Burros tail (Sedum morganianum), also known as donkey tail, is a succulent plant native to Mexico. The plant gets its common name from its long, trailing stems that resemble a donkey's tail. Burro's tail is a popular houseplant and is often grown in hanging baskets or cascading over the edges of containers.
The plant is drought tolerant and does not need much water to survive. In fact, too much water can be harmful to the plant and cause the leaves to rot. When watering burro's tail, allow the soil to dry out completely between watering. The plant prefers bright light but can tolerate some shade. During the summer months, burros tail will produce small pink or white flowers.
