Sedum morganianum, commonly known as Burro's Tail, is a trailing succulent with fleshy, blue-green leaves forming distinctive pendulous stems.
At-a-glance light, water, soil, and growing conditions from plant data
Bright Indirect Light
75% intensity
Prefers bright, indirect sunlight. Can tolerate some direct sun, but avoid intense afternoon sun which can scorch leaves. Insufficient light leads to etiolation.
Drought Tolerant
25% intensity
Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter.
Well-draining
50% intensity
Average Room Temperature
50% intensity
Prefers temperatures between 18-24°C during the day. Can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures in winter (around 10-15°C) for dormancy. Protect from frost.
Low Feeder
25% intensity
Fertilize sparingly during the growing season (spring/summer) with a diluted succulent fertilizer. Do not fertilize in fall or winter.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is the most common cause of problems. In winter, reduce watering significantly. Ensure pots have drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
Water thoroughly when you do water, letting excess drain away.
Prune to maintain shape and size, or to remove leggy or damaged stems. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears. Cuttings can be used for propagation. Pruning encourages bushier growth.
It's best done in spring or early summer.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings. Allow cuttings to callus over for a few days before planting in well-draining soil. Water sparingly until roots form. Can also be propagated by leaf cuttings, though this is slower.
Roots readily in spring or summer.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows its pot, preferably in spring. Use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one.
Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot. Handle gently due to fragile stems.
