Cornell Farm Sedum morganianum Burros Tail

This succulent requires full sun to maintain its compact shape and vibrant color. Place it in a south-facing window or an area that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight daily to prevent the stems from becoming leggy.

The Burro's Tail is drought-tolerant and prefers to dry out completely between waterings. Check the soil moisture with your finger or a moisture meter; if the soil is still damp, wait a few more days before watering.

Yes, the fleshy, teardrop-shaped leaves are quite delicate and can detach easily if the plant is bumped or moved frequently. It is best to place your plant in a permanent location where it won't be disturbed.

While the plant grows at a moderate pace, it typically takes about six years to reach its mature length of up to four feet. Patience is key, as the cascading effect becomes more dramatic as the stems lengthen over time.

Like most succulents, it needs well-draining soil to prevent root rot. Use a cactus or succulent potting mix and ensure your pot has adequate drainage holes to keep the roots healthy.
