Brody Scotland, a subscriber to Celebrating the Joy of Succulents, says that her beautiful and low-cost succulent garden and home are the result of "artists & weirdos" like herself and Ben who love bright colors. All succulents are built to thrive in low-water environments, which means that they require very little watering. Did you know that giving succulents water with the wrong pH can inhibit the plants' ability to take up nutrients? The entire leaf should be removed, including its base. Take your Trachyandra Plant's preferred leaves and carefully trim the area near the base.
