Burro's Tail Sedum (Sedum morganianum)

Burro's Tail Sedum is a trailing succulent that turns a simple pot into a full, cascading display with very little effort. Its bead-like leaves stack tightly along draping stems, creating a lush texture that instantly makes shelves and hanging planters look styled. Once established, it prefers a dry rhythm between waterings, which makes it a forgiving choice for busy routines. Give it bright light and fast drainage, and it will reward you with longer, fuller trails over time.

Distinctive Features

This plant is known for long, pendant stems densely covered in plump, blue-green leaves that overlap like a braid. The stems can grow quite long with age, forming a dramatic curtain effect in hanging baskets, but they are also fragile and can drop leaves if handled roughly. In good conditions it may produce small, star-shaped flowers in pink to red tones, most often in late spring through summer, though flowering indoors can be sporadic. Overall, it is valued for its clean, sculptural texture and its ability to fill space with a soft, cascading form.

Growing Conditions

  • Sun: Bright light is best, including gentle direct sun after gradual acclimation.
  • Soil: Use a fast-draining cactus or succulent mix in a pot with drainage.
  • Water: Water thoroughly, then let the soil dry out well before watering again, watering less in winter.
  • USDA Zones: 10 to 11 outdoors, and grown as a houseplant anywhere.
  • Mature Size: Trailing stems commonly reach about 2 to 4 feet long in containers over time.
  • Habit: Trailing, cascading succulent with draping stems.

Ideal Uses

  • Hanging Baskets: Let stems spill freely for a full cascade that looks finished from day one.
  • Shelves and Plant Stands: Place it high so the trailing texture adds movement and softens hard lines.
  • Bright Windows: Grow near strong light to encourage tighter leaf spacing and sturdier stems.
  • Patio Containers: Use outdoors in warm months to boost growth, then bring indoors before cold weather.
  • Focal Point: Feature a single pot in a simple hanging planter where the trailing ropes become the main visual statement.
  • Succulent Pairings: Combine with upright succulents in separate pots to balance vertical structure with trailing texture.

Low Maintenance Care

  • Handling: Move gently and avoid brushing the stems, since leaves can drop easily.
  • Light Adjustment: Increase light gradually if growth stretches, and avoid sudden intense sun that can scorch leaves.
  • Drainage: Keep roots out of soggy soil, since prolonged wetness can cause rot.
  • Pruning: Trim long stems to shape the plant, and use cuttings to start new pots.
  • Propagation: Root fallen leaves or stem cuttings after the ends dry and callus, then plant in a gritty mix.

Why Choose Burro's Tail Sedum?

  • Cascading Texture: Dense, braided-looking stems create instant visual impact in small spaces.
  • Low Water Needs: A dry-between-waterings routine keeps care simple and consistent.
  • Space Efficient: Trails downward to add volume and style without taking up tabletop space.
  • Easy to Multiply: Cuttings and dropped leaves can root, making it simple to build a fuller display.
  • Collector Appeal: The unique leaf patterning stands out from typical rosette succulents.
  • Indoor Friendly: Performs well in containers where you can control drainage and light.

If you want a trailing succulent that looks polished and stays manageable with a simple routine, Burro's Tail Sedum is an excellent choice. Give it bright light, fast drainage, and time to dry between waterings, and it will develop into a long, textured cascade that elevates any space.

Good for beginners
Format: Paperback
Having worked in the field for over 10 years, I can definitely say the book covers a wide range of topics, but doesn’t go to in depth with each one. It gives a basic understanding of supply chain and operations for an individual who is unfamiliar with concepts or processes.

Decent if not a little shallow overview but full of typos
Format: Hardcover
Purchased thos book to consider passing to an employee eyeing a promotion. The information is ok to get the broad level concepts across for someone who has no thought about these concepts at all. However. Man. This book is riddled with more typos than my 2am half drunk reddit posts. Words that are missing spaces between them, phrases that change tense or intent of where the sentence was going to go ... It's pretty drole reading in general and the distractions do not help!

One of the best Project Management Books I've Read!
Format: Kindle
This was a really great read for many reasons. The focus on ensuring your project has a strategic purpose is so important these days, where Program and Project Managers need to make sure the projects they are leading are providing value to the organization. The framework is one that can be applied immediately with the explanation and tools provided in the book and on the author's website. The real-life stories and projects were not only fun to read, but very helpful in understanding how to apply the framework. The examples were very thorough and helpful. There is great information on what is needed from a PM to be successful including managing the team and stakeholders. On top of all that, when I got to Chapter 10 it was like a bonus chapter for me. Chapter 10's focus is on "managing your inner game", and has great information on ensuring you have the right mindset to be successful. Project Managers have the opportunity (and challenge) to work with many different personalities and in many challenging environments. This chapter provides really great information on how to navigate those waters and be successful. Chapter 10 could seriously be a book in itself. Chapter 12 was yet another bonus chapter, especially for lifelong learners. It's all about the idea of taking everything we've learned and applying it to our life. As the author states, our lives are essentially a project. Why not apply the same principles to ensure we are achieving our purpose and providing value, with yet again, really great examples to get us started. Anyone who leads or is involved in any kind of projects or who wants to work better in a team environment would benefit from reading this book.
