Succulents

Succulents are considered some of the hardiest plants in the garden. They are naturally found in hot climates with less rain. They store water in their leaves, so they can survive in times with no water. These wonderful plants are drought-tolerant and they even thrive with neglect. They do need water to survive. Just make sure they are completely dried out before they are watered again. Succulents like to grow in porous, well draining soil. I use a cactus/succulent mix. It can help with proper drainage. To ensure the health of the succulents, it is important not to over water them. They don't like to sit in wet soil. Sitting in wet soil too long will cause root rot and death to these beautiful plants.

There are so many shapes, sizes and beautiful colors. Sometimes it is hard to choose which one you want to bring home. We have a little bit of everything here. And we are always bringing someone new home to the garden. Succulents can be planted in so many things. They can be planted inside or outside. The creative ideas that can be done with succulents are endless. Succulents have grown in popularity and have become a hobby to many, myself included. Succulents need bright light to survive. Too much light could burn their leaves and not enough makes them stretch for it. Their colors change as well from shade to sun. They are very versatile in the garden.
