Hey succers !! please let me know what you would like to see next. i hope you enjoyed this video be sure to stay tuned for my next one !!! Kiahnah from chubby succulents
Impressive tough little plant, your tearing apart seemed almost brutal, but that tells me these are resilient plants, when so many handle so very gently. Great video.
Peter Dane what a lovely thing to inherit! And a beautiful way to honour the memory of your brother. Once established they sure do thrive on neglect and I tiny bit of water every now and then , I hope you enjoy your donkeys tail

Brown dots may be a sign of over watering. All those leaves store water so be sure not to over-water it. It will rot out if you do. My Burro's Tail is well established (around 5 years old) so I water it every 10-14 days but give it a thorough drink. Watering this way also helps some of the salts (from the water and fertilizers) to flush out of the pot.
Thank you so much for this video, I appreciate the very helpful tips on caring for these. I love succulents, unfortunately I have to keep the real ones outdoors because I have 1 kitty who likes to chew on indoor plants. Thank you again from California.
Question: I have a few of these and I LOVE them. However, they grow sooo long so quickly and I feel like I need to repot. The problem is that the vines are so long that just moving it makes me lose all the progress it has made. Have you tried any other methods of repotting?
Hey, this has been a huge help, thank you! the part about sunburn/root rot was particularly useful for me. I've got a donkey's tail which I keep outside on my sunny balcony and it's changed colour quite a lot, the leaves etc seem to have shrunk too. it would be great to see a succulent trouble-shooting vid :) thanks!
My single leaves shrivel and dry out. I’ve tried 2-3 methods. No clue why. My burro tail that was beautiful for 2years, suddenly dropped hundreds of leaves, this winter. I’ve not been able to propagate one leaf. I have a three stems that are finally growing roots. I use a shallow tray and mist with spray bottle. Tried cactus soil, spa gum and sand. I don’t know what the heck I’m doing wrong.
Georgia B it could even be a small ammount of Rott.. i would find the ones that are not taking very well and start again (chop the end off like I did and it may encourage it to shoot new roots) if you find any brown dots in the middle of the stem that is probably rotting so keep cutting until there is no more brown bits!and if it is cold where you live maybe bring them inside bear a window . :) good luck
I had an inside plant do the same thing over the winter. Seems I was over watering and also it was getting a cold draft from the door when we came in and out of the house.
Water every three days?? I guess so since yours are getting more light but I water mine like 1-2 times a month during the summer and once every other month in the winter. Mines about 3 years and some of the trails are around a 12-15 inches long.
Hi were about in OZ are you at. Im in Sydney and my plant is outdoor..Is it too much sun for it it gets sun till about 1pm then it gets shade. How much and how often should I water it please. Also why did you hide your coffee 😂😂😂😂. Now I feel like a coffee ☕☕☕.
I am also very new at this. I bought a small Donkey tail about 5 years ago and did nothing but water once a month. Now there are 5 tails that are 4 or 5 foot long. BUT the top is thin thin thin. So I was looking to cut it back and get it to fill in. (This is indoor only plant) After watching this I cut 2 of the tails off the main plant and started a new one. I planted fresh cut stems and sprinkled leaves over tip after. I used the cactus soil and did not water right after planting like I would if I transplanted. I am going to wait about 5 weeks to water. At that point should I put some miracle grow into the water or wait a few months to feed it?
Stefanie Fuller I would wait a little while to feed it ... just because you wouldn't want to burn the new roots that may be a bit sensitive !! Good luck
Great video, thank you. My donkey tail was getting too long and was in the original very small pot I bought it in, so it was looking a bit stressed. now I know how to re pot them I'll go ahead and wish me luck. Do you have ideas for string of peal plants too?
Gayl Deveney good luck ! You should be fine they are really resilient plants !! I was going to do a video on pearls soon ! They are a little bit more touchy 😁
I'm new to succulents and I recently bought a donkey's tail. Thanks to you i know why mine are "stretching"! Question: Exactly how do you water yours? I've read they don't like to be wet, but I notice your pot does not have a way to water from the bottom either.
Jason Jill Foreman I'm glad it helped !!so I just water mine from the top I use a sauce bottle from the dollar shop and pour it mainly on the soil, but I have not had any problems when wetting the entire plant :) Also I let my soil completely dry before watering again . If you keep it outside make sure it is in a well draining pot (my pot that I used has a drainage hole but the sticker covered it ) I hope I was able to help you :)))
Lori Badgero I would only recommend cleaning the root ball if you have a bug infestation. Apart from that I would just use fresh soil with fertiliser already added, so you don’t burn the root ball
Raknee Hitt donkeys tail takes a lot of trial and error once I see a new root I will closely monitor my watering, eg: lightly water every 2 days and watch leaves to make sure they do not go Too soft, as it will be a sign of overwatering
Thanks so much for the video Kiahnah. I heard you mention if the stems are brown they may have rot... well... I have a very huge old donkey tail that was my Aunties but have realised it changed to a very pale green now and looks like rot in the stem. I've cut all the stems to get it ready for repotting but now wondering if I have to sacrifice more stem right up to a part that seems healthy? Any advice would be super appreciated, I'd hate to lose it all together.
Hey I'm am so sorry I didn't realise I missed this comment ! If it's not to late keep chopping the stem , until when you look at the fleshy part of the stem , it should look all healthy no browning or jelly bits ! Just all fresh green colour ! I hope this helps
Suz hey ! I got my rings from pandora they are a very comfortable ring ! I’m sure if you were to ask around about the plant you should be able to find some
If you're still looking for a Donkeys Tail in the UK, check out a seller by the name of trailing_tranquility_ on Instagram, they are based in the UK. I got a DT from them there last week, gorgeous little plant and really reasonably priced! @Chubby Succulents, thanks so much for all the info! A lot of really helpful tips for a newb DT Mum like myself 💚
So helpful!! Will be repotting my damaged ones although i don't know if i can save some. Maybe you could a video on saving some poor succers that have copped some damage? 💚
Laqueisha Masima that is a great idea thankyou I'm sure I will have a few plants that don't take to the soil I I will do a follow up video thankyou for the help !!!
Hi I found your video helpful, my Burrows tail keeps losing the leafs when handled, i noticed yours does not do you know what i am doing wrong? Thanks for sharing please make more videos 😊
I'm glad it helped ! When my leaves get week I water a bit more regularly and put them in a sunnier spot ☺️goodluck feel free to ask questions whenever x
I wanted to "like, subscribe...", but without a follow up after years, I fear this plant tanked and died so I can't recreate this method in good faith. I hope that's not the case and want to say I appreciate the effort, but if it results in others killing their plants, then it's irresponsible to leave this video up.
Watching this as I mentally prepare to report my donkeys tail. I’m so nervous she’s so fragile but this is helping thank you!!
Impressive tough little plant, your tearing apart seemed almost brutal, but that tells me these are resilient plants, when so many handle so very gently. Great video.
I inherited some of these from my brother, who passed away in July 2019....lovely plants, which seem to thrive on neglect.
Peter Dane what a lovely thing to inherit! And a beautiful way to honour the memory of your brother.
Once established they sure do thrive on neglect and I tiny bit of water every now and then , I hope you enjoy your donkeys tail
please do an update of what this looks like now! 🤗
Diana Moore I definitely will ! Keep checking in

Chubby Succulents Awesome! Thanks so much! I look forward to seeing more of your succulents!
Update on this plant baby please! 🥰
Does the root ball need any special care, such as cleaning, prior to repotting?
Lori Badgero I would only recommend cleaning the root ball if you have a bug infestation. Apart from that I would just use fresh soil with fertiliser already added, so you don’t burn the root ball
This looks good. 😍
The new root barely come out for me. Mine turn into raisins. I still didn’t know whyyy

Cut all the rot off. Use some rooting hormones to helps it root faster.
@@imoannelson6974 thankss so much for responding... I'll give that a go 😊

Just all fresh green colour !
I hope this helps

Great video! Subbed!
