How to handle Sedum Burrito and other delicate succulents | LP BITES

[@b.rileyjowett6925]

The nice thing about succulents is if you accidentally break them you just end up with more plants.

[@Cerriscapades]

Bahahahaha, so true!

[@carmelachavez273]

Was so helpful to sharing your skill on how to handle Sedum Burrito and similar plants. Thank you Chuck.

[@florjohnebuenga1578]

thanks for this chuck! had a hard time propagating my sedum species then I found out that they just dont want to be handled and i never bothered them ever since haha. now they are thriving in a large pot at the top of our roof deck

[@Cerriscapades]

Yeah a bit of tender-loving-neglect works lol

[@loopylou]

Your garden is beautiful! Lovely selection.

[@ready2run2006]

Those sedum burrito gives me so much stress. Weather permitting I would probably just do the Laura Eubanks way, cut the tops and replant as cuttings into fresh soil, and put the stumps aside in the garden of death and see if it will put out new growth. 😜 Anyways, can’t wait to see all those baskets filled up! Really loving how your pergola is coming along.

[@Cerriscapades]

Haha yeah there's always that option!

[@optimisticme8525]

This video helps me too much! I had no idea how to replant my sedum burrito. Thanks for the tips!

[@rubyirenemateo5997]

I love the way you handle sensitive leaves such as these. I have to practice it hehe. God bless you

[@hannahsanchez121]

Thanks for this video! It was so helpful!

[@natureishappiness8742]

Interesting video. I usually use surgical forcep to take out delicate succulents and also to clean the pot from dried up leaves

[@angie3504]

It’s like delicate surgery. Great video.👍🏻

[@hinteregions]

Very interesting and enjoyable; my own little 'method' consists in doing the job very, very, very slowly XD

[@Cerriscapades]

Haha yeah, that always works!

[@Monica-hr1qx]

Love your videos and sense of humor

[@Quelindasuculenta]

I was a nervous wreck the whole video 🤣🤣🤣. Good tips though 👍🏽. Thanks for sharing!

[@jeanine6492]

Some great tips, thanks!

[@Cerriscapades]

Glad you find them useful!

[@debiegordon3787]

TG the leaves make more right! For me, I use scissors to cut the Burrow Tail. Sure Like those cute Jelly Beans💚💚💚

[@charliekelmeckis4334]

Love this vid! Didn’t skip the ads hehe. I was wondering what the blueish green succulent ground cover is behind u. Looks like tiny rosettes so I’m just guessing it’s some kind of echeveria? But I didn’t know they spread like that!

[@sable10]

Awesome video!

[@mariagdaws6083]

Thanks for the tips Chuck If I can’t get any 2mi Scoria, can I use 2ml river stones instead when I’m making succulent soil mix? I usually use 2ml river stones as a top dressing for my succulent pots I use perlite but it’s getting expensive Cheers Maria

[@Cerriscapades]

Yeah you can do that. I used to just use river pebbles before I found a source for all my scoria. They'll do fine.

[@sallofatani]

Just came for borrito as my first succulent, but you said it was the hardest one 😱

[@CactusCaffeine]

I think I can beat you in the Pick up Sticks game. Magaling ako dun. But I’m clumsy with my succulents. 😁 Thanks, Chuck!

[@Cerriscapades]

Haha!

[@Daniquas.Art.]

I cant keep these sedum burritos alive ever how often do you water them in summer?

[@Cerriscapades]

Honestly this basket was neglected lol, it is just the rain... but as a result its growth is stunted. It should be a lot longer than this based on its age. You can also clearly see the difference in the plumpness of the leaves on the older parts of the stem vs the new one. The new growth has been so lush because ee had lots of rain lately. So I guess this means I should be giving it more water than usual during summer. Just have to make sure it is not burning under the heatwaves though.

[@Daniquas.Art.]

Thank you, maybe i need to find a good spot for my burrito.

[@fludrbywest3886]

Daniqua Griswold I water mine when touching the soil and it s dry. In the summer is the same, depending how hot and breezy it is, try soaking your hanging basket in a 5gallon bucket and the let it drain good before you hang again if you are hanging where you don’t want water to drip 😁

[@christinebeames2311]

I love your videos

[@fludrbywest3886]

Would not be Easter with damp soil😊 great help thanks for sharing ✨❣️

[@mencycita]

You carefully removed the burritos off the pot 👏🏻but I kinda cringed when you started piling them up✌🏼

[@alphonzolovierventura9798]

Can you please mention me in a video of yours I really like you're videos and I'm an echeveria lover too

[@Cerriscapades]

You got it fam. Hope I remember to do it for the next one!

[@mjfsfinlac282]

hi i like to wacth your vlog

[@jtidema]

All of those little leaves would probably propagate into a whole new pot...

[@EatologyRGNhe]

Ilove it..butmine here color doesnt change hehe

[@normahhamzah5282]

Why not loosen the soil before pulling..much easier to put stick n loose the soil

[@360revolucion8]

How about the title "How to handle delicate succulents"?

[@Cerriscapades]

Good idea, I think the word "delicate" works better in this context.

[@jyotikagonsalves6505]

Birds have been feeding on my burrito 🤷‍♀️

[@101candlelight6]

I'd rather use a tool

[@charlenecruz9816]

Those are called "Donkey Tails" not sedum burrito.

[@Cerriscapades]

Nope, the cultivar called Donkey's Tail has pointier tips. The Burrito is called as such because it is smaller and rounder. Also the word Burrito is the diminutive form of the word "Burro", which is another word of Donkey. So this smaller, rounder, pointier plant is thus named Burrito.

[@charlenecruz9816]

@@Cerriscapades Nope, burro's tail has pointy tips. Google it. Images.

[@Cerriscapades]

www.crassulaceae.ch/de/artikel?akID=182&aaID=2&aiID=M&aID=2011 People (including myself) use Burro's Tail and Donkey's Tail interchangeably, I'll give you that, because Burro = Donkey. Yes that's the one with the pointy tips. The "Burrito" name is used to distinguish between the regular pointier one vs the smaller rounder one. As the word Burrito itself suggests, it is smaller than Burro. So what I'm showing here is the Burrito, which is a sport of the Burro. Here's a photo showing the two side by side: facebook.com/cerriscapades/photos/a.1264098440377179/2736697126450629

[@Cerriscapades]

People are just calling it Donkey Tails because they do not know better. But the smaller one is actually named Burrito (the -ito suffix means "smaller"). worldofsucculents.com/sedum-burrito-burros-tail-baby-donkey-tail/

[@marialakshmi2330]

It helps if the plant is slightly underwatered. Burrito and jellybeans more likely to drop leaves if they have been watered in the past week or so 💧💧💧🫘🫏🫏🫏
