Sedum Morganianum Donkey Tail

How to care for sedum morganianum donkey tail

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light, with some direct morning sun if possible. Too little light can cause leaves to drop and stems to stretch.
• Water: Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water sparingly, especially in cooler months, to prevent root rot.
• Soil: Requires extremely well-draining soil, such as a succulent or cactus mix with added perlite or grit. Good drainage is paramount.
• Temperature: Thrives in average room temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Protect from frost and extreme cold.
• Humidity: Tolerates average to low household humidity levels. Does not require high humidity.
• Fertilizer: Feed once or twice during the growing season (spring/summer) with a diluted succulent fertilizer. Do not fertilize in fall or winter.
• Propagation: Easily propagated from leaf cuttings or stem cuttings. Simply lay fallen leaves on soil or plant stem sections, and new plants will sprout.
