Tips for Successful Succulent Cultivation

  1. Good Drainage Is Essential

    • Use lightweight, gravel-rich potting medium
    • Select pots with drainage holes or add pea gravel for optimal drainage
    • Consider using clear plastic saucers to protect surfaces from water spillover

  2. Perch at the Rim

    • Avoid planting succulents too deeply
    • Ensure lowest leaves are at or above the rim of the container for proper air circulation

  3. Water Only When Completely Dry

    • Check potting medium moisture levels using a clean, dry chopstick
    • Water only when the potting medium is completely dry to avoid overwatering

Design Like a Pro

Creating balanced succulent arrangements can be achieved using a simple formula:
– Thriller: Choose a dramatic focal point specimen
– Spiller: Select trailing varieties to cascade down the sides
– Filler: Use low-profile plants to fill in the spaces between the thriller and spiller

By following this formula, you can create stunning succulent displays that will impress your guests. Additionally, you can propagate your succulents from cuttings to expand your collection or share with others.
