Sedum Morganianum

Unlike many other trailing succulents, Donkey's Tail tends to have stems of densely packed, plump leaves that can trail anywhere from one to four feet long. The segments are a bit fragile if handled roughly, but broken pieces can be rooted back in the same pot or in a new one. Constant moisture will kill this plant, so water deeply and let the top inch or two of soil to dry before watering again. Native to Mexico, this plant handles lower humidity and even missed waterings, and does not appreciate being misted. Donkey's Tail can be the trailer in a mixed succulent planter, and can handle filtered outdoor sun in the summer, but may be best as a year-round indoor resident.
