Look at this little succulent baby! This is a burro's tale succulent (related to the donkey tale). It was given to us by my husband's mother about 1.5 years ago when it was teeny (like in the photo), and since then, it has grown so large that its vines now hang over the side of the pot and down off a shelf. Succulents are a great way to bring some life to your house, since they require very little water, so if you forget about them for a while or go out of town for a week, they will do just fine!
We have a lot of different succulents, and most of them are in cheap pots we found at Home Depot or got for free at our local nursery. I've been thinking it's time to get some inexpensive but beautiful pots for our succulents, so I searched Etsy. Here are three great and inexpensive options to brighten up your rooms.
This planter comes with an air plant: Geometric Air Plant Cube Planter, $22
To take care of your burro's tale:
1. It likes to be in partial or full sun
2. Don't overwater! A little water every 4-7 days is fine.
3. It's a very delicate plant, so try not to touch it with your fingers.
4. If little leaves fall off, you can replant them. They are pretty hearty and can grow into new
plants to put elsewhere in your home or to give away as gifts. :)
5. We used regular potting soil, and our burro's tail is doing great.
If you'd like to buy your own burro's tail, donkey tail, or other type of succulent, you should try your local nursery or order one online. Here are two Etsy shops that sell beautiful succulents: SucculentBabies and SucculentOasis. You can even get a burro's tail on Amazon!
Here is another succulent I have at home. Can't wait to find a cute pot for it.
