    Donkey Tail Sedum (Sedum morganianum), also known as Burro’s Tail, is a beautiful trailing succulent known for its thick, fleshy, teardrop-shaped leaves that grow densely along trailing stems. It's a popular choice for hanging baskets and indoor gardens due to its cascading growth habit.

     

    Care Guide for Donkey Tail Sedum

     

    Light

     

    Thrives in bright, indirect light to full sun (at least 4–6 hours of light daily).

     

    Can tolerate some direct sunlight, but too much intense sun may cause leaf scorch.

     

    Indoors, place near a south- or west-facing window for optimal growth.

     

     

    Watering

     

    Drought-tolerant—water only when the soil is completely dry.

     

    Reduce watering in winter when growth slows.

     

    Avoid overwatering, as it is prone to root rot.

     

     

    Soil

     

    Requires well-draining, sandy or succulent/cactus mix.

     

    You can amend regular potting soil with perlite, sand, or pumice to improve drainage.

     

     

    Temperature & Humidity

     

    Prefers temperatures between 18–27°C (65–80°F).

     

    Not frost-hardy; keep above 10°C (50°F).

     

    Low humidity is best—too much moisture in the air can cause rot.

     

     

    Fertilizing

     

    Feed lightly with a diluted succulent fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring & summer).

     

    No need to fertilize in fall and winter.

     

     

    Pruning & Maintenance

     

    Very fragile! The leaves easily fall off when touched, so handle with care.

     

    Prune dead or leggy stems to encourage fuller growth.

     

     

    Propagation

     

    Easily propagated from leaf cuttings or stem cuttings.

     

    Let cuttings dry for a day or two before planting in dry succulent soil.

     

    Roots develop in a few weeks with minimal watering.

     

     

    Common Issues

     

    Leaves falling off easily → Normal, but excessive loss may indicate overwatering or handling.

     

    Wrinkled leaves → Needs water.

     

    Yellowing or mushy stems → Overwatering or poor drainage.

     

     

    Pet Safety

     

    Mildly toxic to pets—while not highly toxic, ingestion may cause stomach upset.
