It’s not too late for you to surprise yourself and your green friends! Keep reading about these beautiful low-maintenance plants that don’t need much watering.
Succulents are among the most drought-tolerant plants around, but they prefer water to be at a smaller than normal level.
If you want your succulent plant without any liquid for an extended period of time, then grow it in partial sun or shaded area during the summer months.
By doing this, you will help your plant store some water for a little longer.
1. Pebble Plant
The pebble plants are natural wonders that thrive in dry environments, but they depend on the topsoil for moisture.
When you start noticing your them looking dull or becoming brittle and cracks starting appearing, give them a drink; water them every 25-30 days to keep their colors vibrant!
2. Zebra Plant
The best way to water this plant is by using the ‘soak and dry’ method. You should also make sure not let your watering cans or pots sit in stagnant water, because doing so might harm it too much!
3. Yucca
Keeping yuccas healthy and flowering requires watering them once a month with fresh water. They do best when the soil is allowed to dry out for half of every day, so it’s important that you take care not to overwater your plant!
4. String of Pearls
Succulents can be tricky to water and keep alive, but with some know how they are not as challenging.
This particular plant is sensitive towards over-watering so make sure you only provide it with water when the top soil is dry to touch.
5. Aloe
Aloes are admired for their water-conserving abilities in a variety of ways. One way is that they have fat leaves which can survive 3-4 weeks without water!
6. Snake Plant
The best way to care for your snake plant is by knowing where it’s located. For plants in full sun, water every 10-15 days and if you have one that’s putting out roots near a windowsill or outside during winter months then only give them an inch every month!
7. Agave
Water your water agave plant thoroughly from spring to fall when the soil becomes dry. During winter, give it only moderate watering once or twice per month so that you do not kill its roots with cold weather conditions
8. Ponytail Palm
The Ponytail palm is a great plant for people who live in areas with hot and dry climate. It needs just one watering every 20-30 days, which makes it perfect if you don’t have time to do anything else!
9. ZZ Plant
To water the ZZ plant, allow soil to dry out. Too much watering can cause root rot and will take about 20-30 days before anything occurs with your desired outcome!
10. Tulista Haworthia
This plant prefers to be watered ‘soak and dry.’ Give it 25-30 days of drying time before you water again, unless your soil is really soft or boggy.
11. Little Jewel
Little Jewel is a succulent with fleshy, tubular leaves, and it is a less-watering succulent than many plants and it stays manageable with under watering.
12. Decipiens
Decipiens needs cautious watering in winter until spring. Water only when the soil becomes dry, and wait until it dries out before watering again; during summer a monthly visit should be enough!
13. Myrtillocactus Variegated Cactus
This fan-like cactus is known as a “slow grower.” Because it does not require much water, you should make sure to give them their own pot and keep the soil completely dry during winter.
14. Stardust
This small succulent with rosettes of green leaves is a hybrid between Tacitus bellus and Graptopetalum saxifragoides.
It has an interesting story behind it, as its name “stardust” suggests that this plant often struggles in dry weather but does really well when watered only once per month during winters!
15. Chilenito
Water this beautiful cactus every two weeks or less in summer, depending on the soil’s moisture. When it comes to winter, you can go without watering for a month and it will do fine too!
16. Namaqua Century Plant
This stunning plant has a unique appearance and growth habit. It looks amazing in large pots on sunny patios, but make sure you water it thoroughly when the topsoil dries out- watering once every 20-30 days should suffice!
17. Knopies
Lithops are fascinating plants that have a distinctive look, but this one is even more interesting. The two fleshy leaves grow up to 2 inches high and tightly clasp together at their base with no stems!
