Succulent flowers last a lot longer than other flowers. Last fall, I thought it would be fun and easy to plant succulents around this base. While succulents can survive for quite some time without water, the flowers of this arrangement held up just as well. It's easy to arrange all your succulent trimmings in a stunning container arrangement. These little bugs can be tough to remove from your plants. A little shade can not cause damage to your plants if the area is not exposed to sunlight. The process is simple. Once you have your soil, place the succulents into the soil.
