How to Grow a Burrito Sedum

Gather a 3-inch-long stem cutting from the burrito sedum in late spring. Sever the cutting using a utility knife with a fresh, clean blade. Pull off the leaves from along the lower half of the burrito sedum cutting.

Set the sedum burrito cutting in a warm, dry place for five to seven days to dry out the end, which will keep the cutting from rotting. Pot the cutting only when the end takes on a hard, whitish appearance.

Prepare a pot for the burrito sedum cutting once the end callouses over. Fill a 3-1/2-inch plastic pot with a mixture of three parts coarse sand and one part loam. Fill the pot to within two centimeters of the brim.

Pour 3 tbsp. of water into the pot to lightly moisten the top inch of soil. Let the water soak into the soil for 10 minutes before potting the burrito sedum cutting.

Poke a 1-1/2-inch-deep hole into the soil in the pot. Insert the leafless bottom half of the burrito sedum cutting into the soil up to its lowest set of leaves. Press the soil firmly against the stem.

Set the potted burrito sedum cutting on a windowsill with bright, indirect light and temperatures above 68 F. Water the soil with 3 tbsp. of water whenever it feels dry below the surface.

Check for roots in two weeks by carefully attempting to lift the burrito sedum cutting from the soil. Keep the cutting in its original pot until it grows too large, then transplant it into a 4- or 6-inch-wide plastic pot filled with succulent potting mix.
