Succulents & Cacti
About These Plants...
Succulents and Cacti are now a very common houseplant and caring for your cacti and succulents is important. They come in a vast range of shapes and sizes from the petite to the grand. Cacti and succulents fall into the same group because they both have characteristics meaning they can survive in arid environments.
The native habitat for most cacti and succulents is a desert.
Caring For Your Succulents
Succulents & Cacti love light and need about six hours of sun per day, depending on the type of succulent
When you water your succulents & Cacti, soak the soil until water runs out of the drainage holes. (If your container doesn’t have drainage holes, use less water.) Overwatering can kill your succulent, so make sure you let the soil dry between waterings.
Succulents and Cacti need soil that drains, so regular potting soil—or dirt from your yard—won’t do. Choose cactus soil or mix potting soil with sand, pumice, or perlite. Succulent roots are very fragile so be gentle when repotting.
