Succulent

Succulents prefer dry soil and air because they store water in their plump, fleshy leaves, making them incredibly resilient and self-sufficient. You can often tell when a succulent needs water as their leaves look wrinkled and puckered.

Water when the top inch of soil feels dry.

Note: Check the soil before watering to avoid overwatering. Stick your finger or a wooden stick into the soil to the recommended depth. If it feels completely dry, it’s time to water. If it still feels damp or leaves moisture on your finger or stick, wait and check again later.

💧 Watering

☀️ Lighting

Prefers bright, indirect light, but is tolerant of medium light.

Avoid direct sunlight as this can burn their delicate leaves.

Succulents can be easily duplicated using their own leaves through a process called propagation. Allow fallen leaves to settle on soil and watch them slowly develop roots and new leaves, indicating a new plant has been created.
