Sedum Morganianum, burro’s-tail, donkey tail, whatever you’d like to call it, it’s one of the cutest succulents and one of my favorite succulents.
I got two baby donkey tail plants this winter and it hasn’t shown much growth until a few weeks ago when the spring weather started to rear it’s head.
I decided it was a good time to try to propagate and see if I could grow a few more so I could eventually pot up the plant and fill it out for a fuller, bushier plant.
I haven’t had much luck propagating succulents in the past, but surprisingly this time around was a success!
I started by gently removing some of the lower leaves and Putting them in a 2in grower pot with damp soil.
I covered the top of the pot with saran plastic wrap to keep the moisture in and encourage root growth, then stuck the pot under a grow light. Every couple of days I would check on them and if the soil seemed to be getting too dry I’d spritz the top with some water.
Within about a week, roots started to grow and a few weeks after that I started to see some baby leaves sprout.
Eventually I moved the leaves to a larger pot and removed the plastic wrap, but I’m keeping them under a grow light until there’s a little more growth. I’ve been continuing to spritz them every few days to keep the top soil moist.
Once they’ve grown a bit more I’ll pot them with the mother plants and hopefully they’ll continue to take off from there. I’ll post an update in a few weeks to show how they’ve been doing!
