• Native Habitat: Southern Mexico and Honduras.
• Appearance: Long, hanging stems covered in overlapping, fleshy leaves that store water. Stems can grow up to 2 to 4 feet (or even 6 feet) long.
• Fragility: The stems and leaves are brittle and break off very easily when touched or bumped.
• Pet Safety: It is generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs.
• Light: Prefers bright, filtered light or bright indirect light. Some direct morning sun is fine, but harsh afternoon sun can burn the leaves.
• Watering: Needs the “soak and dry” method. Let the soil dry out 100% before watering it deeply. Water much less in the winter. Overwatering leads to root rot.
• Soil: Requires a fast-draining potting mix, specifically made for cacti and succulents.
• Propagation: Easily grown from fallen leaves or stem cuttings. Let the cut ends dry and callous for a few days before placing them on soil.

The burro’s tail plant (Sedum morganianum), also known as donkey’s tail, is a popular trailing succulent native to Mexico and Honduras. It features long, pendulous stems densely covered in plump, fleshy, bluish-green or lime-green leaves that give it a braided or rope-like appearance. Burro’s tail plant as a low-maintenance houseplant, it thrives in bright, indirect light and well-draining Cactus Soil Mix. Because it stores water in its leaves, it is drought-tolerant and requires infrequent watering, letting the soil dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot. Its cascading habit makes it an ideal choice for hanging baskets, though its delicate leaves can easily detach if bumped or handled roughly.
