Your personal preference and taste will determine how you plant your succulent or cactus garden. A Cactus Potting Mix is the best soil choice. You can also just let them be. Give the plant a good swig and let it absorb the water. You don't have to worry about losing your Tillandsia collection because healthy air plants can make multiple offsets at the same time. After you have collected the cuttings, it is necessary to let them out in the open for a few days before you plant them. My Aeonium arboreum Zwartkop is happy to be outside during the wetter seasons.

Do succulent pots need drainage holes? There are many options for colors to choose from, including those in yellow, blue, red, or green. Here's how you can spot rot. The lower leaves and the base of the stem start turning yellow or mushy. Use the nozzle and spray water on the soil around your stem. You can hold the soil and base of your succulent stem by one hand if you're able. Although you can skip this step it will speed up the process. It can occur at any stage in propagation.

Basil starts to wilt after, like, 6 hours without water (or that's what it feels like). A succulent can be described as a plant that is capable of storing water.

Even placing your succulent under a grow light can provide enough warmth for the soil to dry out a bit faster. Even outdoor succulents can be damaged by too much sun. It can survive temperatures as low as 30 degrees. USDA hardiness zones 9b-11b range from 25-50 degrees Fahrenheit. Make sure to water the soil around the base of your plant. It needs a lot of light and should be kept in a spot where it will get full sun to partial shade. Rose Succulents are similar to Aeonium in that they require a lot of care. They also have high calcium needs.
