A bite-size comparison of two popular trailing succulents and how to keep them tidy.
Burro’s Tail (Sedum morganianum)
Long, pendant stems with densely packed, teardrop leaves that fall easily when touched.
String of Pearls (Curio rowleyanus)
Round, beadlike leaves with a tiny “window” line; stems are thinner and more delicate.
Placement & care
Bright-indirect light, minimal handling, and excellent drainage prevent leaf drop and rot.
