Sedum morganianum (Donkey Tail)


Sedum morganianum (Donkey Tail) (Sedum morganianium)

For Hywel to see.

I've had this a long time, over some 10 years. It has rosy-red flowers every summer, they are not particularly special tho.
It needs good strong indirect light in spring - summer & water every 10 days or so (this is the time to feed it). Then over winter move it to cooler spot & only water occasionally to allow it to rest.

The name suits it perfectly Gf it looks healthy I'm afraid i'm not that great with indoor plants they tend to get neglected :o)

Amy, a friend gave me a piece of hers some 15yrs ago. It was trailing down the side of a tall bookcase but her house had big picture windows unlike my little cottage. I keep it in the conservatory. The good thing about succulents & cacti is that they thrive on neglect - I've only killed one due to mistakenly caring by overwatering.

Hywel, I'm glad you like it.

We have one that must be over ten years old, it has now been split to a more manageable plant...

I've repotted it since & now have it in a hanging type pot.
Don't they make a mess when handling tho!
