Introducing the donkey tail plant, known as Sedum morganianum, which is a popular hanging plant that belongs to the Sedum genus. Native to Mexico, the donkey tail plant has several other common names such as Donkey's Tail, Lamb's Tail, and Horses' Tail. 

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.

The growth pattern of donkey tail plant stems is indeed unique, as they grow downwards, cascading gracefully from hanging baskets.

It is easy to care for and can thrive in a variety of environments, making it a great choice for both beginner and experienced plant owners.

The donkey tail plants can grow up to about 4 feet long and 2 feet wide, with their trailing stems filled with chubby, succulent leaves. Its leaves store water, making it a drought-tolerant plant. Plus, it's known for its distinctive trailing growth habit, making it a popular choice for hanging baskets or as a trailing plant in arrangements.

Important Fact to Understand
The donkey tail plant is mistakenly used interchangeably with Burro's tail plants (as in Spanish, Burro's is known as a donkey) by other websites, but they are in fact completely different plant. 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 plant bloom in summer with vibrant star-shaped pinkish-red blooms. The flowers attract butterflies and hummingbirds with their sweet nectar, adding a pop of color to your garden during the warmer months.

The propagation of the donkey tail plant is typically done through stem cuttings, which should be allowed to be callous before being placed in well-draining soil. It is important to provide bright indirect light and avoid overwatering to promote healthy growth.

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.

Watering Needs 

Like other succulents, they thrive on a little neglect; even if you forget to water them once or twice, they'll still survive just fine. 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. 

In the spring and summer, during the growing season, you can water your Donkey Tail plant more frequently, about once every 2-3 weeks, or when the top inch of soil feels dry. Be sure to water thoroughly but allow excess water to drain out of the pot to prevent water accumulation at the roots.

In the fall and winter, when the plant is in its dormant period, you'll want to reduce watering to about once a month or even less, as the plant requires less water during these cooler months.

Remember, ensure that the pot has good drainage to prevent water from sitting in the bottom of the pot. 

Light Requirements 

When growing indoors, the donkey tail succulent prefers a window that receives indirect bright light. 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.

For outdoor cultivation, they prefer full sunlight to partial shade. Remember, it is important to provide at least 4-6 hours of bright light for the plump and healthy stem in the hanging basket. 

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. 

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 in the spring 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 

When growing indoors, the donkey tail succulent plants thrive in average room temperatures ranging from 65-75°F. As for humidity, these plants are adaptable to typical indoor humidity levels, so no special adjustments are usually needed. Just ensure good air circulation around the plant to prevent any issues related to stagnant air.

For outdoor cultivation, they are best suited for USDA hardiness zones 10-11, where temperatures remain above 30°F. They enjoy full sun to partial shade outdoors and can handle higher temperatures if provided with adequate water and some protection from intense afternoon sun.

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. 

Final Thoughts

Overall, 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. 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.

Best flip-flops I've met
Size: 11, Color: Black/Geyser
Right away I was impressed by the thichness and cushioning of these flip-flops. They are not a flimsy piece of rubber under my foot. The sole is more like that of an athletic shoe with layers and an impressive tread. I've always found that my heel sits too much on the back edge of flip-flops, or even over it. So I ordered these just a half size large and they're perfect. The foot cradling allows my heel to sit down inside the flip-flop comfortably and securely. They're not about to fall off. The toe piece (I don't know what it's actually called) is not just the typical round rubber post. On these flip-flops it's nicely shaped and fits comfortably between my toes. The arch support is nice too. They're not just flat. In spite of being more substantial than the cheapies we all know, these remain lightweight. They clearly look better too

Well made
Size: 11, Color: Black/Geyser
The first thing that stands out about the Columbia PFG Castback Flip sandals is the solid build and clean fishing-inspired design. The Black/Geyser color combination looks sharp and matches the product photos well. The straps feel durable and comfortable against the foot, and the footbed has a slightly cushioned feel that makes them comfortable right out of the box. Overall construction feels sturdy, which is what you’d expect from something designed for outdoor or water use. In everyday wear, the sandals are comfortable and easy to walk in. The footbed provides decent grip and support, and the textured surface helps keep your foot from sliding around when they get wet. They work well for casual use, whether it’s around the house, at the beach, or after a day on the water. The lightweight feel also makes them easy to pack for trips or outdoor activities. After wearing them for a while, they hold up well and remain comfortable for daily use. The materials seem durable and the straps stay secure without stretching out. They’re simple, reliable sandals that work well for warm weather, boating, or casual summer wear. Overall, they’re a solid choice for anyone looking for comfortable flip flops with a slightly more rugged outdoor style.

Extremely comfortable with slight roomy fit
Size: 11, Color: Black/Geyser, Size: 11, Color: Black/Geyser
These are easily the most comfortable flip flops I have ever owned. From the moment I put them on, there was no break in period at all. They felt soft, supportive, and ready for all day wear right out of the box. The cushioning is excellent without feeling too soft, and they have a nice stable feel when walking. They are lightweight and clearly made with quality materials, making them great for everyday use or around water. One thing to note is that they run a little on the larger side, so if you are between sizes, you may want to consider sizing down for a better fit. Overall, these are a great combination of comfort, durability, and function. I would absolutely recommend them, especially if comfort is your top priority. (Excuse the teeth marks- my dog unfortunately got ahold of them before I snapped the photo- they are PERFECT out of the box)

Comfortable Flip-Flops with a Clean, Sporty Look
Size: 13, Color: Black/Geyser
I picked up the Columbia Men’s PFG Castback Flip in the black and white colorway, and the first thing I noticed was how comfortable they felt right out of the box. How They’ve Been Used: Even though it’s still winter, I’ve been wearing them around the house occasionally to get a feel for the fit and comfort. I plan to use them more regularly outdoors once the weather warms up. What Worked Well: Immediate Comfort: The footbed feels cushioned and supportive without needing a break-in period. Secure Fit: The straps sit comfortably without rubbing or feeling stiff. Lightweight Design: Easy to slip on and off for quick wear. Clean Style: The black and white combination gives them a sharp, versatile look. Positive Feedback: My wife has already commented on how good they look. Things to Keep in Mind: Seasonal Use: Best suited for warmer weather and casual settings. Sizing: Checking the size guide helps ensure the right fit. Bottom Line: Based on my experience so far, these flip-flops offer a great balance of comfort and style. They’re comfortable enough for everyday wear and look sharp enough for casual outings. I’m looking forward to putting them to full use once spring arrives.

Columbia always makes great stuff
Size: 14, Color: Espresso II/Black
Even with my flat feet these offer a lot of padding which makes these extremely comfortable. They increase my height about an inch haha. These are great for walking around the beach or just going for walks. The tread on the bottom of these make walking up hills where the surfaces are not completely even extremely easy and very grippy. Time will tell how durable these are, but so far they're holding up very well.
