Succulent plans should be prepared for 40 degrees Fahrenheit. This is because this is the temperature at that they will start to change their color. When they reach their freezing point, frost and rot will occur. Root rot can also be caused by prolonged freezing in water that is left on the plant after it has been incubated for a while. However, succulents do not need to be given a lot water or humidity when they are dormant. Although many succulents are able to withstand a very brief frost (less then an hour), Agave truncata leaves will suffer damage immediately.

Serious succulent growers love the beauty and ornamental value of this plant. When winter strikes, make it a habit of bringing your plant inside. Plants don't like being watered in winter. Aphids are a type insect that can infect Euphorbia, yellowing leaves, and wilting the branches. Firstly, if the plant isn't in view, it can be easily forgotten about, and by the time you do remember to check it, it could be too late. The USDA created a plant-hardiness map, which divides North America in 13 zones. These zones are for succulents that can grow in these zones.

Plants produce epidermis only at the root tips and shoots. A succulent stem that expands after a downpour may limit water absorption. Jelly Bean plants are among the easiest plants to propagate by stem cuttings. All you need: Common succulents obtained as cuttings (jade, aloes, agaves, elephant's food, firesticks) or customers willing to pay for quantities of nursery plants; a truck and tools. Your goal is to be the "echeveria expert." All you need is creativity, good eyesight, and a reliable wholesale source within driving range.

Always use a well drained potting soil mix with good air porosity. Once the roots have emerged, place the stem in a well drained soil mixture. After the roots have emerged, you can place the leaf in a soil mixture. To multiply leaves by cutting them, use a sterilized and pachyphytum types sharp knife. You should use this method to create a clean cut from top to bottom of the succulent. For this, you will need a sharp and sterile knife or garden scissors to make a cut across the stem.
