How to Grow Succulents

Succulents need 6-8 hours of bright light, gritty fast-draining soil, and pots with drainage. Succulents prefer deep, infrequent watering; soak-and-dry: water thoroughly, then let soil dry fully. Succulents root best in a 50:50 cactus mix with perlite or pumice; feed at half-strength in spring. Treat them like desert fare—sun, stone, a measured pour—and they’ll reward you with sculptural calm.
