You also don’t want to park your succulents in a drafty or cold spot in your home (so pay attention to that when picking a window out) since they do love the warm weather.
Pro tip before we move past the sun and positions: turn the containers of your succulents on occasion to make sure your succulents are benefiting from every angle of the sun.
Speaking of your containers, you want to ensure your succulents have great drainage and that whatever they’re in has a hole for drainage.
A sandy potting soil mix or even a soil specifically geared towards cacti are great choices if you ever wish to repot your succulents.
Succulents don’t appreciate being waterlogged, so when it comes to watering them, you want to err on the side of less is more.
You should also check and make sure the soil is dry before giving them any water. Remember, they come from deserts!
Also, there’s a seasonality to follow. During the spring and summer months, they’re thirstier, so watering them every two weeks should be sufficient.
Over the course of the fall and winter, they don’t require as much watering, so you can dial it back to monthly.
There you have it! Will you give succulents a try?
