# I picked this guy up at the farmers market this morning. I believe…

_Posted by BigGahoona on 2026-05-02_

I picked this guy up at the farmers market this morning. I believe this is a burro or burrito tail? Based on what I’ve read so far, they’re fragile and I should find a good spot for it and then never touch it again. Water when it’s all the way dry. And if I’m going to repot I should do it now and then let it be. Sound about right?

Sorry but this is not a burros tail. Totally different plant but not as delicate. It’s a peperomia columella (spelling?). Beautiful healthy example.

Thank you!

This is my sedum burrito aka burros tail or donkey tail. The look is similar but care will be a little different than yours.

I actually now want you to have a burrito plant for … Mexican food purposes…
