Sedum Morganianum, Baby Burrito's Tail

Sedum morganianum ‘Baby Burrito’, commonly known as Baby Burro’s Tail, is a trailing succulent prized for its plump, overlapping, blue-green leaves that resemble tiny burritos. This plant is a variation of the standard Burro’s Tail but features shorter, more compact leaves. Its cascading growth makes it an excellent choice for hanging baskets, container gardens, or as a trailing accent in rock gardens.

• Size: Can grow up to 12–24 inches (30–60 cm) long, with stems densely covered in chubby, rounded leaves.
• Hardiness: Prefers warm temperatures and is hardy in USDA zones 9–11. Not frost-tolerant.
• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. If kept indoors, place near a sunny window with plenty of filtered light. Outdoor plants should receive morning sun with light afternoon shade to prevent scorching.
• Soil: Requires well-draining soil, such as a cactus or succulent mix. Adding perlite or sand can improve drainage.
• Watering: Use the "soak and dry" method—water thoroughly and allow the soil to dry completely before watering again. Reduce watering in winter.
• Temperature: Ideal range is 65–80°F (18–27°C). Protect from temperatures below 40°F (4°C) to prevent leaf drop.
• Repotting: Repot only when necessary, as this plant is delicate and easily loses leaves when handled. Use a shallow, wide pot with drainage holes.
• Indoor Care: Place near a bright window, such as a south- or east-facing window, and rotate occasionally for even growth.
• Outdoor Care: Provide protection from heavy rain, which can cause rot. If grown in a hot climate, avoid prolonged exposure to intense afternoon sun.
• Maintenance: Avoid touching the plant too much, as its leaves fall off easily. If leaves drop, they can be propagated into new plants. Fertilize lightly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted succulent fertilizer.
