You probably prefer to purchase your succulent plants locally. These bags can be purchased and come with instructions for how to use them. Gently wiggle the leaf back and forth until the whole leaf comes off. Although this may sound great if the goal is to grow the plant, it can also be a nightmare if the plant takes over the neighbor's garden. Some gardeners prefer one ingredient to another. Rebutia Muscula is a popular choice. They secrete a sugary, white substance. Their leaves can be green, pink, or purple in color.

The variety of the succulent will determine whether it has orange-red or yellow leaves. Healthy leaves are brightly colored and thick. The flowers of an Easter cactus are, in contrast, brightly colored and thick. Mountain Crest Gardens has excellent catalogue organization. Mountain Crest Gardens will be the first site you find when you search Google for your favorite fat plant. Mountain Crest Gardens' shipping policies are some of my favorites. They take great care to protect the plants and keep you safe from certain spiny plants.
