Dragon Tail Succulent Overview and Care Guide

The Dragon Tail succulent, scientifically known as Cotyledon undulata, is an attractive and hardy succulent native to South Africa. Its name comes from its long, narrow, wavy leaves that resemble the shape of a dragon's tail. This plant has thick, fleshy leaves that are light green with a hint of red at the edges, especially when exposed to strong sunlight. The Dragon Tail succulent is a low-maintenance plant, making it an excellent choice for succulent enthusiasts looking to add a unique, sculptural plant to their indoor or outdoor garden.

Key Characteristics and Care Tips for the Dragon Tail Succulent:

Foliage and Growth: The Dragon Tail succulent features long, narrow, undulating leaves that grow in clusters from the stem. The leaves are light green, with red or orange margins, and are covered in a fine powdery coating. The plant can grow up to 18-24 inches (45-60 cm) tall and spread up to 18 inches (45 cm) wide. In late spring or summer, it produces clusters of orange or red tubular flowers that appear on tall stems, adding a pop of color to the plant.

Light Requirements: The Dragon Tail succulent thrives in full sunlight. It needs at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight per day to grow well and maintain its vibrant colors. If kept indoors, place it near a bright window with south or west exposure. Insufficient light can cause the plant to become leggy, with stretched, weak growth. If growing outdoors, the Dragon Tail should be placed in a sunny, well-ventilated spot.

Watering: Like most succulents, the Dragon Tail prefers infrequent watering. Water it thoroughly, but allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is a common issue and can lead to root rot, so be sure the pot has good drainage. In the dormant winter months, reduce watering as the plant's growth slows down and its water requirements decrease.

Temperature and Humidity: The Dragon Tail succulent prefers warm temperatures between 60°F to 85°F (15°C to 29°C). It is not frost-tolerant, so it should be brought indoors or protected during colder months. The plant thrives in low-humidity conditions, as it is native to dry, arid climates. High humidity can lead to fungal issues, so avoid placing it in damp or overly humid areas.

Soil: A well-draining soil mix is essential for the Dragon Tail succulent. Use a cactus or succulent potting mix, and you can add sand or perlite to improve drainage. The plant does not tolerate waterlogged soil, so ensure the pot has drainage holes to allow excess water to escape. A well-draining soil mix prevents root rot and helps maintain healthy root development.

Fertilizer: During the growing season (spring and summer), feed the Dragon Tail succulent with a diluted, balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks. Avoid fertilizing in the winter when the plant is dormant. Over-fertilizing can lead to weak growth, so always dilute the fertilizer to half-strength and apply it sparingly.

Repotting: Repot the Dragon Tail succulent every 1-2 years or when it becomes root-bound. When repotting, choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and has proper drainage holes. The best time to repot is in the spring or early summer when the plant is actively growing. Refresh the soil during repotting to support healthy root growth.

Pests and Problems: The Dragon Tail succulent is generally pest-resistant, but it may attract common succulent pests like mealybugs, aphids, and spider mites. Regularly inspect the plant for pests and treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil if necessary. Overwatering can also cause root rot, so always allow the soil to dry between waterings to prevent this issue.

Propagation: The Dragon Tail succulent can be propagated by stem cuttings. To propagate, take a healthy stem with a few leaves, allow it to dry for a few days to callous over, and then plant it in well-draining soil. Keep the cutting in a bright location and avoid direct sunlight until it establishes roots. The plant will grow and develop into a new plant after a few weeks.

With its unique wavy leaves, striking red-tipped edges, and easy care requirements, the Dragon Tail succulent makes a stunning addition to any succulent garden or indoor collection. Its sculptural form and ability to thrive with minimal attention make it an excellent choice for both beginner and seasoned gardeners.

Good For History Lovers
I doubt anyone who does not want to read a true historical book with a lot of facts but not as exciting as a non-fiction novel will enjoy this. I liked it because I learned a lot of things about New York that I was really surprised to read. Seems my beloved New York had a pretty bloody, violent history towards slaves and Catholics and some others the leaders and people did not like. I didn't realize the punishments of the day were just as bad, if not worse, than those of the Salem Witch hunt days. Beware, some of the content may turn your stomach.

Format: Hardcover
Jill Lepore's "New York Burning: Liberty, Slavery, and Conspiracy in Eighteenth-Century Manhattan" is a valuable and admirable examination of one of the darkest episodes in New York's history: the so-called slave rebellion of 1741 and the brutal vengeance that was extracted. Professor Lepore's painstaking research confronts the reader with a terrible conclusion: even the most respectable of people in society will consent to the deaths of human beings, based on even the tiniest shreds of evidence. Focusing primarily on the actions of Daniel Horsmanden, the City's Recorder, Lepore provides the reader with a background on the attitudes of New York's whites toward their slaves. She makes clear that Gotham was neither the first nor only city to have witnessed slave uprisings. (It had suffered a similar uprising a couple of decades earlier.) But the events of 1741 were unique for several reasons: --the shifting finger-pointing at various groups; --the inconsistency of Mary Burton's testimony, which essentially was the case against several slaves;and --Horsmanden's bizarre behavior toward Mary Burton. Admittedly, I've only superficially studied this dark time in New York's history, so I was shocked to learn that there were actually several "conspiracies": the Negro Plot, Hughson's Plot, the Spanish Plot, the Roman Plot, etc. Each plot was hatched depending on who confessed to what. Worst of all, the white population of New York--fueled by racism, xenophobia, paranoia, and, not the least of all, bloodlust--went right along with it. And, with the exception of an intriguing anonymous letter from Massachussetts, it seems the rest of the colonies went along with it, too. While Horsmanden is just short of villified in this book, he is not alone in his culpability. Professor Lapore's "New York Burning" will disturb many readers. The accounts of the slaves and the few whites burning, hanging, begging, and praying are graphic and heartbreaking. Still, this in an incredibly important book for anyone interested in the history of our nation and/or the all-too-tragic fragility of race relations in America. For this, Professor Lapore deserves our appreciation

Spectacular Albeit Unknown History of Race Relations
Format: Hardcover
This is a great piece of historiography about something few know about at all --- slavery in New York City in the 18th century. How about a slave "rebellion" in New York City, how about more people burned at the stake than in the Salem witchcraft trials, how about dark byways and highways of old New York, barely transformed from its days as New Amsterdam, dark plots in dank places, shrill frightened tyrants overreacting with bloody retribution, burned ruins of an early African American village in Central Park? One cannot make up this stuff, it is too real so it must be history at its best. And written by one of our premier authors of history, a woman who makes our history live in The New Yorker to the acclaim of many, and yet whose best book, this one, is still too little known. If you appreciate Harry Truman's remark that the only new thing under the Sun is the history you haven't read, then this is one to curl up with and marvel at; a great way to spend a rainy day or a dark night.

Good, but not great.
Format: Paperback
Kudos to Lepore for delving into an important, little known subject, which she does better than most historians. At times, however, I think she felt the need to put every little piece of information she got into the book. It was way too long. Some good research, but she has done better. Still, worth checking out. I like to think I know American history, but I know nothing about this awful chapter.

DAMN, this is a great book!
Format: Hardcover
All history books should be this detailed, this readable, this humane. Lepore knows how to write about a horrible, nearly forgotten episode in NYC history. Unlike many historians, she steps away from overt politics or raw emotion. She knows that this subject is too serious to be shouted. It is the rare history book that is packed with facts as well as knowledge. I felt like Lepore was taking my hand and leading me through the smelly streets of lower Manhattan in 1741, like I could almost see the faces of...what were they, anyway? The victims of a horrible hoax? The demented planners of a plot to burn the city? Or something in between, where thieves can also be the keepers of ancient rites from a distant homeland, where the world is turned upside down? I could go on and on, but just buy the book!
