This Mexican native is a member of the cactus family. Mix potting soil with sand and provide a good drainage system. Allow drying out between waterings. Fertilize once during the March thru October growing season. Keep out of outside direct sunlight, although outside is helpful in eliminating leaf drop.

Donkey tail plants require full sun and is only hardy to about 38 degrees fahrenheit (it likes warmth). Donkey tail is prone to root rot so be careful not to overwater (once a week during growing season). Let the top soil dry between each watering.
