7 years agoHow to Plant Succulents-Plus, 7 Care Tips So They Thrive
Succulents require careful planting, adequate light, rotation, and seasonal watering for optimal growth.
The timing allows for water to work its way down to plant roots before the sun gets too strong. Midday watering often results in faster evaporation from the soil's surface, which is not only wasteful but also unhelpful to plants. Watering in the evening risks the opposite: Without sufficient sunlight for evaporation, excess moisture becomes trapped within and between plants, creating a perfect breeding ground for mold, mildew and fungal diseases.
