Succulents
Item No: 817XX

Light: Most succulent varieties need at least half a day to a full day of sunlight. In extremely hot areas, some afternoon shade is recommended. Succulents grown in too much shade will stretch looking for more sun.

Soil: Succulents need good draining soil. When planting in the garden, make sure the area drains well and is not in a low spot that would stay wet. For container planting you can purchase cactus soil or incorporate sand, gravel or volcanic rock for better drainage. The container you are planting in should have a drainage hole or put crushed rock on the bottom before your planting medium.

Watering: Succulents don't like to have wet feet. When you do water, water thoroughly. Once they are established they will need less water.

Fertilizer: Most succulents need very little fertilizer. Watering with a well balanced fertilizer once a month during the growing season will be all they need.
