1. Basic Identification
Common Name: Burrito Sedum
Botanical Name: Sedum morganianum
Former Name: Not available
Plant Type: Succulent
Plant Code / SKU: PLT-0309
Alternative Names:

Sedum burrito
2. Taxonomy & Classification
Order: Saxifragales
Family: Crassulaceae
Genus: Sedum
Species: Sedum morganianum
3. Origin & Distribution
Native to the tropical deciduous forests of southern Mexico and Honduras. Widely cultivated worldwide as an ornamental succulent, especially in hanging baskets and rock gardens.
4. Visual Characteristics
Trailing stems densely covered with plump, cylindrical grey-green leaves with a glaucous coating. Leaves are 1–2 cm long and 4–6 mm thick. In summer, clusters of small, star-shaped pink to reddish flowers appear at stem tips.
5. Size & Dimensions
Stems can reach 30–45 cm in length, creating a cascading effect. Individual leaves measure 1–2 cm long. Mature plants in hanging containers can spread 30–60 cm wide.
6. Light Requirements
Prefers bright light to partial sun. Tolerates several hours of direct morning or late afternoon sun. Indoors, place in a sunny window. Insufficient light leads to leggy growth and pale foliage.
7. Watering Needs
Drought tolerant; allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water thoroughly and let excess drain away. In spring and summer, water every 10–14 days; reduce to once a month in winter.
8. Soil & Potting
Use a well-draining mix such as a cactus or succulent potting soil amended with perlite or coarse sand. Ensure pots have drainage holes to prevent waterlogging and root rot.
9. Temperature & Humidity
Thrives at 65–75 °F (18–24 °C). Tolerates down to 50 °F (10 °C) but is frost-sensitive. Low humidity environments are suitable; high humidity can promote rot.
10. Fertilization
Feed monthly during the active growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, diluted (half-strength) succulent or general houseplant fertilizer. Do not fertilize in winter.
11. Maintenance & Care Level
Low maintenance and ideal for beginners. Minimal pruning required—remove dead or rotting stems. More susceptible to overwatering issues than pests or nutrient deficiencies.
12. Growth & Propagation
Propagate easily from stem cuttings or individual leaves. Allow cut ends to callus for 1–2 days before placing on or slightly into well-draining soil. Roots develop in 2–4 weeks under bright light.
13. Common Problems
Overwatering causes root rot and leaf drop. Underwatering leads to shriveled leaves. Pests include mealybugs and aphids; treat with insecticidal soap or isopropyl alcohol swabs.
14. Benefits & Uses
Popular in hanging baskets, vertical gardens, and mixed succulent arrangements for its striking trailing habit. Low water requirements make it ideal for xeriscaping and modern interior displays.
15. Toxicity & Safety
Considered non-toxic to humans and pets. Safe for households with children and animals; ingestion may cause mild gastrointestinal upset in sensitive individuals.
