the soil should be well drained, a regular cactus mix or a mix between humus, sand and gritty (2:1:1) can be used.
during spring/summer sedum burrito needs to be good waterd, what runs out of the pot’s hole should be removed after a few minutes. overwatering can cause rotten roots. before adding water next allow to dry.
in spring and summer a half strength standard or cactus fertilizer can be given monthly.
for blooming in spring, sedum burrito should be placed at 10-15 °c/50-59°f during winter. now it has to be kept nearly dry, without fertilizing. if placed warmer give it as much light as you can.
