Succulent gardens don't require a lot of space. The roots can rot if they aren't allowed to dry out if the cacti and succulents aren't being watered enough. I hope you have a greater appreciation for cacti after reading this post. You will need to water your succulents in-ground according to the season. Placing succulents around your home introduces more clean oxygen into your body; that increase in oxygen helps you maintain a more peaceful emotional state, therefore lessening your stress levels. It aids in rooting, especially during propagation with stem cuttings.
