BURROWS TAIL
Sedum burrito, commonly known as Burro's Tail or Donkey's Tail, is a charming succulent known for its trailing stems covered in plump, blue-green leaves. It's a popular choice for hanging baskets and containers, adding a touch of whimsy to any indoor space. Here's how to care for your Sedum burrito:
Sunlight
- Bright, Indirect Light: Burro's Tail thrives in bright, indirect light. Place it near a sunny window where it can receive plenty of light without being exposed to direct midday sun, which can scorch the leaves.
- Tolerance: It can tolerate some direct sunlight, especially in the morning or late afternoon, but prolonged exposure to intense sunlight should be avoided.
Watering
- Infrequent Watering: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is the most common cause of problems with this plant.
- Deep Watering: When watering, do so thoroughly until water drains out of the bottom of the pot. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
Humidity
- Low Humidity: This succulent thrives in low humidity and dry conditions typical of most indoor environments. Avoid placing it in overly humid areas.
Temperature
- Room Temperature: Sedum burrito prefers temperatures between 18°C to 24°C. It can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures but should be protected from frost.
- Avoid Extremes: Keep the plant away from cold drafts and hot, direct heat sources.
