Quick Tips on Growing Great Succulents

Posted by admin on February 14, 2009

Growing succulents can be easy or difficult depending on how you like to care for your plants. If you tend to over nurture plants, you’ll need to get used to neglecting plants when you start with succulents.  If you like to neglect your outdoor plants, you’re ready for succulents. Succulents generally have thick, fleshy leaves. Many originally live in dry areas. This means they like the soil to dry out between waterings. Succulents like a minimum of a half day of sun. Full sun is ideal. When growing succulents in pots, smaller containers are best as they like to be constrained at their roots. Succulents are very rewarding, often displaying beautiful leaves. Many succulents have spectacular flowers when they bloom. Plants can be inches in feet to taller than a person.
