Introducing the burro's tail succulent, known as Sedum morganianum Burrito (or Sedum burrito), which is a perfect choice among gardeners. 

Native to Southern Mexico, this Sedum burrito plant is like a superstar hanging from your ceiling, with its mesmerizing trailing stems. While it may resemble a donkey tail plant  at first glance, this gorgeous burrito sedum has shorter stems and smaller, more rounded leaves than the donkey tail succulent. 


This burro's tail succulent gets its scientific name, Sedum 'Burrito', from its long, oval- or tear-drop-shaped leaves that grow down the stem, and look like the tail of a burro.

When mature, these large burro's tail plants trailing stems reach 3–4 feet long.

The stems of the burro tail plant are covered in small, fleshy, blue-green leaves that grow in a spiral pattern along the length of the stem. The leaves are about 1 inch long and are arranged in pairs along the stem.

The flowers of Burro's tail plant bloom in spring with little star-shaped pink or red burro’s tail flowers that will burst into bloom with bright yellow stamens.

To propagate Sedum burrito, it is best to take stem cuttings or leaf cuttings during the spring or summer months when the plant is actively growing. Place the cuttings in a well-draining soil mix and keep them in a bright, indirect light location to encourage root development. However, the burro's tail care is less fragile overall, making it a great choice if you're new to growing succulents in hanging baskets. 

Plus, it is safe for humans but can be mildly toxic for pets if consumed. So, keep it away from pets and children. 

Watering Needs 

One of the coolest features of the burro's tail plant is the way it stores excess water in its leaves. That means you don't have to water this succulent plant as frequently as you might think; just make sure the topsoil is completely dry before giving it another drink to help its roots develop properly. This helps avoid overwatering and keeps your plant healthy and happy! 

During the spring and summer, this drought-tolerant Sedum burrito should be watered about once a week. During the winter dormant period, the sedum plant can be watered less frequently, about once every two weeks. It's important to make sure the soil is well-draining, as the burro's tail succulent is susceptible to root rot if it sits in water for too long, which affects the root growth. 

Remember, keep the soil moist but not soggy by misting it frequently whenever you notice the surface of the soil drying out.

Light Requirement 

To grow your burro's tail indoors, a bright windowsill or a location near a sunny window is a great place for the burro's tail succulent. It should be placed about 12 inches away from the grow light and should receive about 12–16 hours of light per day. 

If the burro tail doesn't receive enough bright light, it can become leggy, and the leaves may fall off.  The Burro's tail Sedum burrito can also be grown under artificial light, such as a grow light. This is a great option for people who live in areas with insufficient light or who want to grow succulents indoors.

For outdoor cultivation, your burro's tail prefers full sun to partial sun. The sedum plants should be placed in a sunny spot in a location where they can receive plenty of bright light but not too much direct sunlight. As direct sunlight can cause the leaves to burn, it's important to protect them from the hot afternoon sun.

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The Burro's tail prefers well-draining potting soil that is rich in organic matter. A succulent soil mix is a great choice for the burro's tail succulent, as it provides the drainage that succulents need. The soil should be allowed to dry out completely between waterings, as the plant is susceptible to root rot if it sits in water for too long. Ideally, you want to use our specialized succulent potting mix that contains 5 natural substrates and organic mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your burro tail succulent thrive. 

The sedum burrito doesn't require a lot of fertilizer, but it can benefit from a light application of a balanced, natural fertilizer with an equal mix of NPK (5-10-5) during the growing season in the spring. It's important to avoid over-fertilizing the burro tail, as this can cause the leaves to become soft and weak. Overall, the Burro's tail is a low-maintenance succulent that doesn't require a lot of fertilizer to thrive. 

Hardiness Zone & More 

When growing indoors, your Sedum burrito burro's tail prefers temperatures between 60 and 75°F. The baby burro's tail succulent doesn't require much humidity, but it can benefit from occasional misting during the dry winter months.

When growing outdoors, it is hardy in USDA zones 10–11, which means it grows and can tolerate temperatures as low as 30°F. The burro's tail succulent prefers warm temperatures and can be grown outdoors in full sun or partial shade. The burro's tail is a hardy plant that can tolerate a wide range of temperatures and humidity levels.

Final Thoughts

Overall, the burro's tail succulent (Sedum burrito), with its cascading stems and plump, trailing leaves, adds a distinct and eye-catching element to any space. This succulent is not only visually appealing but also easy to care for. Its ability to store water in its leaves allows it to withstand periods of drought, making it a low-maintenance choice for plant enthusiasts. Whether you choose to hang it on a macramé hanger or let it spill over the edges of a pot, the burro's tail succulent is sure to bring a touch of natural beauty and charm to your home or rock garden.

Every cologne certainly lasts differently….. just be aware
Scent: Original Citrus + Eucalyptus
Smells very nice like Harry’s Shower jell but doesn’t last very long at all on me , hopefully others so definitely not worth the money as far as I’m concerned

Very pretty edition of a beloved classic
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
This is a beautiful edition. Very well made and aesthetically pleasing. It's small enough and light and pliant enough for very comfortable reading. The text block is made with good quality paper that is thick enough and not glossy. The gilding is a nice touch. The only flaw was that the gilding on mine was scuffed and scratched off in some places. Overall, I'm super happy with it.

Too expensive for what you get
Format: Hardcover
This book is pretty. I'm a huge fan of Pride and Prejudice, and I have many copies of it. This one is smaller than I thought it would be for the price. I don't think I would have ordered it if I had held it. Just too expensive for its size. Also not as pretty as others I've gotten for less.

A Beautiful Copy of the Classic(... and a little oops!)
Format: Hardcover
This is a beautiful copy of Jane Austen's classic! The cover art, the design, and gold-edging for the pages all come together to make for a lovely book perfect for display. Better yet: it's perfect for reading too. A lot of fancy printings of classics result in something that's nice to look at but not especially comfortable to read, whether it's the stiffness of the spine, the material of the pages, etc. This one manages to take both aesthetics and practicality into account, so bravo! The one drawback, thus resulting in the star knocked off my rating, is that the title on the spine is upside down. It's a little thing, but I'll have to shelve it wrong side-up or it will drive me bonkers.

Dangerous, Adventure, and a Brave Young Hero
Format: Kindle
I Escaped The California Camp Fire, by Scott Peters, is an action-packed story based on a real-life disaster. It's a book that will have kids glued to its pages, turning them in anticipation of what will happen next. Like the wildly popular 'I Survived' series that fly from the elementary and middle school library shelves, this 'I Escaped' story is one young readers won't want to miss. 14-year-old Troy and his sister Emma are home alone for the night when the devastating fire begins. In the morning, it's still dark as night, the air filled with smoke. Troy, his sister, and the people and animals of the small California town of Paradise must flee quickly to survive. With short chapters that end on intriguing cliffhangers, kids will enjoy following Troy on his adventure to save himself, his sister and pets from the oncoming fire. Parents and caregivers will enjoy the fact that this is a story based on a true-life event, and at the end of the story there is information about it. There is also a common-core guide available for educators, making this a school friendly pick. Kids will love the book, though, for its danger, adventure - and brave young protagonist.
