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.
