How do you take care of a Succulent?
Location
A succulent can grow on almost every location. From bright light to partial shade. The optimum light for a succulent depends on the type of succulent. If you want to reposition the succulent to a new location, make sure that the plant can get used to the new position first.
Watering
There’s a common misconception that a succulent doesn’t need much water to grow. Even though a succulent can hoard moisture to save water for drier climates or drought-like conditions, it certainly can't live with just a little water. However, it doesn’t like being drowned in too much water either.
It is best to water a succulent every month in the growing season, from spring to summer. In the fall and winter it is best to only water the plant once every 3 months.
Plant nutrition
A succulent is low-maintenance and doesn't need much nutrients. However, any good indoor plant nutrition diluted to half of the recommended strength can be a nice addition for your succulent. Fertilizing a succulent once a month is enough.
Repotting
Repotting a succulent can be quite a job. We therefore recommend repotting a succulent only when really necessary, or at least once every 3 years. Make sure the new flowerpot is at least 20% larger than the previous one.
Air-purifying
Succulents are not known for its air-purifying function. As far as we’re concerned, no problem.
Are Succulents toxic?
Succulents are indeed toxic. Their toxicity comes into action when either pets or humans ingest them.
Diseases and peculiarities
Succulents are not excessively susceptible to diseases and pests. Should the plant still suffer from pests, then you can use pesticide. Although pesticide can mean the end of the plant. Therefore, be careful.
