One of my favorite succulent shades of all, and I have a lot of favorites, are the ones in shades of pink. Although the soil might still be moist at depth, it is okay to water the plant as long a the top of the soil feels dry. For a quick check of moisture, place your finger into the soil/potting mix. If the top 2 inch is moist, the plant will not require any additional water. It likes very little watering during winter months. While outdoor plants can be fed lightly in spring, indoor plants should receive a well-blended fertilizer at least once per month during summer and spring.

If you're growing succulents outdoors, on the other hand, the Bonsai Jack Succulent Soil may or may not be the right fit for you. Add your top dressing and press down on it to hold the succulent in place. You should add mulch around your plants' base to prevent them from losing moisture. Your plants will start to show signs of trouble sooner than you think. The Stonecrop succulents (also known as Sedums) are a small, hardy group of plants that can be grown outdoors. They are hardy succulents and easy to propagate.

Here's my finished faux-concrete succulent grid planter. I've used stems taken from this plant to grow them in a different container. The idea is to make a planter that looks like those at The Well, but costs less than ten per cent. Michael amended the remaining clay soil 60-70 percent with high quality topsoil (approx. To improve water percolation, topsoil was added 20-30 percent to mixed with medium-grade pumice. The soil was scavenged, as is typical for new home construction. This removed the topsoil necessary for plants to thrive. I estimated I'd need 21 but got 24 just in case.

Corpuscularia lehmannii, also known as "Ice Plant", has the typical needs of a succulent. "Cocoon Plant" in Afrikaans is called "Tontelbos", which means "tinderbush". Cocoon Plant isn't cold-hardy. If you live in a region that gets lower than 30deg F (-1.1deg Celsius), it's best for this succulent to be planted in a container that can easily be brought indoors. "Cocoon Plant," a perennial, grows extremely well from its leaves. Corpuscularia lehmannii also refers to Mesembryanthemum lehmannii, Delosperma lehmannii, and Schonlandia lehmannii as the "Ice Plant".
