How To Take Care Of Your Succulents Plants

Succulents, unlike cacti, prefer moderate temperatures (70-90¡ãF). Place them indoors by a window or outdoors on a sheltered patio or beneath trees.??

Succulents suffer leaf burns in full sun and become weak in shade. Green types prefer shade; red, gray, and spiked varieties, sunlight.??

Vibrant succulents such as aeoniums and echeverias require six hours of daily sunlight to retain their rich colors and compact shape.

During winter, most succulents enter dormancy, ceasing growth until spring. Avoid fertilizing; water sparingly to prevent root rot. Stored nutrients sustain them.

In spring to fall, fertilize succulents with half-strength 10-10-10 fertilizer. Avoid fertilizing in winter when they're dormant.
