It is very difficult to make a succulent thirsty. You can either use regular water or distilled water in this method. You should only water the rosettes with a small amount. You can also go monochromatic by using succulents with the same colors but different shades. For example, the leaves of an Aloe Vera. The solution is to remove any older leaves that have begun to shrivel up. Your plant may look sad and pathetic, as though it's asking for your help.

The ability to drain well is the most important quality in succulent potting mixes. This section will discuss growth factors such as fertilization, watering and lighting, and how to propagate, repot and repot your plants. You will be required to water your plants more often during active growing season. They absorb water at a faster rate than the rest of the soil to make new roots, stems, and flowers. Make sure you give them well-drained soil, so they never get soggy. Because the rains are unpredictable in the desert, cacti don't waste the little water they get.

Your succulent containers should be placed near a sunny window to get enough light. My plants have all gone back to their natural green over the winter because they haven't had quite enough light. It was able to retain its deep green color if it was given plenty of water in a cool environment. It is amazing how cold weather can affect succulents! Cold weather is another way to stress succulents into changing their color. This is an art tip and not an absolute necessity to grow healthy succulents. Mimi, my dear friend from I Dream of Succulents asked me to post the first tip on my blog.
