Burro's Tail Sedum (Sedum morganianum)

Burro's Tail Sedum is a trailing succulent that turns a simple pot into a full, cascading display with very little effort. Its bead-like leaves stack tightly along draping stems, creating a lush texture that instantly makes shelves and hanging planters look styled. Once established, it prefers a dry rhythm between waterings, which makes it a forgiving choice for busy routines. Give it bright light and fast drainage, and it will reward you with longer, fuller trails over time.

Distinctive Features

This plant is known for long, pendant stems densely covered in plump, blue-green leaves that overlap like a braid. The stems can grow quite long with age, forming a dramatic curtain effect in hanging baskets, but they are also fragile and can drop leaves if handled roughly. In good conditions it may produce small, star-shaped flowers in pink to red tones, most often in late spring through summer, though flowering indoors can be sporadic. Overall, it is valued for its clean, sculptural texture and its ability to fill space with a soft, cascading form.

Growing Conditions

  • Sun: Bright light is best, including gentle direct sun after gradual acclimation.
  • Soil: Use a fast-draining cactus or succulent mix in a pot with drainage.
  • Water: Water thoroughly, then let the soil dry out well before watering again, watering less in winter.
  • USDA Zones: 10 to 11 outdoors, and grown as a houseplant anywhere.
  • Mature Size: Trailing stems commonly reach about 2 to 4 feet long in containers over time.
  • Habit: Trailing, cascading succulent with draping stems.

Ideal Uses

  • Hanging Baskets: Let stems spill freely for a full cascade that looks finished from day one.
  • Shelves and Plant Stands: Place it high so the trailing texture adds movement and softens hard lines.
  • Bright Windows: Grow near strong light to encourage tighter leaf spacing and sturdier stems.
  • Patio Containers: Use outdoors in warm months to boost growth, then bring indoors before cold weather.
  • Focal Point: Feature a single pot in a simple hanging planter where the trailing ropes become the main visual statement.
  • Succulent Pairings: Combine with upright succulents in separate pots to balance vertical structure with trailing texture.

Low Maintenance Care

  • Handling: Move gently and avoid brushing the stems, since leaves can drop easily.
  • Light Adjustment: Increase light gradually if growth stretches, and avoid sudden intense sun that can scorch leaves.
  • Drainage: Keep roots out of soggy soil, since prolonged wetness can cause rot.
  • Pruning: Trim long stems to shape the plant, and use cuttings to start new pots.
  • Propagation: Root fallen leaves or stem cuttings after the ends dry and callus, then plant in a gritty mix.

Why Choose Burro's Tail Sedum?

  • Cascading Texture: Dense, braided-looking stems create instant visual impact in small spaces.
  • Low Water Needs: A dry-between-waterings routine keeps care simple and consistent.
  • Space Efficient: Trails downward to add volume and style without taking up tabletop space.
  • Easy to Multiply: Cuttings and dropped leaves can root, making it simple to build a fuller display.
  • Collector Appeal: The unique leaf patterning stands out from typical rosette succulents.
  • Indoor Friendly: Performs well in containers where you can control drainage and light.

If you want a trailing succulent that looks polished and stays manageable with a simple routine, Burro's Tail Sedum is an excellent choice. Give it bright light, fast drainage, and time to dry between waterings, and it will develop into a long, textured cascade that elevates any space.

Comprehensive and helpful, but is it correct?
Format: Kindle
The authors put a lot of work into creating this 70,000-word book, based upon their personal experiences and their work with others to find and alleviate the energetic causes of diseases and maladies. The book covers a comprehensive list of medical conditions, explains their energetic cause, and offers energetic solutions. Certainly, there are many traumas, particularly childhood traumas, that can affect people mentally and emotionally and scar them for life, and affect many aspects of their personality, habits, and proneness to mental and emotional challenges, as well as contribute to worsening some physical problems. The book covers those well and gives some particularly good examples of how a parent's reaction to a child's mistakes, understanding and supportive, or condemning or belittling, can affect their subsequent behavior, personality, and health for years, maybe even for life. Where I found the book lacking, is it seems to assume that basically every medical condition or disease comes from past trauma and gives no space for the physical causes of many health challenges, or how many of those issues can be greatly alleviated or eliminated with diet and lifestyle changes. An example of the part right, part missing, explanation found for many issues listed in the book is for Adult Acne. According to the authors, the energetic cause is "something from your teenage years that hasn't yet healed." According to Harvard Health, "The four factors that directly contribute to acne (in teenagers or adults) are: excess oil production, pores becoming clogged by "sticky" skin cells, bacteria, and inflammation." This is further broken down by Harvard into actions and body functions that directly contribute to those four points, including, • "hormones, stress, and the menstrual cycle in women, all of which can influence oil production • hair products, skin care products, and makeup, which can clog pores • diet, which can influence inflammation throughout the body." Of those listed items only "stress" can be an energetic contributing cause. Some of the other items are mostly out of an individual's control, such as hormones and menstrual cycles. Other items are controllable, such as makeup, hair care, and diet choices. This same pattern of overlooking all other causes except "energetic" and offering no other solutions except "energetic", and applying that remedy to some conditions that have purely or mostly physical causes, and/or can be remedied by changes in diet or lifestyle choices, is why I only gave the book 3 stars. However, this is not a negative review. Many of the suggestions by the authors for finding the source of emotional and mental traumas, and changing the negative energy still reverberating from past experiences to help alleviate present-day maladies are insightful, and many people will find to be beneficial.

Easy to read, practical advice in every important area
Format: Paperback
I bought this book for my daughter but since she was away this weekend, I read through it myself. I ended up writing three pages of bullets/notes! Some things I already knew and was going to suggest to her so it was nice to have validation but I learned a few new things myself. I would tell her to recommend this to all her friends in school but I think I'll wait until after she finds a job because the tips are so clearly spelled out that I think this book will be an advantage for her. I also appreciated the fact that she recommends the best way to use your parents as a resource. My favorite advice beyond the very important (lock down your social media sites now) and the very practical (add a signature line in your email) was Follow Every Rainbow. Now here's hoping with a graduation one semester early, four internships and this great book that she gets that very important first job on her way to enjoying her career as much as her father and I have enjoyed ours.

Great and easy to follow tips
Format: Paperback
Lindsey Pollak breaks it down for you! Her tips are mostly great, found some that I wasn't even aware of. I also enjoyed the fact that she starts by telling us her own story and how her career built up over time by taking action. The author also provides great insights from many other industry leaders. I would definitely recommend this book to us young and restless grads!

Great book!
Format: Paperback
This book is a great complement to my book "The Secret To Getting A Job After College". While I cover the details about resumes and cover letters, this book does a very effective job addressing issues related to determining what you should think about doing after college and the author also has a valuable section on how to prepare your elevator speech. I recommend it for everyone who is in college or has graduated in the past few years and I now consider it required reading for many of my students.
