Sedum morganianum 'Burrito', more commonly known as Burro's Tail, is a captivating and highly sought-after succulent. This unique plant is celebrated for its long, trailing stems covered in chubby, teardrop-shaped leaves, creating a beautiful and distinctive cascading effect. Its graceful, rope-like appearance makes it an ideal choice for hanging baskets, high shelves, or as a trailing element in a succulent arrangement.

 

 

Detailed Description

 

Sedum morganianum 'Burrito' is a perennial succulent that forms long, pendulous stems. The stems can grow to several feet in length and are densely covered with plump, blue-green to pale-green leaves. The leaves are typically shorter and rounder than those of the classic Burro's Tail (Sedum morganianum), which gives the 'Burrito' cultivar its name.

 

The leaves are delicate and can easily fall off with the slightest touch, but this is a natural characteristic of the plant and also makes it very easy to propagate. The plant's overall form creates a stunning visual display as it cascades over the side of its container.

 

In late spring and summer, mature plants can produce small, pink or red flowers at the tips of the stems, adding a delicate touch of color.

 

 

Growing Tips

 

This succulent is relatively easy to care for, but it has specific needs to thrive, particularly regarding its delicate leaves.

  • Sunlight: Burro's Tail thrives in bright, indirect light to partial sun. To maintain its compact leaf growth and prevent legginess, provide at least 4-6 hours of bright light per day. Too much direct, harsh sun can scorch the leaves, while too little light can cause the stems to stretch out and the leaves to be more spaced out.

     

  • Fertilizing: Fertilize sparingly. During the active growing season (spring and summer), a diluted, balanced succulent or cactus fertilizer can be applied once every two to three months. Avoid fertilizing in the fall and winter.

  • Handling: The leaves are very fragile. It's best to handle the plant as little as possible to avoid dislodging the leaves.

 

Temperature and Hardiness

 

Sedum morganianum 'Burrito' prefers warm, dry conditions.

 

  • Temperature: It thrives in average room temperatures between 65°F and 80°F (18°C to 27°C).

  • Hardiness Zones: It is not frost-tolerant and should be protected from freezing temperatures. It is hardy in USDA zones 10-11 and should be grown as a houseplant or in a greenhouse in colder climates.

     

 

Water Requirements

 

Overwatering is the biggest threat to this plant. It is highly drought-tolerant and stores a significant amount of water in its leaves.

 

  • Watering Frequency: Use the "soak and dry" method. Allow the soil to dry out completely before watering again. When you do water, do so deeply, but take care to avoid getting water on the leaves, as this can cause them to rot or fall off.

  • Seasonal Changes: Reduce watering significantly in the cooler, less active months. The plant can go for a month or more without water during the winter.

     

 

Soil Preparation

 

Well-draining soil is crucial for the health of your Burro's Tail.

  • Ideal Mix: A commercial succulent or cactus potting mix is a perfect choice.

  • DIY Mix: You can create your own gritty mix by combining regular potting soil with inorganic materials like perlite, pumice, or coarse sand. A mix with at least 50% inorganic material is highly recommended for optimal drainage.

     

  • Potting: Always use a pot with a drainage hole. Hanging baskets are a popular choice to showcase the plant's cascading stems.

     

 

Propagation

 

Propagating Burro's Tail is remarkably easy and is one of the plant's most appealing features.

  • Leaf Cuttings: The fallen leaves can be used to grow new plants.

     

    1. Gently place the leaves on top of well-draining soil. Do not bury them.

    2. Keep the soil slightly moist by misting it occasionally.

    3. Be patient; it may take a few weeks or months, but new roots and a tiny plantlet will eventually emerge from the base of the leaf.

       

  • Stem Cuttings: This is the fastest way to get a new, larger plant.

    1. Take a healthy stem cutting that is a few inches long.

    2. Allow the cut end to "callous over" for a day or two to prevent rot.

    3. Plant the cutting directly into well-draining soil.

    4. Water sparingly until the new plant has established roots.

Stick format is thick and difficult to rub in moderate climates
Style: SPF 50, Size: 1 count (Pack of 1)
I wanted to like it because the small stick format seemed very convenient to keep in my bag for emergency sunscreen reapplication with no chance of leaks. But I think I have learned my lesson about stick sunscreen - in order to hold together in a stick, it has to have a thick and chalky consistency. Which makes it hard to apply and hard to rub in. It's so thick that if I rub the stick over my entire face it feels like I'm applying way too much with a super heavy white cast, and if I dab here and there and try to spread it around, it's so thick it doesn't feel like it spreads into good coverage. The scent is fine. Update: I have found a specific use case for this - in extreme UV conditions like the equatorial tropics in midsummer, it's a good base layer under a more liquid mineral sunscreen, to add extra protection to the most exposed skin, like tops of shoulders, chest, nose and top of forehead. The thickness makes it protect better. It also softens a little and rubs in better in hot temps.

Needs to be warmed, but works great for quick face re-application
Style: SPF 50, Size: 1 count (Pack of 1)
I love mineral sunscreen, it really works the best. But I also do not love mineral sunscreen because it's hard to apply. I don't think it matters what you do, they're just always difficult to apply and always leaving the white. This one isn't much different. I'm a scuba diver and my face sunscreen is washed off quickly doing multiple dives. I also get a weird "mask sunburn" if I don't reapply... but since I'm a diver I can't bring myself to buy or wear sunscreen that's not reef safe into the ocean. I was unsure if this would work because it's pretty solid. I threw it in my bag and once the sun warmed it up a little, I was able to apply it fairly easily between dives. I don't think it works unless it's warmed a bit first, but I like it for this purpose.

I Wanted to Like It
Style: SPF 50, Size: 1 count (Pack of 1)
I really wanted to like it because of the great reviews it gets with backpackers and generally with people that don't like "greasy hands syndrome" after applying sunscreen. But after using a stick I found that it's just not that good. The good: small, lightweight container. Not greasy. Good protection, I was in the sun all day hiking multiple days straight and only put on sunscreen twice per day and I didn't have any burning... and I burn easily. The bad: Value: the $12.53 sunscreen container only lasted about 8 days. And that was just my arms, neck, and half my face since I wore a shirt and long pants and a wide brim hat every day when hiking. I would expect this amount of sunscreen to last a lot longer than that on such a limited area. I'm not a big person either. Application, chafing: it's the opposite of greasy, almost chalky. You use the stick to apply to your skin in stripes, then you have to "blend it in" by rubbing with the backs of your hands so your palms don't get chalky. Since the stick is so dry this requires a fair amount of force and it chafes as you rub it around. When your skin a bit sandy it hurts. Application, crumbling: on a chilly but sunny morning, about 45 F, I applied sunscreen and small chunks of the stick crumbled off. I watched precious chunks of the already overpriced sunscreen drop to the ground. Residue: while it's not greasy, it's physical sunblock so it gives your skin the characteristic whitish sparkle. That's to be expected. But what I didn't foresee is it will rub off on anything your skin touches. My gear had white chalk-like marks (technically titania powder?) on my shirt collars, backpack straps, sunglasses, and a few other high-touch items. Overall I think it's a neat idea. I'm not overly disappointed with my purchase. But for $12.50 I expect sunscreen to be easier to apply and for the container to last longer than about 8 days. I can't burn $50/month in the summer months when a single container of chemical sunscreen will do the job. Pro tip: you can buy food-safe 3 oz TSA travel containers. Load one of those up with chemical sunscreen and you have something that beats this in every way except for the greasiness, which you can mitigate by picking a lower SPF sunscreen (the 30 SPF you wear is infinitely better than the 50 SPF you skip!).
