr Burrito are fragile – if you want to minimize leaf drop during daily care, try to avoid touching the leaves whenever possible.
The Tale:
Sedum Burrito and Sedum Morganianum are often confused due to their similar appearance (and names and color and general everything).
However, let’s take a closer look at Sedum Morganianum.
It has crescent-shaped leaves > hence its common name ‘Donkey Tail’ or ‘Burro’s Tail’.
Sedum Burrito has short, round leaves that resemble buttons or gummies and make it particularly adorable.
We are dealing here with the latter. Mr Burrito.
