## Frequently asked questions

### How often should I water a Burro's Tail?

Let soil dry out fully between waterings. Check the soil with your finger before watering: most houseplants prefer the top layer to dry a little between drinks. Water less often in winter when growth slows.

### Is a Burro's Tail safe for pets?

Pet safety is not firmly established. Check with your vet before placing it near pets.

### Why are my Burro's Tail leaves turning yellow?

Yellow leaves on a Burro's Tail are usually a watering problem, most often too much water. Make sure the pot has drainage holes, empty the saucer after watering, and let the top soil dry between waterings. Old lower leaves also yellow naturally as the plant grows.
