Question
My donkey tail is hanging on the North side of house in front of window.  I use fluorescent         light four hours a day.  It is a new plant and I hate to loose it.  Do you have any sugestions.

Answer
Hello Dorothy,

I'm sorry but I have no idea what a donkey tail plant is - is it the same as pony tail?  Could you send me the botanical name or a photo so I can identify it?  Many thanks.

Diana

Hello again Dorothy,

No sooner had I answered your question than I remembered what type of plant you have but I was at work and very busy so couldn't do any more personal work.

The botanical name is Sedum morganianum and we call it a Burro's Tail over here in Europe!

Like most succulents your plant will enjoy a bright position with some sunshine and do best when facing south.  During the Spring and Summer it needs thorough watering - leave watering until the compost begins to dry out and of course in the .winter it will need far less, probably one watering every 1 - 2 months.  There is no requirement to mist the plant.  It will also enjoy being outside in the summer to get some fresh air.  

I hope the above is of use to you and your plant!

Diana
