Don Newcomer is the owner of Serra Gardens. This succulent specialty nursery has been in Malibu for 25+ years. He will soon move south to Fallbrook, for business reasons. Numerous succulents are native to the continent, and in the south the climate is similar to that of coastal and southern California. Aloe Arborescens, which is native to South Africa and grows in Southern California, has dense plantings that rim the cliffs in coastal communities. California native plants can withstand wildfires quite well, but that doesn't mean they won't burn.

Overwatering is the most common cause of succulent plant deaths. It could also lead to dead air plants. In warm, sunny areas, the plant can reach two feet in height. You will need to position your String of Hearts in a west or south-facing window. However, it may be possible to keep them directly in an east or north-facing window. Lithops don't need a lot of fertilizer, but you can give them a little bit every few months to help them grow healthy and strong. Even though it is not summer, the aeoniums can still go into dormancy.
