Succulent Plants

Succulents are the perfect plant for forgetful gardeners. Succulent care is easy, and succulent gardens and terrariums can brighten any indoor space. Succulent plants are trendy for a reason. With juicy leaves, stems, or roots, succulents form a vast and diverse group of plants, offering easy-care choices for your home. Plus, they look stunning planted alone or as companions.

The color variation of succulents seems almost endless: blue-green, chartreuse, pink, red, yellow, white, burgundy, almost black, variegated, and more. The leaves may be rounded, needlelike, berrylike, ruffled, or spiky. Many have an enticing "touch-me" quality -- even cacti.

Succulents like the dry humidity and warm conditions found in most homes, and while they like direct light, they can adapt to lower light. They all prefer a fast-draining potting medium that's not watered too often.

Succulents love basking in the sun! Keep them on your porch or near a window so they can get at least six hours of sunlight every day.
Don’t give your succulents too much love. They only need a little bit of a water, and pull a lot of moisture out of the air versus sucking it up with their roots. Too much water can lead to root rot and the plants will die. Start by spritzing your plants with water once a week, then, as they mature, begin watering the soil about once every couple weeks. The soil should be completely dry before you water them again.
If you notice your succulents starting to grow, you can gently trim them back. Replant the new parts in another dish and soon enough you’ll have multiple generations!
