Succulents don't require special soil to grow in but what succulents do need is soil that drains properly.
Succulents 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.
You should water your succulents after repotting but only water the succulents after repotting sparingly.
Succulents don't need fertilizer to grow and thrive especially if the succulents are planted in the ground.
Although fertilizer is okay and good for the succulents and can be used if you want too.
Succulents don't need direct sunlight to grow but succulents do prefer direct sunlight to grow properly and thrive better.
Succulents love direct sun, but if yours is sitting in the same exact spot day after day, it's likely that only one side is getting enough light.
Succulents will lean towards the sun, so rotating them will help them stand up straight.
(Leaning may also be a sign that they need to be in a sunnier spot.)
Succulents take between 3 days to a few weeks to begin growing.
Different varieties of succulents grow at different rates.
The size and growth rate of a given plant depends on climate, soil type, watering, and fertilization.
Slow varieties will stay nice and small in a pot, whereas fast, ground cover varieties like Sedum can spread up to 1" a month in the growing season.
Succulents do make good indoor plants as they not only add beauty to the home but also purify the air in your home naturally.
Succulents are good for home.
Succulents clean the air in your home and like snake plant and aloe vera, are excellent at cleansing the air and removing toxins.
The same applies to your home, the more plants you have, especially in groupings, the better you can improve the humidity in your home that can prevent dry skin, colds, sore throat and dry cough.
Most succulents prefer at least 6 hours of sun per day, so try to place them near a south- or east-facing window.
You may notice your succulents becoming spindly or stretching toward the light if they don't get enough sun.
Succulents do grow pretty well without sunlight and they make great indoor plants.
Yes succulents can grow well even without sunlight.
Most succulents have the ability to grow just fine in low sunlight or low light conditions and so if you have succulents and not enough sunlight the succulents should grow just fine.
I have a few succulents in a low light area and they do just fine.
Although I do try to provide the succulents some sunlight or even artificial light when possible the succulents don't seem to mind not having much sunlight.
My succulents have been living in low light conditions for 7 years now and it's never been an issue.
