Place the potted sedum burrito on its side on top of the newspapers and slide it from the pot. If it is stuck in the pot and the pot is plastic, press on the sides of the pot to loosen the connection. If the pot is ceramic or terracotta, rap sharply on the sides and bottom until the roots loosen their hold.
