Succulent Care Tips
Light
Place your succulents in a location where they can receive bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent sunburn.
Watering
Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is a common issue with succulents and can lead to root rot. Water sparingly, especially during the dormant season.
Soil
Use well-draining soil mix specifically formulated for succulents. A mixture of potting soil and perlite or sand works well to ensure proper drainage and prevent waterlogging.
Temperature
Most succulents thrive in warm temperatures between 70-85°F (21-29°C). Protect them from extreme cold or frost, as many succulents are sensitive to freezing temperatures.
By selecting the right succulents and following these care tips, you can create a beautiful vertical garden that thrives and adds a touch of greenery to any space!
