Plant Care Notes:

• Sunlight: Prefers bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate a few hours of direct sun, too much sunlight may cause the plant to scorch.
• Watering: Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch. Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings to prevent root rot.
• Soil: Requires well-draining succulent or cactus mix with added perlite or pumice for optimal drainage.
• Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 70°F and 85°F (21°C to 29°C). Not frost-tolerant and should be protected from freezing temperatures.
• Dormancy: Sedum burrito is dormant in the winter, requiring minimal water during this period.
• Propagation: Can be propagated by stem cuttings or leaves.
• Pests: Generally pest-resistant but may occasionally attract mealybugs or aphids.
