caring tips for succulents love
1) Let your succulents love see the sun!
Succulents offer brilliant colors and are at their best when exposed to long days of direct sunlight (6 hours+ of direct light). While you can grow succulents in the shade, their colors won’t be as intense. The more sun the better!
If your succulent is growing a bit lanky, with a long stem and lots of space between leaves, then it’s probably not getting enough light and is “reaching” for the sun. You can use alternative artificial lights to supplement your succulent light requirements. Take a look at the to grow lights we carry and recommend over here.
2) Water Gently…
Summer
Your best bet for succulents is to water thoroughly, but less often. Succulents like to dry out between waterings and hate having their roots continuously wet. This is the rule whether the plants are indoors or outdoors. Stay away from ineffective misting that can encourage unhealthy bacteria. Always water deep and saturate the soil to give your succulents a good long drink.
Winter
During the winter months of December and January, your succulents will go to sleep and show little to no signs of growth. This is where overwatering can do real damage to your plants and where most of the losses can occur. Check to make sure your soil has very little moisture before you water. Once the days get longer, near the middle or end of February, you will see your plants actively growing again and that’s your cue to start watering more regularly.
