Succulents and cacti are among the easiest, fuss-free plants, however, they still need care to make sure they stay healthy and vibrant. Succulents thrive in light, so keep them by windows or in light-filled areas. Be sure to rotate your succulents, too, so each side gets an adequate amount of light.
Keep your succulents watered, but don’t overwater them. Test the soil with a finger—if the top inch is dry, it’s time to water. Don’t mist your succulents as it can cause moldy leaves and brittle stems. For potted succulents, make sure there’s enough drainage holes—they hate to sit in soggy, waterlogged soil. Find a variety of decorative succulent pots from sellers on Etsy.
Care for the appearance of your plants in addition to their hydration. Keep indoor succulents and cacti clean and dust-free to help them shine like the beauties they are. Gently wipe leaves and spines with a slightly damp cloth or paper towel from time to time to maintain a fresh and lush look.
Planting cacti and succulents outdoors? Make sure you have the right soil, such as cactus soil or mix potting soil with sand. When it comes to nurturing your succulents with succulent fertilizer, lightly feed them during the spring and summer.
