Clear filtersBurro’s Tail – A Soft Cascade of Succulent Charm
Native to southern Mexico and Honduras, Burro’s Tail is part of the sedum family and thrives in bright, dry environments. Its fleshy, teardrop-shaped leaves grow densely along long stems, creating a rope-like appearance that softens any space it graces.
While it’s mostly admired for its foliage, mature plants can surprise you with delicate, star-shaped pink or red flowers in late summer.
Handle gently—its leaves are beautiful but fragile, and easily knocked off (don’t worry, they root easily for propagation!).
Plant Care Tips
Light:
Bright, indirect light or filtered sun is ideal. Outdoors, give it morning sun and afternoon shade.
Watering:
Use the “soak and dry” method. Allow the soil to fully dry before watering. Avoid getting water on the leaves.
Soil:
Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix. Add extra perlite or coarse sand for drainage.
Temperature:
Prefers 18–26°C. Protect from frost—best kept indoors or in protected outdoor spaces.
Humidity:
Low humidity is ideal. High humidity can lead to root rot.
Fertilizer:
Feed once a month in spring/summer with diluted succulent fertilizer.
