The weather is finally warming up and different flowers and plants are reawakening after a long, cold winter. Do these plants inspire you to try your hand at gardening? Start with succulents! They are both beautiful and nearly indestructable, for those of you with a not so green thumb.
Here are four tips to grow healthy and happy succulents this spring.
1. Water Less.
- Soak your plant about once a week .
2. Well Draining Soil.
- The soil needs to dry out between waterings so that the roots have a chance to dry.
3. Lots of Sunlight.
- Succulents prefer morning light with some shade in the afternoon so that they don’t get sunburned.
4. Propogate.
- It is easy to create more succulents by simply removing some of the leaves and putting them out on damp soil to grow.
