Burrow's Tail

Plant Care Tips & Tricks

Burrow's Tail

Burro's tail is an eye-catching, flowering succulent. Its lush, textured exterior grows into long sweeping stems with fleshy leaves. It's a hardy plant in terms of care requirements but is somewhat physically fragile. Leaves are known to drop when being handled; however, try putting those fallen leaves back in the pot. They might grow into new stems.

Lighting: Burro's Tail likes lots of sun but not intense heat. Place it in an area where it can receive direct morning sun or indirect afternoon sun.

Irrigation: Allow soil to fully dry between thorough irrigations. Water until liquid runs from drainage holes at the bottom of the pot and discard excess water. Do not allow your plant to sit in standing water as it will lead to root rot.

Humidity: This plant does not require added humidity. It prefers a dry environment.

Fertilizer: Once a month in summer is good. Once every two months during Fall, Winter, and Spring. Any house plant food will work well.
