Succulents can make the friendliest houseplants as well as a great addition to any garden, if you follow the little rule book they come along with. Succulents have a character of their own and hence need particular attention to nurture well. And once you get a hang of them, they are incredibly easy to care for. Here are few tips to remember when you bring your Vivero’s Lucky Succulent home :
- Succulents love the sunlight. Keep them in the sun for the entire day and see them stay fresh and perky for longer. Avoid putting them in full sun after long hours of shade.
- Water it only when the soil is dry. Succulents can sustain longer with minimum water. When you water them, do it thoroughly until excess water drips out of the bottom.
- Succulents need their special potting mix. The standard potting mix retains water that causes its roots to rot. With your Vivero Buddy you also get special pot mixes for it to grow healthy and happy.
- Make way for drainage. As we said, Succulents need less water. Hence, choose a pot carefully that has proper drainage of water.
- Succulents can be packed tightly for they have shallow roots that grow slowly. So if you like the look of packed planters, go for it!
- Along with the sun, Succulents love to have their own space. Allowing them to have ample breathing space makes them live longer and healthier.
- Many succulents never require any pruning for they grow slowly. So the plant parents are advised to let your lucky succulent grow on its own.
- Pests can damage your succulents. Keep checking your plan for any insect infestation. Watering sparingly is one way to avoid gnats.
