Saving your plants from the brink of death is not an easy feat, but if you follow these tips and tricks they will live long happy lives in a beautiful garden.
SOIL
Soil is the most important of almost all backyard plants.
Succulents love good draining soil and they thrive in it to get their roots deep into rich, loamy subsoils where water can reach them easily from capillary action, without being held back by compacted layers or other obstacles that slow down drainage systems.
Might I offer some advice about what is best suited for optimal growth?
A mix containing equal parts of gritty sand with small amounts (2 cups) perlite should give your succulent exactly what it needs β rough enough texture so air flows evenly through each grain!
WATER RESPONSABLY
To help your plants grow, itβs important that you water them when the soil feels dry.
You don’t want to add any extra moisture directly onto their leaves as this can cause mold or rot quickly and easily kill off a living plant if left unchecked!
Be sure not just to check for yourself but ask an expert how often they recommend watering, as each succulent has different watering needs.
PROVIDE ADEQUATE SUNLIGHT
Some plants have different tolerances for light. Some will suffer during hot days, while others can handle direct sunlight and thrive in it!
To avoid this problem try to put them where they would get the most sun on your patio or balcony.
