  •   Sedum Burrito, also called Donkey'S Tail, is a trailing succulent in the Sedum genus native to the rocky, semi-arid regions of Mexico. The plant has been grown in homes and gardens for decades as a timeless collector favorite.

      The plant produces plump, teardrop-shaped leaves in soft forest green, densely packed along long, rope-like trailing stems that cascade over pot edges. Unlike the classic burro's tail succulent, Sedum Burrito features rounder, chunkier leaves that give each stem a full appearance. Use a hanging basket, high shelf, or statement floor placement so the stems can drape over the edges.

      Small, star-shaped pink to red blooms appear at the tips of mature stems in summer when the plant receives a nighttime temperature drop. Flowers are a bonus on well-established specimens.

      You can leave it up to ten days without water while traveling. The plant is non-toxic and safe for cats and dogs. Move it outside during summer to encourage best growth, keeping it sheltered from heavy rain and harsh direct afternoon sun. Bring it back indoors before temperatures drop below freezing.

  •   Sedum Donkey's Tail Succulent - Sedum Burrito grows well in bright indirect light and scorches easily in direct south-facing windows.

      Water it every 10-14 days in summer, reducing to once a month in winter.

      Sedum Burrito does best in a fast-draining cactus and perlite mix to prevent root rot.

      It prefers temperatures between 65-75°F and dislikes cold drafts from air conditioning or heating vents.

      Sedum Burrito is a slow grower that benefits from diluted balanced fertilizer applied once in spring and once in summer.

      It is hardy in USDA Zones 9-11, tolerating minimum temperatures around 25°F before frost damage occurs. It grows outdoors year-round in California, Arizona, Texas, Florida, Hawaii, Nevada, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, and coastal Oregon. Milder pockets of New Mexico, Arkansas, North Carolina, and Virginia along the coast can also support it through winter with minimal protection.
  • Q: Is Sedum Donkey's Tail Succulent - Sedum Burrito pet friendly?
    A: It is non-toxic and safe for cats and dogs.

    Q: Why are the leaves on my plant turning yellow?
    A: Yellow leaves indicate overwatering or soggy soil. Sedum Donkey's Tail Succulent - Sedum Burrito needs the soil to dry completely between waterings and a pot with full drainage.

    Q: How do I propagate Sedum Burrito?
    A: Individual leaves or stem cuttings laid on dry succulent soil will root easily. Handle stems gently since leaves detach readily, but those dropped leaves can also be propagated.

    Q: Can I leave it outside during summer?
    A: Sedum Burrito grows outdoors in summer in bright indirect light, as long as you keep it sheltered from heavy rain and avoid harsh direct afternoon sun.

    Q: How fast does Donkey'S Tail grow?
    A: It is a slow grower, typically adding a few inches of stem length per year. Mature trailing stems elongate substantially over time.

    Q: What window placement works best indoors?
    A: Place it near an east or west-facing window where it receives bright light without direct afternoon sun exposure. South-facing windows often scorch the foliage.

    🌵 For Succulents
    When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
    Please remove your plants from their packaging right away and follow the care instructions included with your order. Succulents prefer to dry out between waterings, so only water when the soil is completely dry.
    Succulents are resilient plants and typically recover quickly once they settle into their new environment. Give them a few days to adjust before placing them in direct sunlight, and avoid fertilizing right away.
