Get ready to smarten up your plant collection with a unique and eye-catching addition - the donkey tail plant is also known as Sedum morganianum, a vibrant member of the Sedum genus. It is also known by several other common names such as Donkey's Tail, Lamb's Tail, and Horses' Tail. Hailing all the way from Mexico, the donkey tail plant is often used interchangeably with Burro's tail plants (as in Spanish, Burro's is known as a donkey), but it is a separate variety. These two succulent plants have distinctively shaped plump leaves; the burro's tail plant's leaves are more teardrop-shaped, whereas the donkey's tail plant's leaves are banana-shaped. The donkey tail succulent doesn't just settle for being ordinary; it goes all out. Its bluish-green foliage, which occasionally even has a whitish bloom. Initially, its stems grow upright like an ambitious little sprout, these magnificent donkey tail plants soon trail down and become pendulous wonders that can reach up to four feet in length in about six years as houseplants in hanging baskets. The growth pattern of donkey tail plant stems is indeed unique, as they grow downwards, cascading gracefully. However, it is important to note that the width of the plant, which can reach up to 1.5 feet, is determined by the lateral spread of its foliage rather than the direction of stem growth. This characteristic can sometimes lead to confusion among observers who expect a different growth pattern based on traditional plant structures. When grown indoors, the donkey tail plant rarely produces vibrant star-shaped pinkish-red blooms. From its light requirements to water needs, this plant is relatively easy to care for and is a friendly plant both for humans and pets. If you are interested in propagating donkey's tail succulents, there are several methods you can try; it may be either stem cuttings or leaf cuttings. Watering Needs The donkey tail plant doesn't need a lot of water. It's important to let the soil dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can cause the roots to rot, which can lead to the death of your Sedum morganianum. The best way to water the donkey's tail succulent is to give it a good soaking and then let the soil dry out completely before watering again. It's important to make sure that the pot has good drainage to prevent water from sitting in the bottom of the pot. In general, the donkey's tail sedum makes a vibrant trailing houseplant that is a low-maintenance succulent plant that doesn't require a lot of attention. Light Requirements The donkey tail succulent prefers full sunlight to partial sun. It can also tolerate some direct sunlight, but it's important to avoid exposing the donkey's tail to too much direct sunlight, as this can cause the leaves to burn. It's a good idea to place the succulent near a window that receives indirect bright light. If you notice that the blue-green leaves are turning yellow or brown, it may be a sign that this Sedum donkey tail is getting too much direct sunlight. Remember, it is important to provide at least 4-6 hours of bright light for the plump and healthy stem in the hanging basket. Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs The donkey's tail thrives in well-drained soil that's rich in nutrients. A good soil mix for this succulent is a combination of cactus soil, perlite, and sand. It's important to make sure that the soil is well-draining, as the donkey tail plant is susceptible to root rot. We believe the best option is to use our specialty succulent potting mix that contains over 5 natural substrates and organic mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your succulent to thrive. When it comes to fertilizing, the donkey tail succulent doesn't need a lot of fertilizer. You can fertilize the plant once a year during the growing season with a balanced fertilizer NPK (5-10-5). It's important to avoid over-fertilizing the succulents as it can cause even death of the plant. Hardiness Zone & More The donkey's tail Sedum morganianum thrives best at 60 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit. If you plant this donkey tail outdoors, it grows best in USDA zones 10 and 11. If you live in a colder climate, you should put them in a pot, and they can then be kept outdoors during the summer and brought in as the temperature drops. While household humidity is generally good enough, these donkey tail plants will do even better with some extra moisture in the air. Set up a humidifier nearby or grow them in naturally humid rooms like your bathroom or kitchen. Be sure to add Sedum morganianum - a donkey tail plant to your home or garden and enjoy its low-maintenance care while admiring its impressive display year after year.
