Pointy Sedum Donkey Tail displays a light green color on layered leaves. The difference between this hybrid of donkey tail and the regular donkey tail is the shape of leaves. This hybrid has pointy leaves vs the traditional round leaves.
This succulent is a perfect 'spilling' succulent in arrangements, adding texture, color, and visual components.
This succulent is greenhouse grown, so they thrive in bright light locations with in-direct light. Donkey Tail does best when gently watered twice a week.
Donkey's tail (Sedum morganianum) is a popular succulent with rows of fleshy, tear-drop-shaped leaves that are blue-green. Native to Honduras and Mexico, mature specimens of the donkey tail plant grow slowly and steadily but can reach trailing lengths of up to 4 feet long in six years time (though the average length is closer to 24 inches). They are most commonly grown as potted plants, often suspended as hanging specimens. Indoors, the succulent can be planted and very easily propagated year-round by stem cuttings or laying a dropped leaf on top of soil, while outdoors it does best planted in early spring.
Red or pink flowers can emerge in late summer, though the plant rarely blooms indoors. The donkey tail plant is safe and considered not toxic to people or pets
All things considered, donkey's tail succulents grow easily if you follow a few simple rules. Like most succulents, they do well if left slightly neglected—if you forget to water them once or twice, they'll still be just fine. In fact, overwatering is the worst thing you can do to a donkey's tail. Where you really have to treat your donkey's tail with care is while handling it. Its eye-catching pointed leaves covering draping stems are actually extremely fragile and can break off with even the slightest touch. For that reason, it's best to choose a sunny spot to place or hang your donkey's tail succulent and then, quite literally, forget about it.
As with many succulents, donkey's tail thrives best with lots of warm sunlight, though it will tolerate a partial shade location. If you're choosing to house your plant indoors, opt for a sunny windowsill that boasts several hours of daily light. If you're growing your succulent outdoors, place it in a pot or spot in your garden that gets plenty of morning sunlight but is partially shaded during the more aggressive afternoon hours to avoid scorching its leaves.
The soil of your succulent should dry out completely in-between waterings. Check the soil with your finger to make sure the soil is dry at least an inch down before watering the plant. Less is more.
