Introducing the donkey tail plant, known as Sedum morganianum, which is a popular hanging plant that belongs to the Sedum genus. Native to Mexico, the donkey tail plant has several other common names such as Donkey's Tail, Lamb's Tail, and Horses' Tail. 

The donkey tail succulent doesn't just settle for being ordinary; it goes all out. Its bluish-green foliage, which occasionally even has a whitish bloom.  


Initially, its stems grow upright like an ambitious little sprout. These magnificent donkey tail plants soon trail down and become pendulous wonders.

The growth pattern of donkey tail plant stems is indeed unique, as they grow downwards, cascading gracefully from hanging baskets.

It is easy to care for and can thrive in a variety of environments, making it a great choice for both beginner and experienced plant owners.

The donkey tail plants can grow up to about 4 feet long and 2 feet wide, with their trailing stems filled with chubby, succulent leaves. Its leaves store water, making it a drought-tolerant plant. Plus, it's known for its distinctive trailing growth habit, making it a popular choice for hanging baskets or as a trailing plant in arrangements.

Important Fact to Understand
The donkey tail plant is mistakenly used interchangeably with Burro's tail plants (as in Spanish, Burro's is known as a donkey) by other websites, but they are in fact completely different plant. These two succulent plants have distinctively shaped plump leaves; the burro's tail plant's leaves are more teardrop-shaped, whereas the donkey's tail plant's leaves are banana-shaped.

The donkey tail plant bloom in summer with vibrant star-shaped pinkish-red blooms. The flowers attract butterflies and hummingbirds with their sweet nectar, adding a pop of color to your garden during the warmer months.

The propagation of the donkey tail plant is typically done through stem cuttings, which should be allowed to be callous before being placed in well-draining soil. It is important to provide bright indirect light and avoid overwatering to promote healthy growth.

From its light requirements to water needs, this plant is relatively easy to care for and is a friendly plant both for humans and pets.

Watering Needs 

Like other succulents, they thrive on a little neglect; even if you forget to water them once or twice, they'll still survive just fine. It's important to let the soil dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can cause the roots to rot, which can lead to the death of your Sedum morganianum. The best way to water the donkey's tail succulent is to give it a good soaking and then let the soil dry out completely before watering again. 

In the spring and summer, during the growing season, you can water your Donkey Tail plant more frequently, about once every 2-3 weeks, or when the top inch of soil feels dry. Be sure to water thoroughly but allow excess water to drain out of the pot to prevent water accumulation at the roots.

In the fall and winter, when the plant is in its dormant period, you'll want to reduce watering to about once a month or even less, as the plant requires less water during these cooler months.

Remember, ensure that the pot has good drainage to prevent water from sitting in the bottom of the pot. 

Light Requirements 

When growing indoors, the donkey tail succulent prefers a window that receives indirect bright light. It can also tolerate some direct sunlight, but it's important to avoid exposing the donkey's tail to too much direct sunlight, as this can cause the leaves to burn.

For outdoor cultivation, they prefer full sunlight to partial shade. Remember, it is important to provide at least 4-6 hours of bright light for the plump and healthy stem in the hanging basket. 

If you notice that the blue-green leaves are turning yellow or brown, it may be a sign that this Sedum donkey tail is getting too much direct sunlight. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The donkey's tail thrives in well-drained soil that's rich in nutrients. A good soil mix for this succulent is a combination of cactus soil, perlite, and sand. It's important to make sure that the soil is well-draining, as the donkey tail plant is susceptible to root rot.  We believe the best option is to use our specialty succulent potting mix that contains over 5 natural substrates and organic mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your succulent to thrive. 

When it comes to fertilizing, the donkey tail succulent doesn't need a lot of fertilizer. You can fertilize the plant once a year in the spring with a balanced fertilizer NPK (5-10-5). It's important to avoid over-fertilizing the succulents as it can cause even death of the plant. 

Hardiness Zone & More 

When growing indoors, the donkey tail succulent plants thrive in average room temperatures ranging from 65-75°F. As for humidity, these plants are adaptable to typical indoor humidity levels, so no special adjustments are usually needed. Just ensure good air circulation around the plant to prevent any issues related to stagnant air.

For outdoor cultivation, they are best suited for USDA hardiness zones 10-11, where temperatures remain above 30°F. They enjoy full sun to partial shade outdoors and can handle higher temperatures if provided with adequate water and some protection from intense afternoon sun.

If you live in a colder climate, you should put them in a pot, and they can then be kept outdoors during the summer and brought in as the temperature drops. While household humidity is generally good enough, these donkey tail plants will do even better with some extra moisture in the air. Set up a humidifier nearby or grow them in naturally humid rooms like your bathroom or kitchen. 

Final Thoughts

Overall, the donkey's tail sedum makes a vibrant trailing houseplant that is a low-maintenance succulent plant that doesn't require a lot of attention. Be sure to add Sedum morganianum - a donkey tail plant to your home or garden and enjoy its low-maintenance care while admiring its impressive display year after year.

Perfect Study Chair for Kids – Comfortable, Soft and My Child Loves It!
Color: Pink, Color: Pink
I bought this pink chair for my child to use while studying, and it has been a great purchase. The chair is very comfortable and soft, with a thick cushion and supportive backrest, so my child can sit for a long time while doing homework without feeling tired. The ergonomic design is really nice as well. The backrest supports the back very well and helps keep a more natural sitting posture. The armrests are also at a comfortable height, which makes writing and drawing easier. Most importantly, my child absolutely loves this chair. She enjoys sitting here to study, read, and draw. Sometimes she spends quite a while drawing in the chair and seems very comfortable the whole time. The pink color is beautiful and looks very cute in the room. The quality feels good and the wheels roll smoothly, making it easy to move around. Overall, this is a great chair for kids to study, read, or do art, and seeing how much my child enjoys using it makes me very happy with this purchase. Highly recommended!

Not the best chair... Had to buy several accessories
Color: Earth-black, Color: Earth-black
I have so much to say that I had to compose in word… The chair was very easy to assemble and came packed with pride and care in a very nice box, but I find the design to be remarkably lacking, and the below stated demonstrates this QED. The suggestion to use the packing box as an assembly table is a nice idea, but the box is too wide by several inches to use in order to attach both arms. The sales ad stated 23.4” is the total width of the cushion, not the average sittable area. The lumbar support is laughable, and really ought to have been made inflatable if they were going to go with this route... I had to go back to my special support cushion. So do not depend on it supporting you if you have a bad back like I do. Secondly… My African-American friends have often said to me something like "Get your narrow little butt over here" because I have almost "No Butt!" - HAH!.. This chair cushion is NOT MADE FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME with no butt... you will need a support cushion; either a memory foam or inflatable. The seat is poorly cushioned with a thin layer set of polyester fiber file on top of rather hard, and possibly memory foam, and is as hard as a stone. (I have decided to get an inflatable cushion for now and my go memory foam, and currently sit on top of my soft memory foam backrest... I have had to spend almost half of the price of the chair to handle upgrades.) To top it all off it also leans forward a bit instead of being properly flat or at least adjustable, and there is no tilt for that or elsewise another kind of adjustment. I feel like I am constantly sliding off of the chair and will have to add shims to the mechanism in order to correct the forward leaning tilt that is bothering me even now as I sit upon my currently only office chair. I cannot sit in this thing without both the foot rest, and my foot stool, and I am still rolling down Lombard Street (Looks that one up folks. It’s in San Francisco). (My last one was so worn out that I had no choice.) The lean (not genuine tilt) of the back is marginally passable, but a mere 150 degrees is not built for relaxing. I am also having to get an even more deeply counter-sunk gas cylinder because this one is too freaking high. Don't listen to those who say the chair is also good for short people. I am 5' 6.5" in height. This already makes it almost impossible to find any furniture to fit me because the majority of people in America seem to be geared for 6' heights. The arms are kind of nice, but the over-all vinyl covering is rather thin. It will not stand up to cats... There is also 35% less space from my last chair for my cat to sit with me without knocking the keyboard off of my lap. I will be purchasing some leather and making an overlay for the armrests as soon as possible. It is... nice to be able to raise and lower the armrests. The casters they give are rather - extremely cheap. I knew this already and had procured some proper roller blade style casters with brakes so they will actually last, and I could lock the movement of the chair, and so they also do not get balled up with fuzz like the ones they sent will. Furthermore... This chair might barely fit a plus sized person, but it is not suitable for large people even with the arms mounted at the widest. I can take my medium-sized hands held flat with pinkies on the arm rests and thumbs on my person and put them down beside my hips and snugly touch the inside of the arm rests and my personage, on either side. Please keep in mind that I am not a large person. I could not find a proper foot rest on any chair out there without adding substantially more to the cost, and also making the chair non-movable, so there went that --and I must make sure to have parts for these current "Walmart style" designs. While not a totally horrid chair, it leaves a lot to be desired and I'm stuck with it now. I give the chair a three-star rating, and hope I can stand to use it once I get the last of the accessories that now total almost half the price of the chair… Namaste.

Great Chair! Worth the Price!
Color: Sky Blue, Size: Pack of 1
LOVE my new desk chair! I got the Sky Blue which is a really pretty blue in person. I work from home in tech, and had been getting constant headaches no matter what position I was in. I finally decided to invest in a better desk chair, and I'm SO glad I did! It's much more supportive and comfortable. I really like that I can flip the arms up or down, and the height is easy to adjust. Also, because I can flip the arms up, I can keep the chair out of the way when I'm not working by putting it right up against the desk. Very much worth the price! Assembly was simply and quick. Not even 30 minutes. Also, when I had a question about the chair, their support team was quick to respond and very helpful. Highly recommend!

Great quality chair, regardless of price.
Color: Black+white, Size: Pack of 1, Color: Black+white, Size: Pack of 1
Great quality chair, regardless of the price, period. So well packaged that it took almost as long to unwrap as assemble. Assembly was easy (loved the Allen wrench with sturdy handle). I am 6'2" and the fit and height adjustments work well for my height. Comfort is personal, so I like the semi-firmness of the seat. While the chair is constructed of heavy gauge plastic the base is solid metal with enamel finish: I love the look. The arm rests line up perfectly to my computer keyboard. I expect many, many years of service.

Great Value for a Comfortable Home Office Chair
Color: Black, Size: Pack of 1, Color: Black, Size: Pack of 1
I’ve been using this chair for a couple of days now, and honestly, it’s been a solid upgrade from my old one. I work from home most days, so comfort matters a lot—and this chair delivers better than I expected for the price. The first thing I noticed was the lumbar support. It’s actually adjustable and makes a noticeable difference, especially if you tend to sit for long stretches. My lower back used to get sore after a few hours, but that hasn’t really been an issue since switching to this chair. The mesh back is also a nice touch—it keeps things breathable, which I didn’t think I’d care about until I had it. Assembly was pretty straightforward. Took me maybe 20–25 minutes without any frustration. Everything lined up well, and the instructions were clear enough. In terms of comfort, the seat is firm but not hard. It doesn’t feel like one of those super plush chairs, but I actually prefer that because it feels more supportive over time. The reclining feature is smooth, and I like that you can lean back a bit when you need a break. Overall, I’d say this is a great value for a home office setup. If you want something ergonomic and comfortable without spending a fortune, this chair is definitely worth considering.
