Sunlight Secrets:
Sun Seekers: Most succulents crave bright, indirect sunlight. Think south-facing windows or sunny patios, shielded from scorching rays.
Seasonal Twists: Winter calls for less light, so adjust their position or consider supplemental lighting for sun-hungry varieties.
Watering Wisdom:
Less is More: Succulents store water like champs, so overwatering is their biggest enemy. Let the soil dry completely between waterings, then give them a good soak until water drains freely.
Winter Slumber: During cooler months, water even less frequently to avoid stress. Remember, they’re taking a nap!
Pot Power:
Drainage Detectives: Ensure your pots have drainage holes to prevent waterlogging. Terracotta is a natural choice, letting excess moisture evaporate.
Growing Up: Repot every 2-3 years into a slightly larger pot with fresh, fast-draining succulent mix to keep those roots happy.
Soil Secrets:
Drainage Dreams: Ditch the regular potting soil! Cacti and succulents need a gritty, well-draining mix specifically formulated for their needs.
Bonus Tips:
Rotate your succulents regularly for even growth.
Clean their spines gently with a soft brush to remove dust and grime.
Watch out for common pests like mealybugs and scale insects.
Research your specific species for tailored care instructions.
