Growing Burro's Tail / Donkey's Tail || Sedum Morganianum

- This video is covering an all time favorite houseplant, the Burro's tail or Donkey tail succulent. How to grow Burro's tail and overall just how to care for Burro's tail is fairly easy. These can be difficult houseplants as far as succulents go given their quick dramatic reaction to being over watered. I like the donkey tail succulents for their interesting foliage and heavy trailing habit both for inside and outside as well. Watering these plants is the key to successful growing.... just don't water these succulents often and keep them out of blazing direct sunlight, particularly in hot weather. If you grow these I suggest keeping a shallow dish with some soil handy to drop the fallen leaflets into because they are easy to propagate. I do talk about how to propagate from leaves and stem cuttings also.

so let me be sure I have this straight: If you touch it too much, it will rot. If you water it too much, it will rot. If it gets too cold or hot, it will rot. If you look at it cross-eyed, it will rot.
Sounds like a joy to grow!
🤣😂🤣😂
Lol... true, but... if ya just set them in the right spot and basically ignore it with just sparse watering they will be fine! ... as long as it is the right spot... oh and when u water it, it might die... see, easy! 🤣😂
It’s not nearly as bad as it is made to seem in this video. Also this poor plant has been grossly under watered. I would bet he is using a peat soil and that is hard for all succulents because the soil compacts and becomes terribly hydrophobic so the soil with water quickly draining out of the plant is because the pest won’t absorb any water because it’s compacted and hydrophobic this you’ll get donkeys tails looking like this in the video. Use a coco based mix. I live in PHX, a hot dry place but I use a fox farm coco based mix called salamander (or coco loco for more humid places). Ya it holds water but not saturated pools. Salamander is the best for summer because it evenly distributes moisture that’s not sopping wet and will not rot plants (similar to the moisture of a freshly opened bag of soil after giving the plants a chance to drink like they need to to survive). This burros tail needs a good soak and then left to dry and soaked again and dried before I personally would change the soil.
Edit: dehydrated burros tail hold their leafs better so transplanting while it’s dehydrated will save you from losing too many leafs but put the leafs you do lose in the pot that it will eventually fill in the gaps and holes.
@@erins.5420 uh, it was under watered purposefully because, you know, it gets cold in St. Louis. I'd bet it is either in the whatever mix it was purchased in or his standard succulent mix of miracle gro cactus mix, coarse sand, perlite, and paver base. So, yes, there probably is peat in it but so heavily amended that it doesn't compact. I couldn't grow it anyway. I live in south Florida. We have two seasons: hot, wet and humid or not as hot, humid and dry. Unless you're using almost pure sand here, most succulents roots rot off and even then a lot of them rot in the hot, wet summer.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
As soon as I met mine at the Nursery, I fell in love. I picked it up and it started to drop some leafs and I called it Big Lil Asshole. I asked the owners of the joint what the name of it was and they said Donkeys Tale. Yup. Asshole. The name stuck. I love my Big Lil Asshole. This was a great video! Thanks friend.
Lol! They are huge assholes in that regard!
This is my third time buying donkey’s tail, first 2pots desiccated, rotted. After watching this video I know it will thrive. Thanks for this video. Watching from London!
How did they go
This plant brings back so many great memories for me. My stepgrandma, Big Mama, got me into flowers when I was a little girl and, around the same time, my Granny gave me Hens and Chicks and a Burro's Tail. From then on, I was a gardener. I was absolutely fascinated by the Hens and Chicks when Granny told me the hens would have babies and they'd roll off of her and make new plants. And the Burro's Tail! I'd never seen anything like it! I thought it looked so cool, still do. I've been wanting to get another one for quite a while now but can't seem to find one. I may order one online. Jeff, thanks so, so, so much for bringing back such wonderful memories of 2 very special ladies in my life. It means so much to me. TFS :)
Aww! What a sweet story! I hope you find some to bring home and keep you reminded of your stepgrandma. 😊
just wanted to say think you for the peace of mind about how delicate they are... just got my first one yesterday for such a good price and i was getting so concerned about the amount of leaves falling off! i was using a small tweezers to pick out the dead leaves sitting in the pot (because im psycho and I like them to be clean and tidy) and i lost sooooo many little guys in the process! glad to know this is kinda normal!
Haha! I totally understand wanting them to be clean and tidy, I'm the same way. 🤣😂
Thank you, thank you for including info in pet-safety / toxicity in your videos!
Always important to mention the safety! I forget sometimes and beat myself up over it. I think every plant should be sold with safety labels.
Wow my burro’s tail must be very patient, I had been pretty rough with prior to watching this video. Thank you for giving such specific information! I had been majorly under watering and after I soaked mine he plumped right up and looks so happy.
Love succulents. Cool plants. Very interesting the description of the powder on the leaves. One of my favorite plants to look at with that soft green look.
I like them a lot! Lots of character!
Love all of your videos!!! Thank you for teaching me so much about plants.
Thank you so much for this video! I am very new I mean like 2 months new and trying to get mine to propagate and it's taking over 2 months to actually start. I'll be watching your videos to learn more.
Thankful! This is so thorough and helpful!! I'm waiting to get one and I'm making sure I'm well learned about taking care of it before I get it 😊👍
Love what your talking about. Very informed. I need this. Thank you.
Ty for really explaining how to care for this plant you did it wayyyyy better than other videos I've seen!!! I have subscribed!!
You make me think with your instruction I can grow ANYTHING!!! I got the heart fern and it is truly thriving. I guess I will be getting a burrows tail next, both are plants I should have done serious jail time for in the past. 🍀👨✈️🌱👩✈️🌻👮♂️🌵👮♀️
haha! Hey heart ferns are really hard for me! I have one that is doing well but it's only because i stuck it in a glass jar where it can't dry out on me. You'll do great with a burro's tail!

You give me confidence buy one again! RIP donkey tail numero uno
Lol... no shame in killing a plant as long as ya learn something from it. I've killed a few of these before and that's when I learned to just stop babying it and basically just leave it alone.
@@TropicalPlantParty finding this conversation 2 years later and so grateful for it! I'm waiting to see if mine makes it after overwatering (after trusting less-than-stellar advice from another video) but it is good to have a reminder that it's all a learning experience 💕Thank you both
Thanks for the info. I also enjoy the way you pronounce cactus 🤗😂
This is on my Buy List this weekend 🌱
I hope you find them! Fun and cute plants!
My favorite plant.
A really useful video! I'm a new plant hobbyist and this was my second plant and one I'm very excited about. I was a little worried, it has new growth and new sprouts but the main branch is tall ..like really tall. I keep expecting it to eventually flop over. But I guess its growing so I'll chill for now. Like you said gotta stop fussing with it I guess
Thank you. I just purchased one today.
you're welocme! I hope it grows well for you! They are awesome plants!
I’m in the Lou too! Just got a gorgeous one yesterday. Thanks for the video!
Well hello, neighbor! They are great plants aren't they?
Tropical Plant Party Yes definitely! I’ve been watching this one since last summer at the nursery. It’s huge!
I've got mine outside and it rains daily. It's happy.
So glad that you took the time to talk about the Burro's tail sedum. It is one of my favorites because it reminds me of a family member who grew it in abundance. Well done! How is the rest of the garden doing?
Hi Jeff! Another very fun and informative video. My daughter gave me a small burro's tail for my birthday last month and it is so cute! I really want to save it! A few of the leaves came of from moving it and I just stuck them back in the pot. TFS!
Happy belated bday, Sandy!
Thank you Jeff!
Just now watching this and now I feel the urge to run outside and pull mine in. My baby did so well out there in the summer, but now that its fall I needs a good relocating!
They are so fussy, probably a good idea to bring them in before any cool and wet arrives. I should actually move mine in pretty soon too.
I bought 3 in the past, they all die on me, either due to too dry or root rot. I just bought 3 again, hopefully it will survive this time. Once they are stable and grow more then I'll repot all of them together. :)
Thank you so much for this video, I have a Burro's tail, and I'm so afraid that I'm going to kill it, it is easy but hard to take care of, I noticed that if you touch it it drops those little pieces like crazy. So I just set it in a location that I felt it would be happy and just let it be, lol. Mine grows indoors cause it can't grow outside, that's because of where I live. So I'm just going to be nice to it and hope that it does okay, cause I just love this cute little plant.See you in your next video, bye for now.
Hi Holly! Sounds like a good plan! I agree, they are adorable! ...even though they can be little butt heads sometimes. lol. :)
@@TropicalPlantParty Lol!
Very nice plant. Best advice on succulents. Do nothing if growing outdoors. Just pay attention to cold temp tolerance. I use cedar and wine bottle cork that is sufficient for Encyclias to grow my succulents. Pop the succulent out of that tiny pot it comes in and repot it with orchid media without disturbing the root ball. Oncidium type light is perfect. Simple.
Today I plant I m happy to know from u.
Thank you so much!
Great info, I have one of these but it's looking a little sad. I will try some of the things you said and hopefully it will pick up. I will start by removing it from the blazing hot window in my husbands office, lol. The plants in there are the forgotten, oops. Great video as always, thank you :) xx
Thank you! They are really fun plants!
Wow , couldn’t have asked for a more informative video !!!!!! You nailed it!!!! Answered all my questions .. You mentioned the string of pearls , could u do a video on them ??? Also the Easter cactus , l don’t know when to fertilize . Mine is starting to get a few flower 🌸 buds , so can l fertilize now ? Or after it flowers . Thanks sooooo much for your videos .
Hi joyce! I'm pretty sure I've done videos on both of those plants before but I will look and if not then I will make them! If it is budding I would just leave it be and wait until it flowers to be safe. 😊
Hi! You’re funny. I like you! Thanks for the info. I bought one last week and I already have a string of pearls that I got to flower this year. It seems like they have the same type of care 😂 I’m going to make a double layer macrame planter with the SOP on top and the BT on bottom. I have a southern window with a soft white sheer that they will love. Have a great one! 🌱♥️
That sounds like it will be beautiful!
I’ve had one for a few years on my desk at work. I came back from vacation and one of my coworkers tried to ‘care for it’! 🙈 you can guess how that ended.
oh no! Well bless their heart for trying to be helpful I guess. 😁
Yours is looking good hope to get 1 someday
Thank you!
Great video
Thank you!
Awesome video ❤❤❤ I just got one and was terrified to water it even though it is extremely shrivelled. It is now bottom watering 😅
I have killed several😩no more for me- the world is full of fun plants...I’ll concentrate on those
Haha, I understand that mentality. I just don't touch it and keep an eye to see if it needs to be moved or watered.
Is each line a different plant in your planter?
First time watching one of your vids and I was disappointed that there wasn't a chalk board to go with the wand you waved around... or some magic dust flying out of it? Liked and subscribed.
I've had mine about a month. It's doing so well but I watered it this morning and now am super paranoid that I should have waited longer. It does have drainage and good air flow, so hopefully it will be fine. I love it so much, it's so stinkin' adorable!
It should be just fine! It's over watering that's a concern, once a month is no biggie! 😊
Ok. Guess I need to repot my Burro’s Tail. Current pot has no drainage holes 🕳. It’s been doing well though.
Not necessarily, if what you're doing is working then don't change a thing! But if you start to notice yellowing then maybe a repot might be a good idea. 😊
My mother in law cut off 3 tips from her plant and potted it in a small one with drainage holes and gave it to me, how long does it need to be in there until I can re pot it ?
Hellur. I bought a donkey tail plant today. I live in Arizona and I think you said I shouldn't leave it outside in direct sunlight right? Will a closed blinds work?
Ugh! Mine is in the process of dying. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.
The foliage is drying and crusting off like crazy.
It was doing so well and pushing out so much new growth.
Now it suddenly is being so dramatic about everything I do.
Bottom watering is the solution for this plant. No rotting risk at all ( if you let the soil dry out of course), at least in my experience.
Very good suggestion!
I never really thought to think that it was in the Sedum family ... I feel like everything is in the Sedum family ... as cool as it always think that plant is when I see everybody with it... it's fragility has always turned me away ... especially since I am a clumsy person and especially since I have a kitten who runs rabid in this household. That poor Plant would be stems and brown leaves. Yours is super gorgeous by the way how do you keep pumpkin away from it?
Oh it is safe and sound in the grow space, no cats allowed out here! Lol.
im not too sure how often i water mine bc i don’t keep track but the ends of the vines all of the peddle things and the vine are becoming brown and mushy at the bottom would that be caused by watering issues or sun
I have one, and it's flowering weird..it looks dead now at the trunk that's in the soil, but it's still growing at the end. Am I supposed to prune it once it flowers?
I just got a new Burro’s Tail a week ago and suspect that it might have spider mites because of the little cobweb action going on. I sprayed it with a 50/50 water & isopropyl alcohol solution. Do you think that will be sufficient to keep the pests away? How often should I spray it preventatively in the future? I’ll ask this question on your Instagram too since you made this video a couple of years ago. Thanks!
Very informative. Does it need to be pot bound? Thanks for sharing.
They do seem to grow better with a more confined root system.
I'm a new succulent mommy & I've been trying to figure out if I put the Burros Tail in the same soul as þ cactus??Bc my Cactus soil is very gritty & sandy!
What about air roots? Some of my trails have shriveled leaves and some look fat. I’m still learning how to care for this plant. It’s my most difficult plant. Help?!
I'm a new succulent mommy and I'm loving my arrangement and Mangave Toothfairy. I'd love to add a potted Burro's tail to the collection for the mere fact it was my high school mascot. 🤷🏾♀️ I'm just a tad bit concerned I'm starting too late for it to really thrive in a Seattle fall/winter.
Thanks for the info though!
hold up girl! Were Burros (the animal) your high school mascot or was your mascot a succulent? 😅Either way I love it!
@@diamondsngunns88 :: The Hillsboro Burros! Yep; we were whole donkeys but atleast our sports teams were solid!
I just got one not too long ago and plopped it into a head planter, lol.
I just got another one and was planning on doing the exact same! Perfect plant for a head planter!
@@TropicalPlantParty It's super cute! I'm really looking forward to watching it grow! 😄
Mine is rotting. Ugh decided to place it outside near indirect sunlight in hopes it will dry out .
A very cool plant! On a slightly different note, could you make a video, addressing what to do when succulents are overgrown? More than a year ago, my neighbors tossed out two succulents hanging baskets out, and my husband and I rescued them. The plants are tall and overgrown and keeps dropping older leaves, which our new English bulldog loves to eat -- well, he eats everything! :( -- and I'm torn between tossing out the plants or find a place in our yard to plant in ground... hope that wasn't too confusing... thanks!
Just had one given to me thanks for you help
My mom had about 5 pots of these she’s propagated... I helped myself to one. Do you think this would ok to put above my kitchen cabinet?
Is there any sunlight? If there is a few hours of bright light in the room it would be worth a try!
Tropical Plant Party there is!!! I figured since it didn’t to be watered as often, it would be good. Thanks!
Hi, i finally saw one of these st lowes few months ago and was excited to have one, put it hanging in a north facing window, and just watched it for few weeks for when to water it, well... it decided it didnt want to live with me or maybe the cats scared it, they do like to play with the lesves when they fall. Im in zone 9b a east valley of phoenix, which is satans sand box, which i guess dries them out a tad quicker. would you know a good reputable place to get a new one online and a string of pearls since i dont see them in the store anymore, i do seem to live at HD and lowes. Thank you much >; )
Etsy shop was where I bought mine and she was beautiful and shipped so nicely
Do they flower 🌼🌸 ???
My burritos dont droop they perky similar to yours. Why?
You have Sedum burrito R.Moran aka Sedum burrito Moran, Burro's tail
mine is dying...she is same like the string of pearl.. Super diva at least in my case. Maybe they just hate me.
You should give it more water. It looks very dehydrated!
Is it me or anyone else noticed that the leaves are badly shrinked ???
Where to buy donkeys tail please?!
Found mine at Lowe’s. But it said elephants ear. Not sure why
I came here because almost kill mine : )
مااسمها بالعربي
That plant looks horrible.
