Sedum 'Burrito' (Burro's Tail) Leaf Drop and Propagation

Some Leaf Drop Is Normal; Easy Propagation from Fallen Leaves

Your newly purchased Sedum morganianum 'Burrito' (Burro's Tail) dropped some of its plump, grape-like leaves after a slightly heavy watering. It’s in filtered light and growing rapidly.

Why Leaves Fall

• Normal shedding of older leaves.
• Physical disturbance – moving or bumping the plant.
• Soil getting too dry between waterings.
• Adjustment to a new environment.
• A single heavy watering does not cause leaf drop.

Better Light = Better Growth

Burro's Tail thrives in direct sun. Consider moving it where it gets at least a few hours of direct sunlight daily.

Your Care Is Good

• Not repotting – correct.
• Letting soil dry very thoroughly between waterings – correct.

Propagating Fallen Leaves

Simply lay the fallen leaves on the surface of slightly moist soil. They will root and form baby plantlets on their own – no special effort needed.

With more sun and your current watering routine, your plant will thrive.
