Burro's tail forms an impressive string of succulent leaves, reminiscent of a donkey's tail (hence its name). Left to its own devices, burro's tail will eventually form a long string that can grow out of the terrarium, but if kept in shape it can add complexity to the display thanks to its differently-shaped growth habit. Use burro's tail with any other succulents or cacti, in a free-draining potting mix in a warm, well-lit location.
