Plant Care Notes

Donkey’s Tail thrives in bright, indirect sunlight and can handle a little more light if gradually introduced. Keep it near a sunny windowsill to bring out its best color and keep it’s compact growth. Like most succulents, it prefers a warm spot, so keep it away from freezing temperatures.

When it comes to watering, think “less is more.” Let the soil dry out completely before giving it a deep soak. Overwatering is its worst enemy, so err on the side of caution, and reduce watering in the winter. Finding a well-draining soil with some added perlite or pumice so that the ratio is about 70% organic to 30% inorganic.

Propagating Donkey’s Tail is fun and rewarding! Snip off a few stems, let them dry for a day or two, then plant them straight down into soil. And don’t worry if the leaves fall off while being handled, you can simply take those and lay them on top of soil. They’ll root in no time!
