Description

Donkey Tail is a beloved trailing succulent, famous for its long, hanging stems densely packed with plump, tear-drop shaped, blue-green leaves. It’s a spectacular sight in hanging baskets where its tails can cascade several feet. It requires careful handling (leaves detach easily) and perfect drainage, but rewards with a uniquely beautiful, sculptural form that is a staple of succulent collections.

• Grows long, trailing stems covered in overlapping, fleshy, blue-green leaves resembling a braided tail.

• Leaves are very fragile and fall off easily with handling (propagation is easy from these leaves).

• Prefers bright, indirect light; strong direct sun can scorch it.

• Extremely drought tolerant and susceptible to overwatering.

• The ultimate hanging basket succulent for a porch or bright indoor space.

• Toxic to pets if ingested.
