Succulent – Description and Care Tips

Description :
Succulents are hardy, low-maintenance plants known for their thick, fleshy leaves or stems that retain water. These plants are adapted to survive in arid conditions, making them ideal for indoor spaces, gardens, and containers. With a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and colors, succulents add a modern, decorative touch to any setting. Popular types include Echeveria, Aloe, Haworthia, and Jade plant.

Care Tips for Succulents:

• Light:
  Succulents love bright light—place them near a sunny window where they can get at least 4–6 hours of indirect sunlight daily.

• Water:
  Water sparingly. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is the most common cause of succulent death.

• Soil:
  Use well-draining cactus or succulent potting mix. You can also mix regular soil with sand or perlite.

• Pot:
  Always use pots with drainage holes to prevent water from sitting at the bottom.

• Temperature:
  Succulents prefer warm environments (15–30°C). Protect them from frost and freezing temperatures.

• Fertilizer:
  Feed lightly with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength during the growing season (spring and summer).
