Succulents Care Guide
Succulents are popular houseplants because they are relatively easy to care for. However, there are a few key things to keep in mind to ensure your succulents stay healthy and thrive.
Light
Succulents need at least six hours of sunlight per day. If they don't get enough sunlight, they will become weak and leggy. If you live in a hot climate, you may need to move your succulents to a shadier spot during the hottest part of the day. Newly planted succulents may need to be gradually introduced to full sun exposure. Rotate your succulents frequently to ensure every side gets even sunlight.
Watering
Succulents should be watered when the top 1.25 inches of soil are dry. Be careful not to over-water your succulents. Over-watering is the most common cause of succulent death. During the fall and winter, succulents need less water.
Soil
Succulents need well-draining soil to prevent rot. Use a well-draining potting mix that is specifically designed for succulents. If the soil is too wet, the roots will rot and the succulent will die.
A terra-cotta pot is a good choice for succulents, as it allows excess water to escape. Choose a pot that is the right size for your plant. The pot should be deep enough to accommodate the roots, but not so big that the soil stays wet for too long. Repot your succulents every few years, or when they outgrow their pot.
Other Care Tips
• Fertilize your succulents once a month during the spring and summer. Be careful not to over-fertilize, as this can also kill your succulents.
• Fertilize your succulents once a month during the spring and summer with a balanced fertilizer.
• Not protecting from pests and diseases: Succulents can be susceptible to pests and diseases. Inspect your plants regularly and treat any problems as soon as possible.
With proper care, your succulents can bring you years of enjoyment. Following the tips above will help you keep your succulents healthy and thriving for many years to come.
