Maintenance
Caring for your Sedum 'Burrito' is straightforward. A care guide suggests plenty of bright, indirect sunlight. While it can handle some direct sun, too much can scorch the leaves. A location with bright, filtered light is best. For watering, use the "soak and dry" method. Water thoroughly but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. Be gentle with the plant, as the leaves can easily detach.
Placement
The best spot for your Sedum 'Burrito' is one where its long, trailing stems can be appreciated. A high shelf, hanging planter, or windowsill are all great choices
