Why is my burro's tail dropping leaves?
The little leaves are very fragile and fall off when touched or bumped: handle it as little as possible, and if they drop you can use them to propagate new plants.
How often should I water burro's tail?
Very little: every 2-3 weeks in summer and once a month in winter, letting the soil dry out fully between waterings.
