Plant Care
- Light: Sedum Burrito Moran thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, particularly in the morning, but too much intense afternoon sun can cause leaf burn.
- Watering: Water thoroughly when the soil is completely dry. Be cautious not to overwater, as this succulent is prone to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during the winter months.
- Soil: Use a well-draining soil mix, such as a cactus or succulent mix. Adding perlite or pumice can improve drainage and prevent water retention.
- Temperature: This plant prefers temperatures between 59-86°F (15-30°C). It is not frost-tolerant and should be kept above 50°F (10°C) to avoid damage.
- Humidity: Sedum Burrito Moran prefers low to moderate humidity levels. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal issues, especially in more humid environments.
- Fertilization: Fertilize once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, diluted succulent fertilizer. Avoid fertilizing in the dormant winter months.
- Container: Use a container with drainage holes to prevent water accumulation. Hanging baskets or shallow pots are ideal to showcase its trailing nature.
- Pruning: Prune to remove dead or damaged stems and to maintain the desired shape. Pruning can also encourage more compact growth.
- Propagation: Propagate through stem cuttings or by rooting fallen leaves. Allow cuttings or leaves to callus for a few days before planting in well-draining soil.
- Pests: Common pests include aphids, mealybugs, and spider mites. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil, and inspect the plant regularly to catch pest issues early.
- Support: Sedum Burrito Moran typically does not require additional support. Ensure it has enough space to trail and spread naturally, and provide adequate light and air circulation to maintain its health.
