Cactus/sedum burrito

Question
I recently purchased a sedum burrito, is what the label says. It is growing like crazy. I noticed that some of the
little grape like things have fallen off. What does it mean. It is in its original pot, with the original dirt. Could I have given it too much water? I usually let it get quite dry before watering it again. How much water/sun does it require? What do I do with the little things that fell off? I would appreciate any info that you might have.

Thanks, Vee

Answer
Vee,

Generally, when they drop there "leaves", it is from under watering. Let the soil dry, but then soak it good, then let it dry again before watering. Your plant also likes strong filtered light, no direct sun.

I also found a website that seemed to have some additional info for you: http://www.cactuscollection.com/faqs/index.html

Hope this helps.
