You should spray your succulent leaves, especially their undersides, with water, insecticidal soap, or even neem oil, if you find any warning signs. However, since most gardeners don't keep the packaging of their gardening tools lying around, using WD-40 or any other tool oil is a pretty safe bet. * It is also a good idea to wash pots and other gardening tools with bleach. If you are into decorative arrangements such as terrariums or fairy gardens, you will already know how to put figurines in pots. Rhizomes are similar to roots but grow horizontally.

Your watering frequency will vary from season to season, but as long as you water the plant only when the soil is dry, your succulent will stay healthy. They will do well with very little watering until next summer. Cuttings should be taken in spring or summer 2-3 weeks after the flowering period. Low nitrogen fertilizer should be applied once a month, from spring through fall. Give it time to dry after the flowering season. Usually, a month is sufficient. You can let the soil dry for one month before you start again.
