Some people say that succulents require no care at all—this is not entirely accurate. They are indeed suitable for people who do not have particularly “green fingers.”
It is true that they are easier to care for than many other plants due to less frequent watering and more flexible lighting requirements, but they still require care.
And in this article, we will teach you how.
Although it is commonly believed that because succulents are relatives of cacti they will be comfortable in full sun—this is not always the case. There are many species for which strong sunlight can actually burn the plant. Many succulents prefer partial sun, and some do not prefer sun exposure at all. Therefore, it is recommended to consult the shop regarding each specific variety and type.
The most surprising part is that during spring and summer, succulents enter a “growth” phase in which they are most active and require more water and nutrients. As the year cools, they enter a dormant phase and need much less water (this is the point where you can ease off on care a bit).
During the warmer months, in their growth phase, succulents should be watered once a week by fully soaking the pot in a bucket or bowl. Pay attention to the signs succulents give. Common signs include yellowing, which may indicate too much sunlight or overwatering. If the succulent is leaning toward the light source, it likely means it is not receiving enough light. The bottom line is that succulents are strong and resilient plants. Once you understand their care conditions, you will fall in love with them—just like so many people have in recent years.
