Is burro’s tail a succulent or cactus?
Burro’s Tail is a succulent plant producing trailing stems up to 24 inches long with triangular-shaped fleshy blue-green leaves. It is an attractive plant in a hanging container that allows the trailing stems to be highlighted. This plant has few pest problems (mealybugs occasionally infest the stems), and root rot due to overwatering is the most common issue. Wilting or soft leaves may indicate too much soil moisture. Burro’s tail is easily grown as a houseplant.
