How to Propagate Sedeveria 'Blue Burrito'

It's very easy to propagate Sedeveria 'Blue Burrito' from leaves or cuttings. It will not come true to seed.

Leaves

You can easily propagate the leaves of Sedeveria 'Blue Burrito' by choosing a firm, healthy leaf. Remove it from the main plant by gently twisting the leaf from the stem. Be sure not to leave any of the leaf on the stem (if you take a bit of the stem with the leaf, that’s fine, too!).

Allow the leaf to callous over for several days, and then lay on well-draining soil. Water whenever the soil has dried completely. After roots and a rosette have appeared, and the mother leaf has withered away, plant the new growth.

Cuttings

To take a cutting of a Sedeveria 'Blue Burrito', use a sharp, sterile knife or pair of scissors. Cut the stem away from the Sedum cluster, and allow the cut to callous over for a few days before planting in well-draining soil.
