Soil is probably water retaining; and having lots of it because of large pot it will take even longer to dry up. You also planted them too low inside of pot IMO.

Over all, these could take bit more watering than most succulents, but mix should drain well - and yours probably doesn't. You could improve by mixing in lots of sifted perlite (or pumice). In some ways, they are better to be potted in bigger pot as they grow quite fast. But your pot seems to be also quite deep, and does it have drainage holes?

Thank you. There is perlite in the soil it's currently potted in.

Yeah I chose this pot because I knew they tend to grow fast but I agree it might be too deep for them.

Could I ask what you mean by planting them too low?

Also yes the pot does have drainage holes

Sorry, I meant that you should have added more soil so the plants are sitting higher.

I see some perlite, but it may not be enough. Ppl using mix of C&S soil and perlite mix them 50/50, or even more perlite. It is recommended to sift perlite to get rid of the dust and smallest particles (it could be rinsed, that helps too). I prefer even more inorganic mix, using grit, perlite and smaller amount of turface.

If my plants, I would use shallower container. These look quite good in hanging baskets, since they grow long, hanging branches.

I to have had crappy luck with this plant. They seem extra sensitive to over watering, or that's my lost soul guess. I really have no idea what I'm doing wrong. A neighbor had a nice pot growing in bright shade and recommended I not give them too much sun, which seems to have helped a little. I'm using a gritty mix that seems to support other succies really well, and grow them in small pots. I'd welcome some advice too.

I keep my plant outside, in full sun during Spring to Fall. I don't know if it is too hot for it in your location (supposedly it's not very heat tolerant) - so perhaps light/bright shade is better? I also keep them in gritty mix (no soil, peat or bark).

Burritos are sensitive to over potting. I would probably plant it in something smaller if it were mine.

I, too, have put a few cutting in larger pots with no problems. And like Rina, I use a full on gritty mix. I keep my plants in full sun, but they will get an hour or two of shade through the day.

During my wet summers (and before I had used a completely inorganic mix) I move this plant into bright shade on my south facing lanai. By protecting it from excess rain, I deprived it of light. See how far apart the leaves are near the top and middle of the stems? It was etiolated.

And the compact growth at the end of the stems is after getting back into the full sun.

Thanks so much for the advice! As soon as I can I'm going to repot my burritos in a pot that's a few inches shallower and a little less wide.

I'll also increase the amount of perlite in the mix for them so it's kind of grittier.

Also I've been planning to hang them, I just need to set up an area for them to hang from.

Add lot of perlite, just a handful will not really do much.

If moving from low light into better, make sure you do it gradually - as any plants, sudden move into stronger light could cause burn.

This is a 50/50 mix. I really like it to have more than that, more like 60/40.
