*Succulent
Burro’s tail cactus (Sedum morganianum) is not technically a cactus but a succulent. Although all cacti are succulents, not all succulents are cactus. Both do have similar requirements such as gritty soil, good drainage, sunshine, and protection from extremely cold temperatures. Growing burro’s tail provides a fascinating texture as a graceful houseplant or lush green exterior plant in many landscape situations.
Light: Needs bright, direct light to grow properly. Make sure you turn your plant frequently to keep it from getting sunburned. Each leaf is covered with a chalky substance called epicuticular wax that helps protect it from the hot sunlight and keep its moisture in. Without enough sunlight, the plant will start to lose its leaves and turn more yellow than green. You might find that it becomes mushy, especially if light deprivation is paired with overwatering.
Water: If you’re giving your plant the proper amount of light, you shouldn’t have to water more than once every two weeks. Let the soil dry out all the way through before watering it thoroughly. The only exception to this rule would be if you have a very young plant, one that’s in a two-inch pot, or a cutting. Then you’ll want to water with a lesser quantity, but more often. Never overwater this plant. If you overwater it, there’s a pretty big chance that it will rot, especially if it’s a young plant. This is where that bit about picking the correct container comes in. Drainage is imperative.
Humidity: These are actually desert plants that are found where the air is hot and dry.
Temperature: In the areas that have freezing temperatures in winter require this plant to be indoors. During the winters, make sure to keep your plant where the temperature is between 50-60 degrees Fahrenheit. However, room temperature is fine for these succulents in summers.
Fertilizer: It's not essential for your succulent, yet you may feed a diluted solution of fertilizer two times during its growing season. But do not feed your succulent fertilizer more than once a month and avoid fertilizing it during winters.
Toxicity: Non- toxic
